We kick off nervous and end up in one of our boldest chats yet. Our guest, Pardis Mahdavi, has stared down traffickers, survived 33 days in detention, and spent 18 hours in a sealed shipping container with 31 women. She breaks down human trafficking, higher education, and resilience with honesty and sharp insight.

We dive into meditation, psychedelics for healing, and practical ways to build agency and make better choices.
