Summary

In this week’s episode of the Align Podcast, Khalil shares his experiences with addiction, abuse and his eventual journey to sobriety. He also dives into how the traumatic experiences in his life shaped him to be the person he is today. We talk about the meaning of intimacy, the power of therapy and the importance of healing our inner child. We also discuss the societal stigmas around crying, how the ego can negatively influence our decisions and whether the law of attraction actually exists.

At 33 years old, Khalil Rafati weighed 109 pounds and was living on the streets of Skid Row in downtown Los Angeles, addicted to heroin and cocaine. With nowhere to go but up, he decided to get sober. Then he discovered juicing. Now, Khalil Rafati is a speaker, author, and health & wellness entrepreneur. He is the owner of SunLife Organics, a rapidly growing chain of popular juice and smoothie bars in the United States. Additionally, he is the author of the best-selling book "I Forgot to Die" as well as his newest release "Remembering to Live." He also founded Malibu Beach Yoga and Riviera Recovery, a transitional living facility for drug addicts and alcoholics.
