This is My Years Through My Ears, a series about influential songs that have shaped influential lives. Each guest breaks down the soundtrack to their life story, picking the most personally impactful songs to represent each chapter along the way.

My name is Andres Tardio and this episode's guest is Devi Brown. She is the Chief Impact Officer at Chopra, the founder of Karma Bliss, the host of the Dropping Gems Podcast, a radio legend, a good friend, and a great mother.

She’s also an author, a seeker, a guide, a gem. Her story is an inspirational one, proving what can happen when you follow your heart and chase your passions with a purpose and precision, even when the road is hard, never giving up.
