What if the biggest thing standing between you and your best self isn’t stress, deadlines, or lack of time, but your own internal alignment? In this transformative episode of Productivity Smarts, host Gerald J. Leonard is joined by speaker and advocate Marcel Vögeli to explore how a deeper understanding of self-liberation can lead to true productivity and freedom.

Marcel shares his powerful journey, from surviving a severe car crash to battling an autoimmune disease and discovering the life-changing teachings in The Key to Self-Liberation by Christiane Beerlandt. Together, Gerald and Marcel dive into how illnesses, symptoms, and challenges are often life’s way of nudging us to get back in alignment with our true selves.

You’ll also learn why inner work is key to external success, how to embrace your unique path to healing, and how understanding the energetic messages behind stress and symptoms can help you shift toward a more resourceful, abundant life.
