YOUniversal Healing: Recent Episodes
Priscila Khan
Do you wonder how you're supposed to find out who you are? We want to guide you through a lighthearted path of learning more about yourself and throwing out the idea that in order to be happy and successful you have to work harder. We will explore how to implement individuality when managing stress, how to get more in tune physically, mentally, and spiritually with your body, and more. We'll talk about anything and everything that will put you more in tune with your own truth and body. Whether you're in college or retired, we'll help you figure out just what that is and how to follow it.
