What if everything you're suffering from... is just a story your mind is telling you?

In this episode of Beast VS Zombie, host Dominique Muhammad sits down with mindset coach Zach Russell, who shares how surviving cancer forced him to master the art of living fully in the present moment — and why letting go of the past and future changed his entire life.

✅ Why the past and future are illusions created by the mind

✅ How beating cancer taught him to stay present through pain

✅ The real difference between pain and suffering

✅ Why he refuses to give advice — and what he does instead

✅ The "Awareness, Acceptance, Surrender" method to truly let go

Real freedom doesn't come from advice — it comes from seeing clearly. Be a Beast. 🦁
