In this episode of The SELF (R)EVOLUTION Podcast, host Breanna Rae Blaney explores one of life’s most profound truths: the power of human connection.

Why do we long to feel seen, heard, and understood, and yet so often feel disconnected from others and from ourselves? Breanna shares insights from Vedic philosophy, her recent retreat experience for the Anya Institute, and the journey of yoga (which literally means “union”) to help you reconnect with your true self and the world around you.

This is an invitation to break through the illusion of separation and rediscover what it means to live in alignment, presence, and love.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why connection is your soul’s deepest desire
• What blocks us from experiencing true oneness with others
• How the 5 causes of suffering (from Vedic wisdom) disconnect us from ourselves
• The science and spirituality of human connection
• A simple daily practice to bring more love, presence, and unity into your life

Whether you're seeking more meaning in your relationships, feeling overwhelmed by daily stress, or craving a deeper connection to yourself and the world, this episode will help you come home to what truly matters.

Tune in and rediscover the real reason we’re all here: to love, connect, and remember who the f*ck we really are.
