Show Notes
Meet Darran Ingram — the man who first invited Lee to truly "feel" — after much resistance from her and gentle persuasion from him. Darran’s journey to the Amazon Rainforest, where he lived for ten days with the Shipibo people, taught him the power of stillness, listening, and receiving. In this episode, we explore how ancient wisdom can meet modern disconnection — and how humility and nature can awaken what we’ve long ignored within ourselves.
