70. Rooftops, Revolutions, and Remembering: An Intimate Interview with Mitra

Do you keep waiting for life to slow down before honoring that pull toward something deeper within you?

In this episode, Ben turns the mic on Mitra and traces the real story behind her wisdom—from a childhood spent talking to God on rooftops in Iran to rebuilding her life as a single mother in a country where she knew no one. She opens up about what motherhood actually taught her about unity, why she stayed in a marriage for 11 years before finding the courage to leave, and what conscious partnership looks like when you stop chasing "perfect." This is a raw, intimate conversation about holding your spiritual hunger and your real-world responsibilities in the same hand.

What You’ll Learn: 

• Why the life you're building might be keeping you from the life you're building it for.

• A simple inner reframe that changes how you relate to overwhelm when it hits.

• What Mitra learned about the difference between the love that hooks you and the love that actually lasts.

If you’re someone who ….

• keeps putting your inner life on hold until things settle down

• is questioning whether your relationship has the depth to grow with you

• senses the beliefs driving your life were inherited, not chosen

…then you’ll want to be sure to listen in on this episode. Enjoy!
