Diego Perez, widely known by his pen name Yung Pueblo joins the show to share the inner journey that led him from emotional chaos to global recognition as a voice for self-awareness and healing. Before the books, the quotes, and the millions of readers, there was a personal reckoning: addiction, overstimulation, and the need to change from the inside out. Meditation became the turning point, helping him rebuild his relationship with stillness, discipline, and emotional honesty.
