What if your spiritual practice wasn’t about escape or perfection — but about learning to be deeply human?
In this rich and soulful conversation, Keri sits down with David Harshada Wagner — meditation teacher, artist, father, and yogic philosopher — to explore how devotion, discipline, and pleasure all weave together into a life of meaning.
They talk about Harshada's journey from addiction recovery to spiritual teacher, the “God-sized hole” so many try to fill, and how to build a practice that feels nourishing instead of performative.
From morning gym rituals to chanting, marriage and parenting, this is a conversation about the sacred that hides in plain sight.
Because the real path isn’t somewhere far away —
it’s right here, in your body, your breath, your ordinary day.
