Mark Nepo on Becoming Intimate with the Unknown and Awakening to a New World (ENCORE EPISODE)

Welcome back to the IGNITE Your Dream Podcast! This week's encore episode probably won't come as a surprise to any of you... I'm re-sharing one of my favorite conversations with beloved author, poet, friend and mentor, Mark Nepo.  Mark and I had this conversation in mid-2020, during the height of the pandemic when the world was going more than a little stir crazy. I thought it would be powerful to go back and re-listen to the wisdom shared with new eyes and an even softer heart.  With over a million copies sold, Mark Nepo has moved and inspired readers and seekers all over the world with his #1 New York Times bestseller The Book of Awakening.  Beloved as a poet, teacher, and storyteller, Mark has been called "one of the finest spiritual guides of our time," "a consummate storyteller," and "an eloquent spiritual teacher." His work is widely accessible and used by many and his books have been translated into more than twenty languages.  A bestselling author, he has published twenty-two books and recorded fifteen audio projects.  In 2015, he was given a Life-Achievement Award by AgeNation.  In 2016, he was named by Watkins: Mind Body Spirit as one of the 100 Most Spiritually Influential Living People, and was also chosen as one of OWN's SuperSoul 100, a group of inspired leaders using their gifts and voices to elevate humanity.  Mark and I went straight for the good stuff during this conversation to talk about what it means to BE during this global pandemic, his new book, Book of Soul: 52 Paths to Living What Matters, and how our habit of distraction can keep up from living our lives to their fullest expression.    Links Mentioned:  Learn more about Mark by following him on Instagram: @mark_nepo Learn more about my signature program IGNITE Your Business  Book your Breakthrough Call today!  Tag me in your big shifts + takeaways: @amberlilyestrom Did you hear something you loved here today?!
