About this episode

Do you wish to lead a life where both your voice and vision for the future can be realised? Joining Sarah Grynberg is American psychiatrist, spiritual teacher and author, Dr. Mark Epstein. In this inspirational conversation, Sarah and Mark discuss his journey for personal meaning beyond the ego; his never ending quest to seamlessly blend both Western Medicine and Eastern philosophies together for the wellbeing of others;  and his mission to lift the stigma surrounding antidepressant medications. If you are ready to think beyond the boundaries of traditional medicine, and seek the courage to weave the freedom of the spiritual into your own mental health journey, then this enriching episode and Mark's wisdom will not only teach you how to live blissfully between the good and the messy moments, but also – how to ride the ups and downs of life in all its facets; unapologetically.
