He reflects on how difficult it was to adapt back to everyday life in Los Angeles after his monastic experience, where he learned that not everyone has time for a preachy spiritual approach. Pedram explains how he shifted his methods to meet people where they are, while keeping his own spiritual practices balanced with family life and responsibilities. If you're feeling lost in life or searching for balance, you won’t want to miss this episode.
