Top Episodes Quotes
- “I don't think teaching people, scaring people, judging people asking them to do it out of fear, out of anger. I think they're all very temporary changes. All people will pretend and have a false presentation of themselves without actually wanting to do the work.“ by Radhi Devlukia
- “We have teachers from the moment we're born in, our mothers, our fathers, our sisters, and then the teachers that we have professionally and then the mentors that we have, like, how grateful. I see it as a way of being grateful to our teachers by passing it on to other people.“ by Radhi Devlukia
- “I always think this, like, when you keep people feeling like that they are relevant and important, as we all should feel that we have value in the world, it allows you to feel like you should be here and want to contribute and live longer and makes your life, you know, we all need human connection, and I think giving that space to elderly, whether it's asking them for knowledge or trying to reintegrate them into society in the right way, then I think that's a beautiful way to be able to do that.“ by Radhi Devlukia
- “Simply starting that way can really change your perspective on your body and what you're eating.“ by Radhi Devlukia
