We explored areas in our lives that keep us enslaved to fear, doubt, and anxiety and thus imprisoned. And we unpacked the importance of putting in the work to heal broken areas in our life and thinking, so we can enter the Promise Land and thrive there.   Today, I’m moving this conversation into living a life of purpose that is fueled by passion. Like I mentioned last episode, the conditions around us will never be perfect OR perfectly clear to us. Often times, clarity comes IN THE MIDST OF THINGS. So, waiting on total clarity isn’t always the best option. I’ve broken this topic into a few sessions. This first one introduces the idea of living with purpose and passion and narrows in on the first of three areas that set us up to live and thrive in our purpose. I’ve been waiting for the chance to share my purpose living stories and experiences with you and am excited that we’ve finally arrived at this crossroad. If you’re ready to begin living the life you dreamed of and thrive with purpose and passion, what follows is for you. In this episode, we’ll Unpack what it means to seek and live with purpose. Gain a better understanding of the 3 stages that drive (or distract) our purpose. Hear about my own experience with thriving in purpose that is fueled by passion and focus. I put together this Restore Your Inner Warrior® series with power-packed tools that will help you strengthen your inner warrior and overcome the things holding you back from living your best life. If you’re ready to boldly step into a life with improved happiness and confidence, turn off those distractions running in the background, so you can supercharge your inner healing journey with this next episode.

If you’re ready to boldly step into a life with improved happiness and confidence, turn off those distractions running in the background, so you can supercharge your inner healing journey with this next episode. And welcome back to all my listeners already walking with me down this restoration path.  In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Raj Bothra, whose tell-all memoir I coauthored, and Prashant Shah, the movie producer and CEO of Bollywood Hollywood Production who’s producing the film version that releases summer 2026. It seems fitting to follow-up my forgiveness series with this intimate conversation about Raj’s incredible story from the time he was falsely arrested and imprisoned for 1301 days until his trial and unanimous 12-0 jury acquittal. As you will learn, Raj endured tremendous offense and torment from his own government and yet maintained his strength, peace, and confidence that the truth—his truth—would set him free. His inner warrior shined brightly in these otherwise dark spaces. His story is a testament to the power of fighting for justice while operating in a forgiveness mindset that holds no grudges. May his story of courage, perseverance, and unshakable faith inspire you. Find more about the book USA v Raj, which releases in a week, in the show notes below as well as more on the film. USA v Raj is a MUST READ, INSPIRING TRUE STORY now available in paperback with a motion picture by BOLLYWOOD HOLLYWOOD PRODUCTION coming summer 2026. This tell-all memoir dares to share the truth behind one of the biggest federal false arrest and imprisonment scandals of the decade. This is a story about federal government corruption and a broken judiciary that turns innocent people into convicted criminals with their unchecked power and weaponized obsession with winning at any cost. This is also an innocent man's story of gratitude, steadfast faith, and endurance to persevere until the end of a war waged against him. Imagine being an immigrant from India who worked hard and lived by integrity for 50 years to achieve his American dream. Then, imagine waking up one morning to an indictment that leads to a three-and-a-half-year period of unlawful detention and torture. The pages within retrace my journey to become a renowned surgeon, interventional pain specialist, and activist for just causes and my fight to survive my false arrest and 1301-day imprisonment, which led to a unanimous acquittal by a jury at trial. May you be encouraged as this story leads you through the many twists and turns of a grueling experience marked by trials, tribulations, and, ultimately, triumphs.

In previous episodes we talked about ways to heal our inner wilderness by confronting fear, doubt, and recalibrating how we navigate difficult situations. Today’s episode will peel back the layers on the perfectionism onion to dissect how and why it stinks up our life and contributes to those difficult situations. A few days ago, we talked about how to identify and deal with enemies in our camp—you know, those folks and triggers that keep us on our toes during interactions. What if I told you that we are sometimes the foe and one setting off triggers in our quest to have everything go perfectly or exactly as we want? Not only does this make things stink for us when things don’t go as planned. It stinks on one level or another for everyone involved. That’s right, perfectionism is a stinky onion that stings everyone’s eyes who comes in contact with it. It even makes us cry in frustration at times. Or walk away with unfinished business because we just can’t handle the sting or stench. But don’t give up hope.
