Surviving Child Cancer, Vipassana & Building A Community at 23 Years Old | with Savr | EP14

Honestly, this is my favourite episode yet. We felt so present with each other and I'm really happy that it's archived in this format, for you to also enjoy.I sat down with Savr, a cancer survivor, Vipassana meditation practitioner, and the founder of the BreakFree Club in Mumbai.Today Savr beautifully shared his story - at 10 years old, Savr faced cancer, an experience that reshaped his understanding of time, presence, and what truly matters. In this conversation, he reflects on how life-altering events can be, and we never know how we will react - but how much our reactions can feel a little easier through the practice of meditation.We explore his meditation journey and how it supports him with decision fatigue as a business founder, mental clarity, and even brain health - including research around meditation expanding grey matter.Savr also shares his perspective on religion vs science, his understanding of higher power, and why he consciously chooses not to use Instagram - prioritising presence and sanity over constant digital stimulation.He is the founder of BreakFree Club, a mindful social community based in Mumbai creating connection without alcohol or party culture - through treks, meditations, game nights, and intentional gatherings. With plans to expand globally, BreakFree is redefining what modern connection looks like.We discuss:• Beating cancer at 10 years old• Lessons on the preciousness of time• Meditation and brain science• Religion vs science & higher power• Decision fatigue in the modern world• Quitting Instagram for mental clarity• Building sober, mindful social spaces• Creating meaningful connection in your 20s & 30sI hope you will be just as inspired and deeply touched as I was.
