Why We Secretly Cling to Our Suffering (And How to Finally Let It Go) with Sadhvi Bhagawati Saraswati

What if your greatest freedom comes not from achieving more, but from letting go of the stories that hold you back? What if purpose, peace, and enlightenment are waiting for you not at some mystical place or after performing a flamboyant ritual, but right where you are—within?

In today’s transformative episode of Living in the Miracle Zone, spiritual guide and best-selling author Sadhvi Bhagawati Saraswati joins Marci for a heartfelt conversation about awakening, surrendering, and returning to our truest selves. Through exquisite storytelling, soul-level wisdom, and loving clarity, Sadhvi reveals the path to genuine transformation, teaching us that true healing begins only after “we are done” with our pain, and purpose arises when we stop seeking it outside of ourselves.

Sadhvi is a renowned spiritual leader, best-selling author, and motivational speaker based in Rishikesh, India. Originally from Los Angeles, she holds a PhD in Psychology and is a graduate of Stanford University. After a transformative experience at the sacred Ganga River, she renounced her American life and was ordained into the sacred order of Sanyas by her guru, HH Pujya Swami Chidanand Saraswatiji.
