My father was, what are you doing out in the middle of nowhere? You could be doing a

residency in Mexico City, you have a house. What are you doing out there? And my mother was the

same thing. Come to the US and get your US license

you're not going to change the hardship and poverty where you're at you're not going to you're

not going to make it what is wrong with with you? I bet I could even

the tort to them and I'd say, yeah, you've got a point there, but I'm really

okay where I'm at. It's good where we at right now. Maybe someday I'll

leave here a few years, but I have something to learn here and I don't know what it is.

And I've been in cities and I know I don't want to learn there.

I don't want to be Hampton, my institutions and by the social society around me.

And here I feel kind of a freedom I've never felt before.

Hey friend, welcome back to the Light Watkins show. I'm Light Watkins and I have conversations

with ordinary folks just like you and me who've taken extraordinary leaps of faith in the direction of their

path, their purpose, or what they've identified as their mission in life, and in doing

so they've been able to positively impact and inspire the lives of many other people who've either heard about their story or who've witnessed them in action or people who've directly benefited from their work.

The goal of the podcast is to expose you to as many people as possible who found their path

and to humanize their story.

And after hearing story after story hopefully

eventually you give yourself permission to move further in the direction

of whatever feels like your path and purpose because what you'll see is that anyone who does that has to overcome many of the same

obstacles that you might be facing right now. And this week I am in conversation with Laura Del Valle and her daughter Angelica.

I met Laura and Angelica back in 2018 when I hosted one of my meditation retreats at their beautiful retreat center in Nairit, Mexico called Marde-Ade.
