In this episode, I sit down with Mitch Vickridge for a powerful and thought-provoking conversation about the work he does with his clients through the Demartini Method.
Together, we explore what it really means to live in alignment with your true values, not the fantasy versions we often chase, and how authenticity becomes the key to a more grounded and fulfilling life. We also dive into the practice of embracing gratitude, finding the balance between reward and pain, and how these principles can shift the way we see ourselves and the world around us.
The insights flowed so naturally that one episode just wasn’t enough, so this is part one of our chat, with part two coming next month. Be inspired.
