Sadhvi Bhagawati Saraswati (Sadhviji) is one of the preeminent female spiritual leaders of our time and a renowned writer, speaker, and social activist. But few know how Sadhviji reached her spiritual awakening and found inner peace.

Born to an upper middle-class Jewish family and raised among the glitterati of Hollywood, the veneer of Sadhviji’s glamorous upbringing hid dark secrets about sexual abuse, depression, anxiety and bulimia. As expected of her, she excelled in her undergraduate studies at Stanford University and had worked most of her way through a Ph.D. program in psychology when, in the summer of 1996, her life unexpectedly changed forever.

Her husband insisted they travel to India so he could continue his spiritual studies and find his guru. Sadhviji, who was a non-seeker, reluctantly agreed as she loved Indian food. In Rishikesh, India, the first city they visited, she had an unexpected, powerful, transformative experience standing on the banks of the sacred Ganga river, an experience of the Divine which brought her to her knees in tears.

Although she thought she had come to India to please her husband and because she liked Indian food, it was Sadhviji’s destiny to find and walk this path to enlightenment.

She shares her fascinating story, detailing her time of learning, sacrifice, unbridled joy, deep challenges, ecstatic experiences, and peaceful contentment in India as well as her meaningful international work as a faith leader in the development sector, planting and nourishing seeds for peace, focusing on world health, water, sanitation and hygiene, and the rights and empowerment of women and girls.

With trauma can come eating disorders. Sexual assault victims often gain weight as a subconscious way of protecting themselves from future assaults.

On top of that, you have the SAD diet (Standard American Diet) being taught everywhere when in reality, the SAD diet is absolutely unhealthy. Add the price of healthy eating vs. processed foods into the mix and you have a recipe for disaster.

Sugar addiction has been said to be as hard to break (or harder) than drugs. Sugar is everywhere...and unless you are eating 110% clean, you'll come across it.

At one point in Melissa Rohlfs' motherhood journey, she was crabby, living off of sugar, exhausted, and 30 pounds heavier. Instead of processing through her feelings, she stuffed them with food

Little did she know that the very food deemed “healthy” that Melissa ate on a daily basis was working against her rather than for her. Once she removed those foods and learned about eating whole foods, everything changed.

Today Melissa offers help and hope to the mama who feels overwhelmed, stuck and wants freedom to enjoy life AND motherhood Happy. Healthy. Free.

Great love stories inspire us to seek passion in our own lives, to get in touch with our deepest core emotions, and make the world a little bit better.

This is a love story like no other – and one in which the love keeps coming long after his wife’s passing, through a special foundation set up to provide low-income women with advanced cancer the resources they need for their healing and recovery.

Michael was only six months into his unexpected love affair with his second wife, Margot, when he discovered a lump in her breast. For the next nine years she fought her cancer, armed with a fierce love for life. With Michael by her side through the good, the bad, and the worst, Margot showed her husband how to truly live. “I left behind all my doubts, fears, and guilt because I knew that what I wanted most was to live in color,” Margot told Michael.

Helping others is the focus of Michael’s life now. A visit with a single mom who also had stage 4 metastatic breast cancer inspired him to start the Love from Margot Foundation, which provides low-income women with advanced cancer the resources they need for their healing and recovery.

Amy Guerrero knows from experience that getting sober is only the first step in a journey towards healing.

She was pretending to be happy, thinking that the next meeting or the next therapy session would “fix” her and allow her to finally feel comfortable in her own skin, but it just wasn’t happening.

Amy got busy educating herself, training and working with people in somatic experiencing, attachment theory, and other trauma-informed modalities, and relating it to living a conscious sober lifestyle.

She turned her healing into her life’s work and now uses that education to coach people to feel more courage, hope and confidence in their sober life.

Wendy Tamis Robbins’ anxiety, obsessive-compulsive, and panic disorders started when she was a young child growing up in a volatile household. Anxiety controlled her life well into adulthood, to the point of agoraphobia.

Though she dabbled in treatment from time to time, it took many years and an unsuccessful marriage before she finally took hold of her mental health and, through introspection, meditation, re-parenting and self-administered exposure therapy, escaped from her self-inflicted prison.

Not only are we living in an era of particularly high anxiety, but according to the Anxiety and Depression Association of America, anxiety-related disorders are the most common mental illness in the United States, affecting more than 40 million adults aged 18 and older. And anxiety disorders also affect more than 25 percent of teenagers ages 13 to 18.

Wendy's story offers hope and inspiration to individuals trapped by anxiety disorders.

Tim Davis wasn't always an active, healthy person. He had an idyllic childhood...until his father died. He was blamed for his father's death and spiraled into the world of addiction and mental illness.

After several rehabs, Tim finally got sober, but then gained over 70 pounds in his first year of getting sober from drugs and alcohol. On Dec. 31st, 2008, he stepped on the scale and weighed over 250 lbs at only 5 ft, 8 inches tall - this was almost all excess fat and not muscle.

When Tim's doctor told him that he was pre-diabetic and might not make it to 50 years old at the rate he was going...that was his wake up call.

Tune in to hear Tim's incredible journey from childhood trauma to Ironman triathlete.
