The Calm & Free Podcast with Pooja Mottl
In a fast-moving, anxious world, the need to go inward has never been more urgent. This collection of deeply reflective conversations helps listeners cultivate the skills they need on the inside to find calm and freedom, no matter what’s happening on the outside.
What does a mentally healthy version of “success” look like? How do we define our self-worth? What self-awareness insights, time-honored wisdom and calming techniques can we utilize to better manage our emotions and egos, find inner peace, and perform at our very best?
Inspired by modern and ancient knowledge with a blend of science and spirituality from both East and West, this podcast features stories & voices of Olympic-level athletes, Fortune 500 executives, spiritual leaders, theologians, and entrepreneurs.
