How can one "accept God's will" vs. feeling like they've failed when it appears that the way they had envisioned their dreams for having a family hasn't yet panned out? Find out on today's Life Question of the Week. Next, Michael welcomes Sahdviji, a renowned spiritual leader and motivational speaker based in Rishikesh, India, and author of the bestselling memoir, Hollywood to the Himalayas: A Journey of Healing and Transformation. Sadhviji lives a life of deep service through her work with the Global Interfaith WASH Alliance which is dedicated to clean water, sanitation, and hygiene, and the Divine Shakti Foundation which runs free schools, vocational training programs, and empowerment programs, among her many other activities.
