Join Julie Ryan and bestselling author, artist, and mystic Hans Wilhelm for an uplifting exploration of karma, reincarnation, and the spiritual forces that guide our lives. Inspired by a life-changing message from his late father, Hans shares how forgiveness, humor, and gratitude can transform pain into purpose and reconnect us with the divine spark within. Together, we dive into how thoughts shape energy, how technology influences the soul, and how guardian spirits help us grow through every challenge. With his signature clarity and joy, Hans reveals how simplicity, laughter, and love hold the keys to higher consciousness — and how embracing them can lead to true spiritual freedom.
