Have you ever wondered why you feel and experience emotions the way you do? The Emotional Fast is a seven-episode series of the Mongata Podcast that will help you answer that question and use the tools you have within yourself to transform and embrace them.

Each week in our immersive experience, we will focus on a single emotion. We will share what brings these emotions to us and then fast from it so we can learn how to transform and embrace it. Join us for the Emotional Fast on Thursdays and accompanying meditations on Sundays this spring.

This episode we are looking at the places we hold and live lack mentality and how it negatively effects our lives. We then look at easy ways to take small steps into transforming it.
