In this inspiring episode of The Divine Download, I sit down with Steve Schwartz—CEO of Art of Tea, master blender, and soulful entrepreneur whose journey from personal loss to global impact is nothing short of extraordinary.

We talk about how a moment of grief led him to Ayurveda, how he built a tea empire rooted in intention, and what it means to infuse purpose into every part of your work. Steve shares how rituals can be a path to healing, the divine downloads that guided his biggest business decisions, and why trusting timing is everything.

Whether you're a tea lover, a founder, or someone navigating your own awakening—this conversation will move you, ground you, and spark something new within.

In this special episode of The Divine Download, I'm sharing my recent talk on Manifestation lessons from Passover — because this ancient story isn't just about history; it's about your soul's journey to freedom today.

We dive deep into how the themes of exile, resistance, and liberation mirror the inner work of manifesting a life aligned with purpose. You'll learn how the Israelites’ journey out of Egypt holds powerful truths about shedding limiting beliefs, trusting divine timing, and stepping into your promised land (even when it looks nothing like what you expected).

This is for anyone who's ever felt stuck, scared to leap, or unsure if their vision is too much. Spoiler alert: it’s not.

Tune in for a soulful blend of spiritual insight, mindset coaching, and modern magic woven through ancient wisdom.

This episode takes you on a corporate keynote Rona recently delivered to a group of CEO's in the financial sector.

In this powerful keynote, Rona shares a transformative journey of manifestation, persistence, and surrender. After spending two years chasing a dream interview with an influential speaker, she faced repeated rejection. Despite her strong belief in the law of attraction, the opportunity slipped through her fingers—until she learned the power of releasing attachment to the outcome. Through surrender, Rona discovered that manifesting isn’t about force or control, but about alignment with higher vibrations. When she let go of the “how” and focused on her inner energy, the universe delivered her dream effortlessly, in a way she never imagined. This talk explores the delicate balance between desire and detachment, proving that when you trust the process, everything aligns in your favor.

The Four Pillars of Manifestation:

Thoughts Create Feelings – Your mindset shapes your emotions.
Feelings Create Vibrations – The energy you emit determines your attraction.
Vibrations Create Your Point of Attraction – Your frequency dictates what you attract.
Your Point of Attraction Creates Your Reality – What you focus on becomes your life.

Final Summary:
Rona’s keynote reveals that true manifestation comes from surrendering to the unknown while maintaining a high vibrational energy. Letting go of the need to control every detail allows the universe to work in ways beyond our imagination. By focusing on the “why” instead of the “how,” aligning with purpose, and trusting in divine timing, we can effortlessly attract our deepest desires.
