In this powerful episode I sat down with Sasha Heussler, an entrepreneur, engineer, and author of "Light Up Your Darkness: Be the Hero of Your Own Story." Sasha’s story is one of personal transformation, from navigating deep depression to rediscovering joy and purpose. Together, we explored the themes from his book and the practices that helped him rebuild his identity and find fulfillment beyond external achievements.

Conversation Highlights:

• The fall and rediscovery of identity
• How Sascha's reliance on external validation set him to embark on a journey of inner exploration
• How he realised he has shift perspective and rewriting your story
• The Hero's Journey, inspired by Joseph Campbell
• He shared some tools for inner healing
• The power of Vippasana
• Sascha's spiritual journey - his experience in Peru
• Navigating setbacks with grace

Sascha reminds us that life's journey is never perfect—it’s a constant ebb and flow. The beauty lies in having the tools to navigate both highs and lows with grace, calmness, and self-compassion. As he shared, “When I thought I lost it all, I found myself.”

Thank you, Sascha, for your authenticity and for sharing your journey with us. If you, dear listener, are on your own path of self-discovery, know that you are not alone. We all walk this road together, learning and growing along the way.
