Summary

“Pursue what’s in your heart and the universe will conspire to support you.“ Rich Roll Twenty years ago I was a hope to die alcoholic — lost and alone. Despite achieving sobriety, ten years ago I remained lost — overweight, depressed and utterly rudderless. Five years ago this week, I published a book about how I found my way out. A spiritual journey that entailed extreme faith and relentless persistence called Finding Ultra*. Today I celebrate the journey of my rebirth — and pause to honor this five year landmark — by taking a look back. Because the growth I have been blessed to experience isn't mine to covet. It's a choice available to all. So today, Julie asks the questions. And I answer them. I sincerely hope you enjoy the exchange. Peace + Plants, Rich Hosted on Acast.

0:49.0	with your highest self and getting clarity on who and what that highest self is.
