Blake D. Bauer, international bestselling author of You Were Not Born To Suffer, is a world-renowned teacher and speaker with a background in psychology, traditional healing, alternative medicine, nutrition, and mindfulness meditation. In this conversation, he shares wisdom from his journey and offers practical insights on moving beyond pain, shame, and self-neglect to reclaim a life rooted in self-love and self-respect.
