In this moving episode of Inner Light, host Aanya sits down with Dean Weitenhagen—a seasoned professional whose life took a profound turn following two cancer diagnoses and his wife's life-altering stroke. Dean shares how personal adversity, faith, and stillness cracked open a deeper perspective on why we’re here and what truly matters. From air traffic control to real estate to a spiritual awakening in a hospital bed, Dean’s story is a powerful reminder that our greatest growth often arises from our hardest trials.
