Today on IGNTD Recovery Secrets, we have another incredible guest joining us! Akshay Nanavati has an incredible story about addiction, recovery, and all of the ups and downs that come along with that. He leaves out no details and shares the raw journey of what it really looks like to recover through the power of embracing your fears and facing your struggles.

Through the work that Akshay is doing now with Fearvana, he has discovered a new way of helping people manifest success. The ethos of Fearvana is to help you find your worthy struggle, live your worthy struggle, and fall in love with every moment of the journey.

In this episode, Akshay shares some incredibly insightful pieces of wisdom about the beauty of struggle, pain, and fear and how we can leverage them to actually become our best selves and live a truly blissful life. He speaks about his own experiences pursuing his fears, how we can push boundaries for growth rather than push boundaries to escape discomfort, how we can begin to recognize and seek out experiences that help us to explore and go within vs. experiences that help us run away and avoid, and how we can prepare to go face-to-face with our fears and begin to embrace them for the most powerful transformation.
