413: How to Elevate Your Consciousness with Music

I used to listen to music just for the sound. If I loved the beat, someone's voice, or a rhythm, that's all I needed. But over the last five years, I've started to care just as much about lyrics as the melodies—and it's made me much more grateful for the powerful messaging in conscious music.

My guest today is Rob Riccardo, who is literally one of my favorite musicians of all time! His lyrics uplift and inspire me. They have the power to elevate my consciousness and have helped me through life's most difficult moments, including my struggles with depression.

Rob is a deep, thoughtful, and enlightened individual. It was fascinating to get to talk with him, hear his journey, and learn more about the way he's approached music and life—especially as he's navigated the pandemic over the last two years.

You're going to walk away from this episode with a refreshed mindset around living in the present moment and accepting happiness into your life—even if reality is different than what you imagined!
