In the intricate tapestry of relationships, the threads that bind us often stem from our unique needs and experiences. Recognizing our unique relationship needs, and what makes someone feel safe or loved, lays the foundation for real connection that lasts.

Karma is viewed as a fundamental principle in the spiritual world, suggesting that everything we do, say, and even think generates consequences that eventually come back to us, whether in this life or in the future.
My guests, Lama Lhanang Rinpoche and Mordy Levine, believe that karma influences not only our individual situations but also the broader social landscape. They are here to share their insights on its impact and to suggest a constructive way to move forward.
Lama Lhanang Rinpoche was born in the Amdo region of historic Tibet and received a traditional monastic education and later studied under several respected Tibetan lamas. Today, he teaches Vajrayana Buddhism at the Jigme Lingpa Center in San Diego, California. Mordy Levine is an entrepreneur, meditation teacher, and the president of the Jigme Lingpa Center. He also created the Meditation Pro Series, a meditation program designed to alleviate chronic health issues.
In this discussion, Lama and Mordy demonstrate the principles of karma in everyday life and suggest ways to cultivate positive karma. They draw from the Buddhist perspective, highlighting how it fosters compassion, joy, and inner peace amidst the uncertainties of life.

We live in a world that praises action and constant progress. It’s easy to feel like we must always be doing something, chasing the next goal, or staying busy just to keep up.
But sometimes the real growth happens when we stop, take a breath, and let things unfold at their own pace. Pressing pause doesn’t mean giving up. Waiting can give us room to see things more clearly, sort our thoughts, and recharge.
In this episode, you’ll learn the power of inaction, and how these quiet moments can change everything, helping us grow in ways nonstop action never could. The gift of stillness might be the key to your next breakthrough.

The term Bushido literally means the way of a warrior. It’s been used in Japan since the 9th century when samurai soldiers bravely served their lords.
Today, Bushido is seen as a collection of ideals that lead to fidelity to one’s values and self-improvement. My guest, Yoichi Utebi, believes that Bushido can serve us well in dealing with our personal and collective challenges.
Yoichi Utebi is a movie producer and lecturer. Born in Japan, Yoichi grew up in Lebanon and the U.S. and where he was exposed to multiple cultures and ethnicities. After 12 years of experience in marketing and management in IT companies, Yoichi decided to join Happy Science, a spiritual movement in Japan, as a minister and lecturer, and produce movies.
During our conversation, Yoichi talks about the Samurai’s bushido code of conduct and ideals and how we can apply it in our lives. Bushido is showcased in his new movie “The Cherry Bushido” a film about a young devotee and group of friends who unite to protect Japan from the threat of extinction by its neighboring country.

Friday May 23, 2025
In a world that grows increasingly interconnected, cultural awareness emerges as a powerful catalyst for personal growth and transformation. Cultural awareness isn’t just about travel or learning new customs.
It’s about noticing the small things—how families share meals, how friends greet each other, how people express joy and grief. Personal growth happens when we allow these new perspectives into our lives. By doing so, we grow more open, patient, and curious.
This kind of awareness starts with a choice to look a little closer at the stories around us. In this episode, we'll show you how to achieve that.

We are currently in an era that celebrates self-expression. Whether online or in person, we are encouraged to share our thoughts and emotions. Unlike previous generations, we now have the freedom to openly express how we feel.
While there are numerous advantages to sharing our emotions with others, overdoing it can have its drawbacks.
That's why it's essential to strike a balance between emotional control and expressiveness. This balance, tailored to our personal preferences and the context we find ourselves in, is key to navigating the world of emotional expression with confidence and reassurance.
To delve deeper into this subject, I have invited Sahar Milani, an Experiential Brand Specialist and Host of the Mindful Makers Podcast and Laura Roche, an MC, podcaster and mindfulness and self-compassion expert, to join me for an in-depth discussion.
Sahar Milani is the founder and Experiential Director of Sorshaa, a global brand strategist with a passion for human connection, storytelling, and wellbeing. With over 20 years of experience in mindfulness and a career spanning Europe, MENA, and Southeast Asia, she helps brands communicate with clarity and purpose to create meaningful impact. Sahar is also the host of Mindful Makers, a podcast spotlighting individuals and brands making a positive difference, recognized as one of the top 8 female-led MENA podcasts by SheerLuxe Middle East. Her work sits at the intersection of curiosity, creativity, and conscious communication.
Laura Roche was born and raised in Spain and holds a bachelor's degree in Social Pedagogy and a Master's in Mindfulness for Conscious Organizations from the University of Barcelona. She's also a mindfulness and self-compassion teacher from the University of San Diego, California. She spent hundreds of hours on retreats and even lived for short periods at a Buddhist temple. Having lived and worked on four continents, she has garnered valuable knowledge and experience in dealing with a multitude of people and cultures, always learning and opening herself up to new experiences.
In this interview, we examine the various aspects of emotional expression, weighing its advantages and disadvantages. More importantly, we share practical strategies for achieving a healthy balance.

Why Seeing Life as Cyclical, Not Linear, Sets You Free
Friday May 16, 2025
Friday May 16, 2025
Life often feels like a straight line, with milestones marking our progress from point A to B. But what if we shifted that perspective?
Embracing the cyclical nature of life allows us to recognize that our journeys are not linear but circular, encompassing growth, renewal, and the beauty of coming back to ourselves. As seasons change and tides ebb and flow, so too do our experiences, emotions, and aspirations.
In this episode, we'll delve into how this transformative perspective alleviates the pressures of linear progression and fosters resilience and a deeper connection to our authentic selves.
