How about we have a conversation with one of the most spiritually influential living people on earth? Yes, you heard that right! 

Today's guest was bestowed with this honor by Watkins MindBodySpirit, and if that's not impressive enough, AgeNation awarded him a Life Achievement Award. Today, we have the incredible privilege of sitting down with a true luminary in the world of spirituality, health, and resilience. His name is Mark Nepo, and he's not just an authority on spiritual matters and poetry; he's a living testament to the power of the human spirit.

Mark is no stranger to adversity; he's a cancer survivor who has weathered life's storms and authored dozens of books, including The Book of Awakening and Surviving Storms: Finding the Strength to Meet Adversity. In essence, he's a true badass in resilience, and we're here to delve into the fusion of science, health, and spirituality with a master of all these realms.

Mark's new book, Falling Down and Getting Up: Discovering Your Inner Resilience and Strength, is a profound exploration of how we can navigate life's challenges with acceptance and resilience. 

Throughout our conversation, we'll touch on the transformative impact of Mark's battle with cancer, the wisdom he's gleaned from our elders, the profound insights from indigenous healing traditions, and the incredible power of building resilience through pain. So, fasten your seatbelts, dear listeners, because this is a conversation that promises to touch your soul and leave you with valuable nuggets of wisdom for your own journey.
