Alive Loren Podcast: Celebrating soulful conscious living

Context: In January 2018 I committed to a 40 day fast and to write a post daily documenting the experience. Here on the Alive Loren podcast, you can find this series read aloud as an audio 'blog' book. You can easily identify these episodes as they contain the word 'Day....' at the start. May this series inspire you to live more presently and connect to more magical moments.
