Author and filmmaker Pria Acharya shares how a personal turning point shattered old, generational conditioning and opened her to a deeper truth. From discovering the hidden realities behind the dairy industry to the story of a calf who forever changed her heart, Pria invites us as spiritual journeyers to question what we’ve been taught, who we want to be, and how far our compassion extends. We explore how comforting myths distort truth, the grief that comes with awakening, the simplicity and holiness of the mother-baby connection, and the courage it takes to walk away from herd mentality. There’s no blame or shame here, only an invitation to look behind the curtain as we awaken together and walk each other home. ✍ Amazon Link to buy Pria Acharya's book : https://www.amazon.com/Go-Vegan-Mindfully-Barriers-Breakthroughs-ebook/dp/B0FMKPBRF1?ref_=ast_author_mpb  🎙️ Listen on Apple Podcasts & rate us to spread the light! - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-spiritual-forum/id1357984858   📍 Join our upcoming retreat at Unity Village: https://thespiritualforum.org/retreat   ❤️ Support this mission: https://thespiritualforum.org/   Bio - Pria Acharya, MBA, is a certified mindfulness teacher, filmmaker, narcissistic abuse recovery coach, storyteller, activist, gardener, and vegan cook.
