In this special episode of More Than That, we tune into our bodies and minds with a very special guest who joined Gia on Episode #2 of our Limited TV Series, Devi Brown. Join Devi and Gia as they go through a 10-minute meditation and silently ask themselves many questions, such as "Who am I?". We hope you can take this moment for yourself to check in, heal, and hope for whatever you desire. Whatever it is, we know you deserve so much more than that.
