The effects of COVID are undeniable. There has been real suffering. However, on the flipside, suffering can bring you closer to your life's purpose.

Have you found that you can no longer avoid dealing with the things you need to deal with? Has the pandemic led you to look at your true priorities?

In this episode, Forrest Rivers joins host Ian Lobas to discuss the importance of taking inventory every day to examine what gives you a sense of meaning and what is aligned with your higher purpose. In this process, you also assess the things that you can take out of your life that aren't moving you forward and you identify your goals.

In his new book ‘COVID 19 and Humanity's Spiritual Awakening’, Forrest explores the myriad ways in which the virus served to awaken the seeds of truth, wisdom and the acknowledgement of our common roots as one human family.
