The sudden loss of a close friend can send shockwaves through the heart. Under the veil of anonymity, I recount the life and untimely demise of a person who was not merely a confidant but an inspirational force in my existence. Through this raw and candid narrative, we navigate the complex waters of human connections and the unpredictable nature of life, where joyous beginnings can lead to tragic ends.

From the genesis of our friendship born in the shadow of one another's memorial to the business ventures that intertwined our lives, the tale takes several harrowing turns. The absence of my friend on my wedding day hinted at a darker story, one that would unravel over a fateful phone call during my honeymoon. What follows is a sequence of events involving justice sought, lives upended, and a community in upheaval. This recount is not simply a memorialization; it's also a reflection on loyalty, the pursuit of justice, and the profound impact of those we cherish.

I have always been in love with stories and the art of storytelling.  Like many people though, I was never able to incorporate that love into my career path; until recently, when storytelling evolved from a natural flair to the cornerstone of my career. Venturing through the lush landscapes of Bali, I discovered that breaking away from my comfort zone could reignite inspiration in unimaginable ways.   My personal struggles would ultimately become a source of strength and inspiration to others.  Witnessing the effect that my story would have on other people would ultimately help me find purpose within the art of storytelling. 

The darker chapters of my life would lead to the most significant healings. In this episode I get candid about overcoming childhood trauma, reshaping my social identity, and my battle with Crohn's disease, laying bare my shift towards holistic practices over conventional medication. I get honest about my feelings toward the western approach to "medicine", the negative effects that it had on my health, and my discovery that healing occurs more from lifestyle changes than from medicine. As we conclude with the transformative power of yoga and its role in personal growth, I share a piece of my soul with the recitation of "Almost Broken," a poem that mirrors the resilience within us all. Join me in this intimate exploration of self-discovery and the extraordinary impact of aligning with our true calling.

As your host, Chris Kusznir, I invite you to embark on a voyage to the heart of Bali's mystical traditions and the depths of personal resilience. Picture the electrifying atmosphere of Bali's Melasti holiday, where I felt the surge of spiritual energy during a purification ceremony that sets the stage for Nyepi, the day of silence and reflection. I share not just the historical echoes of the island's past, but also the stormy ride home that paralleled the inner transformation I experienced. In these moments, I ponder the intricate dance of religion and spirituality in our lives, challenging narrow perspectives and opening a window to my own spiritual quests and questions.

This episode is a tapestry of stories, interweaving the threads of embracing a multi-faith perspective and recognizing the unseen strength behind closed doors. I recount an encounter with Lord Ganesha that reshaped my approach to life's hurdles, advocating for a harmony of beliefs and the beauty in the sincerity of every ideology. Join me as I peel back the layers of resilience that many of us maintain, revealing the silent battles we wage privately while standing as beacons of inspiration for others. This is an exploration of the power of mutual respect and the relentless commitment to uplift others in the face of adversity.
