Drawing on 25 years of clinical experience, Dr. Crawford reveals seven core transformations that can lead to greater clarity, balance, and connection. This isn\u2019t just about health\u2014it\u2019s about awakening. What we discuss in this episode:   Understanding the mental gap between awareness and action.   Examining upbringing, personality, and the courage to defy norms.   Are we hardwired for compassion? What evolution tells us about empathy.   The #1 reason people revert after going vegan.   The seven psychological changes that occur during the transition to a plant-based lifestyle.   What happens when we live out of alignment with our values.
