There are very few people with whom you can talk deep shit about life. Be it comparison, spirituality, yoga, meditation, social media, ego, jealousy or anything else, I think we have talked about most things (over a cup of coffee).
When I started this podcast, I always wanted to speak with people with different life approaches than mine. This particular episode is just the starting point for some of the topics we talk about in our offline world.
In this episode, you’ll hear how my first impression of this person was different from what it is now. Does she crave fame? Has she ever compared herself to others, and how is yoga helping to overcome it? & many other things.
This is just the first of the many episodes that I intend to record with this human. If you listen to this, ask her a question in the comments.
