What if the love you’re searching for has been within you all along? In this episode, Vex King shares his journey of healing from trauma, embracing self-love, and turning pain into purpose. We explore the deeper meaning of love, the difference between relationships and true inner connection, and how to manifest an aligned life.

Vex King is the Number 1 Sunday Times bestselling author of Good Vibes Good Life and Healing is the New High, amongst other books and journals. As a child and young adult, he experienced many challenges: his father died when he was just a baby, his family were often homeless, and he grew up in troubled neighbourhoods where he regularly experienced violence and racism. Despite this, Vex successfully turned his whole life around and is now leading a revolution for the next generation of spiritual seekers.
