      <itunes:summary>Episode 5 is here! This time featuring my wonderful girlfriend Chelsea.  Her perspectives and raw authenticity seem especially geared towards navigating through times of deep uncertainty.

In addition to the standard questions, we discuss: Uncovering your purpose.  Spiritual awakenings. What it’s like to travel inward towards your pain instead of away from it. How to get back on your feet after having fallen into the pits of depression. Your sense of self-worth and identity.  Feeling aligned with your purpose.  Trusting yourself.  Trusting a higher power.  Expanding.  Finding your internal abundance.  Dealing with avoidance, frustration, and finding gratitude.

Since filming this, Chelsea has moved on from her Marketing positions to start her own body-mind coaching business!  You can find out more at https://www.chelseamarie.com/

At 24 years old, Chelsea has achieved a considerable amount along traditional dimensions despite a challenging upbringing.  She exemplifies what a commitment to conscientiousness can bring to life – at the time of filming she was a Creative Director for 2 wellness-oriented companies, and produces her own Podcast on holistic wellness and Ayurveda.  We discuss in detail the rollercoaster of her life, making sure to pull out the details of how family trauma impacted her, and depression after shedding her Silicon Valley Unicorn “golden handcuffs” were like for her, making sure to highlight practical methods to assist others in moving through similar situations.

As always, we ask our audience to check in with how well this guest resonates with you.  Resonance may be a sign that your path and purpose is along the same lines as our guest’s.  Thank you and if you enjoy this episode please leave a rating or review!

      <itunes:summary>At 35 years old, Salman Hatta has seen a thing or two.  The child of 2 immigrants, he worked his way into Wharton through great diligence, and ended up working as a banker before the crash in 2008.  Suspecting he was living someone else’s life, and not his own, Salman decided to seek greener pastures in the Silicon Valley tech world where he quickly learned that his place was not there either.  Salman performed a leap of faith, leaving Silicon Valley to become a digital nomad before joining an organization called OneHeart that focuses on bringing plant healing to what I like to call “recovering Type-A’s.”
