Episode notes
Surgery Forced A Career Reboot
- Jonathan Fields recounts his high-pressure law career that led to emergency surgery when his body 'gave out' as a wake-up call.
- That health crisis pushed him to leave law, study human potential, teach yoga, and launch Good Life Project work.

- Jonathan recommends daily mindfulness practice as an accessible, brain-rewiring foundation for presence.
