Nobel Peace Prize winner Rigoberta Menchu Tum discusses her trauma in being exiled from Guatemala; Goldie Hawn explains the panic attacks she went through early in her career; Iyanla Vanzant discusses her creative process when writing; and Deepak Chopra shares his moments of intense disconnection throughout his life.
