We have a live studio audience joining us to discuss Emilio's pursuit of enlightenment, his journey of inner transformation, and how he realized that traditional versions of success don't necessarily lead to genuine fulfillment.  Throughout the episode, Emilio graciously opens up about his upbringing and how it shaped his insecurities, making it difficult for him to connect with his emotions. He also offers his insights on the power of embracing discomfort and developing a relationship with higher consciousness. Emilio challenges the familiar narratives of success and spirituality and encourages you to embrace your humanity and live authentically. This episode is a beautiful invitation to be present in every moment and to cherish life with gratitude and love!  IN THIS EPISODE: (5:37) Why Emilio came to the Manifestival Podcast (6:09) How Emilio's upbringing shaped his insecurities perspectives on success (10:12) The challenges of understanding what drives your connection to higher consciousness  (14:29) What inspired Emilio to write his book  (17:08) Emilio’s reflections on his dark nights of the soul and how he overcame them (25:23) Manifesting with a prioritization on inner awareness and aliveness  CONNECT WITH EMILIO Follow Emilio: @ediezbarroso  Connect with Emilio on LinkedIn  Buy his book The Mystery of You
