In this episode of Something to Say, I had the pleasure of sitting down with Andrew Ramer, also known as Eli - an award-winning author, mystic, sacred storyteller, meditation teacher, and co-author of the international bestseller Ask Your Angels.

Our conversation goes far beyond books and spirituality. Andrew shares the childhood memories that shaped him into a storyteller, the life experiences that strengthened his faith, and the lessons he's learned through decades of teaching, writing, and guiding others. We also discuss mindfulness, intuition, finding meaning in everyday life, and how being truly present can transform the way we see ourselves and the world around us.

Andrew offers thoughtful insights on healing, human connection, creativity, grief, and the importance of slowing down in a fast-paced world. Whether you're exploring spirituality, seeking personal growth, or simply looking for a meaningful conversation, I believe you'll find something in this episode that speaks to you.

Thank you for joining us on Something to Say. I hope Andrew's story and wisdom inspire you as much as they inspired me.
