Cory Muscara is a former Monk, current author, and teacher whose meditations have been listened to over 25 million times in 150 countries in the world.

He's also taught Mindful leadership at Columbia University, and is an instructor of Positive Psychology at the University of Pennsylvania.

In this conversation we explore how to return to your true nature and access the wisdom that's already within you.

You'll learn practical tools for distinguishing between fear-based and soul-based decisions, why letting go paradoxically requires moving closer first, and how to build trust in your inner knowing through small daily choices.

His perspective on unwinding rather than adding offers fresh insights for this journey.
