In this episode, I welcome Billy Wynne, author of The Empty Path, to explore how Zen Buddhism’s "art of lessening" cultivates radical presence—even amid global suffering. Billy shares his journey from alcoholism to sobriety through meditation, how forgiveness "softens edges" without demanding reconciliation, and why joy is our greatest spiritual activism. We dive into masculine spirituality, the neuroscience of alcohol, and practical meditations to access ORIC-field radiance or grounded safety. Your angels guided you here: if you’re craving deeper peace or partnership alignment, join my Sacred Women’s Circles or Couples Retreat (theangelmedium.com). Embrace your wholeness now.

0:06.4	right now. Yes, right now. They've guided you here because they want you to feel their presence,
0:14.0	their love, and their unwavering support of you. They're reminding you today of this truth. You are ready. You're ready for
0:25.1	joy. You're ready for deeper connection. You're ready to receive everything that you've been
