In this reflective episode of Nourished with Dr. Anikó, Dr. Anikó shares a spontaneous message inspired by a yoga session and the powerful reminder that acceptance is at the root of joy. 

She explores the human tendency to resist discomfort and attempt to change external circumstances and offers a deeply compassionate perspective on how true healing often arises not from fixing, but from allowing.

Drawing from personal experience, clinical insight, and mindfulness-based practices, Dr. Anikó invites listeners to consider how they might cultivate resilience, not by controlling everything around them, but by creating inner stability and presence.

This episode is a gentle and empowering call to face everything and rise, with breath, stillness, presence, and courage.
