Shownotes

What if healing doesn’t start with control—but with surrender? In Inner Peace, Better Health, hosted by Archita, Michael Bugary shares a deeply human journey from addiction, illness, and inner chaos to grounded peace.

This episode is for anyone feeling stuck in cycles of overthinking, self-doubt, or emotional pain. Michael unpacks how spirituality and meditation became real tools—not abstract ideas—to rebuild his life from within. Expect honest reflections, practical shifts, and a reminder that healing begins with facing yourself gently.
