What a beautiful, uplifting gift Rohan and his crew (and storytellers) bring to podcast land - rarely does one go unlistened to where tears aren’t flowing…in gratitude, connection and humility, for the connection I feel to my fellow brothers and sisters. If I could give this podcast 10 ⭐️’s I would ❤️
Thank you, for reminding us all how amazing this life we get to live is 🌈
Apple Podcasts5timespaceoneUnited States3 months ago - Healing
I’ve been struggling with things for a long time. This podcast feels healing. As Rohan narrates, his voice is so kind. It offers the kindness I longed for and didn’t receive as a child. The kindness I usually cannot give myself. I highly recommend this podcast to anyone struggling to heal from any kind of trauma.

Apple Podcasts5LuckylindyUnited States3 months ago - I need this
I’ve listened Meditative Stories for many years. Additionally, I listen to multiple news/political podcasts throughout the day to stay informed, but when Meditative Story comes into my feed, I always save it for a quiet moment so I can really listen, uninterrupted. It calms me. I need it now more than ever. Thank you!
