This episode is brought to you by Birch Living Mattress and Lifeforce.  In a world where countless individuals are dealing with depression, disconnection, and suffering, it's essential to pause and introspect: What robs us of our joy and happiness, and how can we have the courage to let go of the things that no longer serve us?  Today on The Dhru Purohit Podcast, Dhru sits down with Richard Williams, better known by his stage name Prince Ea, to discuss the power of stillness and being to get clear on your purpose and how action, service, and taking pause can help you step into a life that brings you the most joy and happiness.  Dhru and Prince Ea also share how their spirituality helped them connect to their gut instinct and pivot to lead a life of fulfillment. They also share their personal journeys of awakening and the stories, teachers, and reminders that continue to guide them along the way. Prince EA is a spoken word artist, international keynote speaker, and civil rights activist from St Louis, Missouri. He is the host of the newly launched podcast Sauna Sessions and has accumulated over 1 billion views on Facebook alone and even more on a combination of other platforms.
