90. Unveiling Vulnerability: A Mother-Son Conversation on Cancer and Healing

In this heartfelt and deeply personal episode, Dr. Avanti is joined by her son, Zayn Singh, for a candid conversation about her cancer journey. Zayn, a counseling and psychology student, provides supportive insights from his perspective as they delve into the emotional aspects of Avanti's experience. They explore the concept of holding two emotions simultaneously, the manifestation of stuck emotions in the energy body, and Avanti's deep inquiry into emotions such as anger, gratitude, isolation, connection, shame, freedom, guilt, and relief.
