RADIA WILLEMS

The Mind, The Master, and the Meaning of Life: Radia's Journey with Lama Gangchen

In this deeply personal and heart-opening episode, host Lelia O’Connor sits down with Radia Willems, a lifelong spiritual practitioner from Holland whose life changed forever when she met the beloved Tibetan Buddhist master Lama Gangchen at the age of 13.

Through his unconditional love, guidance, and deep spiritual presence, Radia began a transformative inner journey of emotional healing, self-discovery, and awakening to her true nature.

From the sacred Himalayan temples of Tibet to the teachings of Dharamsala, India, Radia shares intimate stories of mystical experiences, healing realizations, and the powerful impact of being fully accepted — just as you are.

 In this episode, we explore:

  •  Understanding the nature of the mind
  •  How emotions are our teachers — and what they’re really telling us
  •  The process of de-conditioning and learning self-acceptance
  •  Witnessing Lama Gangchen’s unconditional love — and the transformation it brings
  •  Discovering the essence of transforming insecurities into true contentment
  •  Radia’s spiritual travels to Tibet and life in India studying Tibetan Buddhism
  •  The big questions: Who am I? What is the meaning of my life?

 

This episode is a powerful invitation to explore your own inner world — and to discover how deep spiritual connection can transform insecurity and anxiety into lasting peace and contentment.

Many Thanks to our Guest!
