30. Living the Both/And: Embracing Paradox with Prashanthi Amarnath

In this episode of The Ancient Road Home, I’m joined by debut author Prashanthi Amarnath for a rich and expansive conversation on the power of paradox.Drawing from the wisdom of the Tao Te Ching and her book Embracing Paradox, Prashanthi invites us to release the need to choose between opposites and instead learn how to hold both at once — effort and surrender, clarity and uncertainty, structure and flow. We explore how true freedom doesn’t come from fixing or controlling life, but from accepting the moment as it is and allowing life to move through us.Together, we unpack how embracing paradox softens our grip on fixed outcomes, brings greater clarity to modern life, and opens the door to a deeper sense of ease, trust, and presence. This conversation is a reminder that life isn’t meant to be solved — it’s meant to be lived, fully and honestly, in all of its contradictions.📘 Learn more about Prashanthi’s book, Embracing Paradox, here:👉 find it on your local Amazon website.If this conversation sparked something for you, I’d love to hear from you.If you have questions, reflections, or feel called to be a guest on The Ancient Road Home, you’re warmly invited to reach out.📩 Email: [email protected]📷 Instagram: @_soma.vidya
