Are chakras just a New Age myth—or is there real wisdom behind the energy centers? In this episode, I unpack the skepticism around chakras—and why it's totally valid.

When we stop outsourcing our power, reclaim it, and start generating power from within, we can fully feel our relationship to the world around us and transform our dreams into reality.
