This week, Ash is joined by Frank Elaridi, certified energy worker and former journalist, for a powerful conversation on healing, spiritual awareness, and finding peace in the present moment. After experiencing burnout in his journalism career, Frank turned inward and reconnected with his soul, leading him into the self-development and energy healing space. He shares how the mind can be both a tool for growth and a source of suffering, and how practices like breathwork foster resilience, clarity, and inner calm.

They dive into the deeper truths of manifesting, the role of karma in shaping both comfort and struggle, and the courage it takes to choose peace amidst fear, stress, and ambition. The conversation also highlights the importance of attachment, detachment, and discerning intuition from fleeting feelings.
