Listen Later

Have you ever faced something so dark, so overwhelming, that you were sure there was no coming back?Khalil Rafati knows exactly what that feels like. Once homeless, addicted to heroin, and certain his life was beyond repair, Khalil found a way to rebuild — not just to survive, but to create something extraordinary.Today, he’s the founder of SunLife Organics, a bestselling author, and a living example that no situation is truly hopeless.In this powerful episode, Khalil, author of I Forgot to Die, takes us through his journey from rock bottom to a life of deep purpose. He shares the raw truth of addiction and recovery, the unlikely opportunities that opened up when he dared to be unapologetically himself, and the spiritual and practical steps that helped him heal.We dive into:- The exact moment he decided to fight for his life — and what surrender had to do with it- How serving others became the most fulfilling “business plan” he could imagine- The unconventional wellness practices he swears by, from supplements to somatic healing- Lessons from meeting and working with incredible mentors (and how those connections came from simply showing up as himself)- The role of inner child work in releasing deep trauma- Why vision boards, when paired with action, can be a powerful tool for transformation- This conversation is real, unfiltered, and filled with hope. Whether you’ve faced your own rock bottom or just need a reminder that change is always possible, Khalil’s story will stay with you long after the episode ends.Resources:•‘I Forgot to Die’ by Khalil Rafati: https://amzn.to/4mX2duK •Join our community of amazing women reconnecting with ourselves through books and sisterhood: https://beehive.drmelissasonners.com/book-nook
