Al Diaz and co-host Patricia Panahi share their insights on "Challenges, Obstacles as Opportunities"

Author Patricia Panahi shares lessons from the numerous trials and challenges chronicled in her new book: God Outside the Box: A Story of Breaking Free. Born of a New Jersey Catholic mother and Iranian Muslim father, she was never quite sure what to believe. She explored different religions, but none spoke to her soul. A cancer diagnosis and painful childhood memories--her mother's abandonment and her forced relocation to her father's country--rocked her world and propelled her to search for a spirituality that would fill the large and heartbreaking void. Consequently, she tumbled into a spiritual adventure that exploded her concepts of reality and opened her to a brave new world where souls talk, trees emit energy fields, rocks have life, and God is everywhere. www.patriciapanahi.com
