Sam Morris: From Tragedy to Zen Mastery with Dr. Marcia Sirota
It's really a process of remembering, putting things back together and letting go of all of the perceptions and the stories of the past and the beliefs that they've taken on through childhood traumas and feeling the need to belong that type of thing, and reminding them of that none of that stuff is really necessary and that the second half of life can really be much more fulfilling than The First Half, because it can be more purposeful.
Imagine facing a life-altering accident and emerging stronger, wiser, and more centered. That's the story of Sam Morris, founder of Zen Warrior Training, who joins Dr. Marcia Sirota on 'Ruthless Compassion'. Sam shares his incredible journey from a devastating car accident that left him paraplegic to becoming a beacon of strength and wisdom for high performers and creatives around the globe.

In this conversation, he delves into overcoming addiction and trauma, emphasizing the importance of identifying and breaking free from limiting beliefs. He also talks about redefining success to include relaxation and purposeful living.
