In this episode, Andrea welcomes Dr. Dawson Church, acclaimed researcher, bestselling author, and spiritual thought leader, to explore the transformative power of Spiritual Intelligence. Dawson reveals groundbreaking neuroscience showing that connecting with higher consciousness isn't random or mystical; it's a trainable, biological process that literally reshapes our brains in just 30 days. Together, Andrea and Dawson dive deep into how meditation, energy work, and conscious living activate brain circuits responsible for joy, compassion, and resilience. Discover how individual spiritual growth is accelerating global evolution, why compassion is on the rise, and why now is the most hopeful time in human history. This conversation will expand your heart, your mind, and your spirit.
