YoggNation: The Spirit of Gratitude
Welcome to the YoggNation: Spirit of Gratitude podcast, hosted by Yogesh Patel
Each week, you’ll hear from a diverse mix of high-profile guests from different ages, backgrounds, professions, and cultures, who open up about topics like gratitude, bullying, self-awareness, resilience, and tuning into that quiet inner voice we often ignore.
This podcast is all about honest conversations that make you pause, reflect, and maybe even see yourself a little more clearly.
