•It represents cosmic balance, natural law, and ancestral continuity, guiding how people live in harmony with nature and unseen forces.

Appreciate your sharing that. Let’s talk about your life, growing up and some of topics and learnings around that. What did you believe about yourself as a child that you no longer believe?
I believed and still believing that we are in charge of our karma. Karma is an action. Whatever we do, that what we get back.

What have been the defining wounds of your life—and how have you healed them?
Loosing close people always is a strong challenge. But knowing that everything is impermanent makes things easier. Meditation is a healing. Exercises is healing.

So a lot of these questions go deep, but if you are open to it, we’ve got a few more questions that we’d love to get your take on. Is the public version of you the real you?
Trying to be real, but we have to adjust to the circumstances. Not perfect but real enough.

Okay, so let’s keep going with one more question that means a lot to us: If you knew you had 10 years left, what would you stop doing immediately?
Waist my time.
