I came back and I was processing this breakup and trying to figure out like how do I get the

fuck out of here and I would like go outside and my parents lived in a suburb and I would just like shake and do these practices and they just thought I was crazy like there were actual talks about sending me to a mental institute not even joking and they were worried that something happened to my brain.

And that's why I'm like this.

And at that point I was just like certain that I'm not going to get the job and take the path that they want, but I again didn't have the clue.

I was just like, I'm going to get this IRVada book off the ground.

It's going to happen.

They're like, you've been saying this for two years and it hasn't happened yet. So I remember a specific fight with my dad and my

dad because he was so afraid of me taking this pathway that would potentially end me up in a mental asylum or

homeless. He just said whatever he could. So he would say you're a

complete loser, you're a failure, you're the scum of the earth you are not my daughter and I want nothing to do with you and saying all this not like I'm saying it in yelling and shouting and yelling at my mom of why did you raise such a disgusting daughter?

Who does she think she is? She is not a reflection of our family.

This is what we did this all for. It's your fault. you sent her traveling in the world you're the

one who exposed her to these hippies who gave her this idea what a waste Hello there it's Light Watkins welcome back to the Light Watkins show if this is

your first time here you are in for a treat I interview ordinary people just like you and me who've taken extraordinary leaps of faith,

often in the direction of their purpose or their path or their mission.

And in doing so, they've been able to positively impact the lives of many

many others who have heard about their story or who've witnessed them in action or

who've benefited from their work. My guest today needs no introduction, at least to those of you who are in the wellness space. Her name is Sahara Rose, and Sahara is someone that I have known for years as we both lived in Los Angeles and operated in the

wellness space and we have tons of mutual friends, many of which have been on the podcast,

but I had no idea how fascinating her backstory truly was, and how

much grit and determination and self-confidence and belief that Sahara had to have in herself in order to find and ultimately

live in her purpose.
