On Sacred Harmony, hosted by Archita, this conversation with August Rivers gently reframes healing as something more than mindset work.
This episode is for anyone who’s done the therapy, read the books, and still feels something hasn’t shifted. You’ll explore how nutrition, nervous system patterns, and lived experiences intertwine—and why real healing begins when you stop overriding your body and start listening to it.
