Welcome to this deeply moving episode of The George Peterson Podcast! I’m honored to have Katya Komleva—author, speaker, and founder of the SCAR Positive project—as my guest.

Katya’s life was forever changed at the age of 20 when a boiler explosion left her with third-degree burns, nine amputated toes, and years of recovery ahead. What could have been a story of despair became an extraordinary journey of resilience, self-discovery, and purpose.

This episode is an inspiring conversation about resilience, reframing adversity, and finding the courage to live life more intentionally. Katya’s candid reflections on her relationship with alcohol and how it shaped her path add a powerful layer of honesty and depth to her remarkable story.

Welcome to this transformative episode of The George Peterson Podcast! I’m honored to have Tracy Alexander—a former TV news anchor turned Vedic Meditation teacher, retreat leader, and advocate for authentic living—as my guest.

Tracy shares her deeply personal journey, starting at the age of 10 when her life was turned upside down after her father became a brain-damaged quadriplegic overnight. As the eldest of three children, Tracy took on a caregiver role, suppressing her emotions to support her family. This ultimately led to years of struggling with chronic depression, anxiety, self-harm, and a deep sense of responsibility to “save the world.”

In our conversation, Tracy opens up about her healing journey—how she learned to feel, heal, and release her inner pain through meditation, yoga, and nervous system regulation. She reveals the moment she realized she needed to save herself first, a profound shift that allowed her to break free from old patterns and step into a life of authenticity and alignment.

We also explore Tracy’s career as a news anchor, where she questioned the unintended cost of amplifying pain and conflict in the media. This awakening led her to leave the newsroom and dedicate her life to helping others find freedom through practices like Vedic Meditation and Rounding. Tracy now travels the world, running retreats and teaching techniques that empower individuals to live bravely, authentically, and in alignment with their highest truths.

🎧 Tune in to hear Tracy’s inspiring story of transformation, and discover how you, too, can release fear, embrace change, and live a life aligned with your deepest desires.

Welcome to this illuminating episode of The George Peterson Podcast! Today, we embark on a transformative journey into the ancient wisdom of Brahma Muhurta, the science of circadian rhythms, and the healing practice of sun gazing.

In this solo episode, I delve into the profound connection between the early hours before dawn—known as Brahma Muhurta—and our natural rhythms. I share how this sacred time, described in the Vedas as "the hour of Brahman," offers us an unparalleled opportunity to align with nature and awaken to our highest potential. Together, we explore the intricate dance of the Earth and the sun, the role of Surya as a divine intelligence, and how greeting the sun can unlock our intuition and enhance our well-being.

I also uncover the science behind circadian rhythms, explaining how exposure to natural light at sunrise and sunset synchronizes our internal clock, boosts mental clarity, and promotes restorative sleep. You'll learn how sun gazing can activate the pineal gland—often referred to as the "third eye"—and why this practice is vital for balancing our modern, screen-filled lives.

Whether you’re a yogi, a seeker of ancient wisdom, or someone looking to improve your health and energy levels, this episode will inspire you to embrace the power of the sun and reconnect with the rhythms of nature.

🎧 Tune in to discover how the sacred practice of Brahma Muhurta, the science of light, and simple morning rituals can elevate your life, unlock your intuition, and help you live in harmony with the world around you.
