From Suffering To Serenity: Zac Russell On The Power Of Awareness

from Own Your Essence · host April DeMille

Host April DeMille interviews Zac Russell about achieving freedom, peace, and contentment through present-moment living. Zac says his shift came through decades of suffering rooted in living in past/future narratives, and he emphasizes awareness, acceptance, and surrender, suggesting people record and review their conversations to notice limiting stories. He frames ego and “self” as language-based narratives formed in early childhood, links fight-or-flight (amygdala) to reduced creativity and increased illness via stress hormones, and argues goals, self-improvement, and belief systems reinforce scarcity and rumination. Discussing grief and trauma, he stresses acceptance and releasing frameworks about how life “should” be. He critiques advice-seeking and some psychic claims, shares hobbies and interests, and invites listeners to his Linktree for resources, an audio course, and contact.Zac Russell helps people experience peace, presence, and contentment in their lives. He believes that true freedom comes from letting go of limiting beliefs, stories, and narratives through awareness, and living fully in the only place that objectively exists: the present moment.https://linktr.ee/zacrussell✨ Work with April 1:1If you’re looking to work with April privately, here are the booking links:30-Minute Intuitive Breakthrough Readinghttps://calendly.com/ownyouressencepodcast/intuitive-breakthrough-reading-with-april-demille45-Minute Intuitive Breakthrough Reading https://calendly.com/ownyouressencepodcast/intuitive-breakthrough-reading15-Minute Discovery Callhttps://calendly.com/ownyouressencepodcast/breakthrough-discovery-call-15-minuteSend us Fan Mail
