Comedian, Mike Finoia, joins Raghu to share his difficult patch with mental health and the tools that have helped him cultivate inner peace.

“I realized that there’s only two ways of operating: It’s either from a place of love or a place of fear. If you're operating from a place of fear, you really can’t be open to the love there is around us. But if you’re operating from a place of love, fear doesn’t stand a chance.” – Mike Finoia

Mike and Raghu go deep about:

Anxiety and finding the tools that work to manage it
Being vocal about the rough patches on Mike's public platform
Practices for changing our internal landscapes
Buddhist perspectives on anger, fear, good-enoughness, and emptiness
Having a sense of humor about our “self-cherishing”
"Mother recognition," or the essence of motherly compassion
“It takes way more courage to break through the constriction that we have in this society. And it takes courage to say, ‘I need some help.’” - Raghu Markus
