Breaking Free: Addiction, Identity & the Path to Spiritual Awakening with Eshwar Segobind
In this episode, we dive deep into the life and transformative journey of Eshwar, a good friend of mine who struggled with addiction, and ultimately experienced a profound spiritual awakening.
His story isn’t just about survival—it’s about transformation, surrender, and seeing beyond the mind.
We talk about:
🔥 The comfort of the known vs. the courage to let go
🔥 The dark night of the soul and the journey beyond addiction
🔥 The illusions of identity and the surrender into truth
🔥 The role of anger, resentment, and self-compassion in awakening
🔥 Why the unknown is where true freedom lies
If you’re feeling stuck, struggling, or searching for deeper meaning, this conversation is for you.
