In this powerful episode, I’m joined by Paola di Florio and Peter Rader — the creative, heart-centered filmmaking duo behind the acclaimed documentaries Awake: The Life of Yogananda and My Father, The Healer.

Paola is an Oscar- and Emmy-nominated filmmaker, celebrated for her ability to capture the depth of the human spirit through story. Peter is a writer and director best known for his first screenplay, which became the major motion picture Waterworld. Together, their work bridges art, consciousness, and transformation.

We talk about:
The making of Awake and how Yogananda’s teachings continue to awaken seekers around the world
The intimate, healing journey behind My Father, The Healer
How storytelling can serve as a path of awakening and inner alchemy

This episode is an invitation to rediscover the healer within — and to see how film can open hearts and raise consciousness.
