So many of us undervalue our own experience and overlook the wisdom that can support us daily. These habits of self-sabotage knock the wind out of our sails and keep us searching and grasping for what we have already realized.

One way to overcome this is to see life as a unique epic journey and become aware of the transformation we experience through its peaks and valleys.

To help us find inspiration, I invited Amy Edelstein.

Amy Edelstein is the author of six books, including the award-winning The Conscious Classroom. Founder of the non-profit Inner Strength Education and recipient of a Philadelphia Social Innovator's award, Amy's work has empowered 17,000 teens in under-resourced schools with mindfulness and systems thinking.

During our conversation, Amy shared what she learned during an epic journey she took in 1983 to the remote western corner of the Tibetan Plateau in Zanskar, India. She also offers ideas on how to view our own lives as journeys so that we feel empowered and immersed in the richness of everyday living.
