Together, she and Kris explore the connection between science and spirituality, the power of our subconscious thoughts, and why creating a fulfilling life starts with what we believe is possible.

They also dive into Latha’s new book, The 24/7 Manifestation Method, releasing October 6, 2026. Discover her accessible seven-day practice and the ideas behind it.

What does it mean to simply be there when someone is facing the unimaginable?

In this episode of Voices of Resiliency, Kris Pace and Michael Pellegrino sit down with Gary Holden, longtime chaplain, crisis intervention instructor, and Director of Chaplain Services for Resilient Minds.

Gary shares how answering the call to serve at Ground Zero after 9/11 changed the course of his life, inspiring him to build and expand chaplain programs that have trained more than a thousand people to support first responders, families, and communities in crisis.

But that service came with a cost. Years later, Gary was diagnosed with aggressive stage-four prostate cancer linked to his time at the World Trade Center—and given approximately six months to live. More than eight years later, even as he faces cancer again, his faith, purpose, and commitment to serving others remain unwavering.

This is resilience through presence, community, faith, and continuing to move forward.

What does it take to remain resilient when the stakes couldn't be higher?

In this season finale of Voices of Resiliency, Kris Pace and Michael Pellegrino welcome Matthew "Wiz" Buckley—former U.S. Navy F/A-18 fighter pilot, TOPGUN graduate, entrepreneur, author, and founder of the No Fallen Heroes Foundation.

Drawing from a life spent operating in high-pressure environments, Wiz shares the lessons he's learned about leadership, risk, purpose, and the resilience required to navigate both success and adversity. Beyond his remarkable accomplishments, he opens up with authenticity and vulnerability, revealing the personal experiences that shaped the man behind the résumé.

Together, they explore how discipline, service, and a commitment to continual growth can help us face life's toughest challenges with courage and clarity. It's a conversation about more than elite performance—it's about finding meaning after hardship, leading with humility, and choosing to keep moving forward no matter what.

This powerful season finale is a reminder that resilience isn't reserved for extraordinary people. It's built through the decisions we make every day, especially when life asks the most of us.

Namaste, family. In this powerful episode of Conversations with Kris, I welcome a living master: Sri Swami Vidyanand—founder of the World Yoga Federation, and the visionary behind Transformational Yoga®, TIME Meditation®, and Integral Kundalini®.

With over 50 years of spiritual service and a lineage that traces back more than 500 years through Bhakti Yoga and the teachings of The Mother and Sri Aurobindo, Sri Swami shares his mission to unify the world through yoga.

This is not just a conversation. It’s a transmission—a meeting of East and West, soul and structure, tradition and transformation. We explore how his systems merge ancient yogic paths like Hatha, Raja, Bhakti, and Kundalini with modern spiritual evolution, and how the World Yoga Federation is leading the way in global yogic education.

Under his lineage, I’ve received the title of Grand Master of Yoga, with the authority to train and certify at all levels—and to carry this legacy forward through Vets2Yoga and the U.S. Yogasana Federation.

This isn’t just a title. It’s a legacy—and a call to rise.
Let’s answer it.

🎙️ Here is Sri Swami Vidyanand.

In this episode, Ben shares how a civilian got called into a cosmic mission to serve those who serve—launching a consciousness festival designed to heal veterans and awaken humanity. This is tech, truth, and transformation colliding.
