EP 288 - Dr. Lisa Miller:
Welcome back to the Pretty Intense Podcast. Today my special guest is the inspirational author Dr. Lisa Miller. We are talking about her new book "The Awakened Brain." We dive into how spirituality has been silenced for so many years that we have created a culture of extreme materialism, depression, anxiety, mental illness and suicide. We have let go of our ability to connect with the universe, and feel the comfort of a loving source. That love has not gone anywhere, we have just stopped tapping into it. Join us as we uncover the science behind thought-sharing, revealing our hidden potential to communicate beyond limits. Discover how our thoughts might transcend space and time—unlocking new realms of communication and connection. Discover how our brains are wired for connection and purpose, and learn to harness these incredible capabilities to transform your life. Don't just survive—THRIVE! Are you ready to awaken? We hope you enjoy today’s episode.
