The InnerView with Mitra & Ben

Do you keep waiting for life to slow down before honoring that pull toward something deeper within you?
In this episode, Ben turns the mic on Mitra and traces the real story behind her wisdom—from a childhood spent talking to God on rooftops in Iran to rebuilding her life as a single mother in a country where she knew no one. She opens up about what motherhood actually taught her about unity, why she stayed in a marriage for 11 years before finding the courage to leave, and what conscious partnership looks like when you stop chasing "perfect." This is a raw, intimate conversation about holding your spiritual hunger and your real-world responsibilities in the same hand.

What You’ll Learn: 
Why the life you're building might be keeping you from the life you're building it for.
A simple inner reframe that changes how you relate to overwhelm when it hits.
What Mitra learned about the difference between the love that hooks you and the love that actually lasts.
If you’re someone who ….
keeps putting your inner life on hold until things settle down
is questioning whether your relationship has the depth to grow with you
senses the beliefs driving your life were inherited, not chosen
…then you’ll want to be sure to listen in on this episode. Enjoy!

Are you wanting to create more balance and order in your inner and outer world ? 
In this episode, Ben and Mitra introduce a metaphor rooted in Kabbalah — the idea that everything in your life is a vessel, and the quality of what you receive through it depends on how aligned that vessel is. They apply this lens to your physical spaces, your mind, and even your daily habits, getting specific about what's quietly blocking your clarity. What starts as an ancient concept becomes something surprisingly practical — a way of looking at your bedroom, your desk, and your phone that you won't be able to unsee.

What You’ll Learn: 
There's a specific reason you feel foggy and uninspired — and it has less to do with your mindset than you think.
Mitra names the hidden force behind why we accumulate so much stuff, and it reframes clutter in a way you won't forget.
Ben flags the trap that most spiritually-minded people fall into with a teaching like this — and it's the very thing that keeps the work from landing.

If you’re someone who ….
does the inner work but still feels scattered in daily life
senses your environment is draining you but can't pinpoint why
turns every spiritual teaching into another thing to perfect
…then you’ll want to be sure to listen in on this episode. Enjoy!

Are you struggling to find solutions to a challenge your facing right now? 
When life destabilizes — a financial hit, a relationship rupture, a career shake-up — most of us rush to fix it before we've found solid ground. In this episode, AI ethics expert and Kabbalist Esther Lancaster introduces a framework for receiving clarity instead of chasing it. Benjamin and Mitra explore what it actually looks like to sit with discomfort long enough to access a deeper intelligence — and why the chaos you're experiencing might be building something in you. This conversation gets practical, personal, and surprisingly relevant to the world we're all navigating right now.

What You’ll Learn: 
There's a specific reason your biggest challenges feel so intense right now — and it has to do with what you're being prepared to receive.
Esther shares why the urge to figure it out is the very thing keeping clarity from reaching you — and what to do instead.
Benjamin reveals the one question that helped him break a fear-driven loop during a real financial crisis — and it had nothing to do with finding an answer.

keeps making decisions from fear and regretting them later
believes everything happens for a reason but loses that when pain hits
