About this episode
Today we are joined by spiritual teacher and highly attuned empathic healer, Matt Kahn, to discuss the nuances of spiritual awakening and moving from the head to the heart. Matt explains this journey of becoming our truest selves as one where we must learn to balance the mind and the heart, navigating the fallbacks of ego as we move forward on our spiritual path. He provides a very useful framework for how to move through this with grace and in turn unlock a higher state of being.
