This week I sit down with Author, Life Coach, and Actor Dr. Dravon James about her life's work--helping people cultivate self-awareness and building happiness from the inside out. Dr. James discusses the meaning of personal freedom and how freedom isn't free but comes with a price of sacrifice, boundaries, self-belief and self-discovery. She also shares the wisdom of being an everyday alchemist, explaining how we turn our words and stories into something else even if we we aren't conscious when we do this. Dr. James ends on defining happiness as the alignment between our thoughts and feelings, and how we can live into this alignment everyday.    To find out more about Dr. Dravon James, head over to her website https://drdravonjames.com/ and make sure to follow her on social media channels by searching for @drdravonjames   You can watch this full interivew over on our YouTube Channel.
