Summary
In this episode, Melissa sits down with Khalil Rafati, founder of Sunlife Organics and author of the transformative book “I Forgot To Die” which, as Melissa describes, ‘will crack you right open.’ Melissa was eager to have Khalil on ever since she had an inspiring conversation and was generously gifted his book in Austin, TX, by the manager of Sunlife Organics. Khalil’s powerful energy and vibration emanate throughout this entire conversation. Growing up in Ohio with an abusive father, Khalil started drinking, shoplifting, and getting into fights by age 12. His life spiraled further when he moved to LA, becoming homeless and addicted to drugs and alcohol. Discover how Khalil found the wellness world, got clean, and opened Sunlife Organics—the most delicious juice and smoothie bar, renowned for its top-quality sourcing and ingredients. Beyond his business, Khalil has helped countless individuals achieve sobriety through his story and the recovery center he founded. For anyone who has lost faith in any part of their lives, Khalil’s story is a beacon of hope to keep moving forward.
