In this episode, Pam explores the difference between endlessly seeking knowledge and truly living what we know. She shares a personal story of 25 years of spiritual seeking, the moment she chose to set aside the textbooks, and the freedom that comes from listening inwardly.

Drawing on the ancient yogic story of the sage Bharadvāja—who spent three lifetimes memorizing sacred texts only to be told he’d gathered just a handful of true wisdom—Pam reminds us that collecting knowledge is only the first step. The real transformation happens when we act on what we already know, trust ourselves, and live from an in-formed place.

If you’ve ever felt stuck in overthinking, waiting for permission, or searching for the “right” answer from experts, this episode is an invitation to pause the seeking, tune in to your own knowing, and choose new action.
