A trick question from a listener: "If everyone lives their life purpose, who will sweep the streets?" has inspired Dina Newman and Tine Bieber to talk to an anti-litter activist Daniella Levine.

We are sometimes led to believe it's easy to "manifest" the life you want - but what if your life is so traumatic that it makes you lose hope? How do you begin to rule your life and live your purpose? In this powerful interview, Jessica Janniere tells Dina Newman and Tine Bieber how she has been transforming her own life and how she is helping others to do the same. We discuss "transformation" vs "manifestation", the power of vision, the process of healing your mind by questioning your erroneous beliefs, and the importance of surrounding yourself with the people who help you grow.
