Hey there, it's Rohan. Have you ever felt stuck? Like you'd really like to make a change in your career

And one of the things that comes up a lot is the interest in exploring the episode themes more

deeply. I told the team I'm well up for trying this, and we'd love to know what you think.

After you listen, email us at helloatmeditativestory.com and tell us if this test works for you.

I'll remind you of that email at the end of the episode.

One of the reasons I love being part of meditative story is that it can really help deepen our

understanding of ourselves. Think about it this way. Yes, we go into other people's stories,

but doing so holds a mirror up to our own lives and our own transformative experiences. And so,
