On The Wellness Driven Life Show, April Chavez sits down with journalist and author Cate Montana to talk about her book, Cracking the Matrix: 14 Keys to Individual and Global Freedom, and the deeper questions that surfaced when her old beliefs were no longer grounded in reality. Cate shares how 2020 pushed her to look beyond self-help and into the history of fear, influence, and the many traditions that have named destructive unseen forces across cultures. She also offers a simple practice for staying rooted: get quiet, go barefoot in nature, and learn to trust your own inner wisdom again.
