BEST OF: 

Actress Emmanuelle Chriqui joins us for an equally fun and deep conversation about Hollywood, and more importantly spirituality.

In this episode, Asher and Emmanuelle talk about the importance of Shabbat (the Jewish Sabbath), the death of her mother and father, the experience of ayahuasca, her current relationship, and her new show, Superman & Louis on CW.
