In this deep and luminous conversation, Scott Schwenk welcomes yoga nidra teacher, author, and spiritual guide Tracee Stanley for a heartfelt dialogue on what it means to grow—not by force, but by surrender. From samskaras (stored subtle energies that shape a person's personality, perspective and motivations) and sacred pauses to the profound practice of remembering, Tracee shares tools and stories to help us soften into life’s transitions and reawaken our innate worth. A conversation rich in wisdom, practice, and radical presence.
