What if your healing wasn’t just for you —but for everyone you're connected to? In Part 2 of this heart-opening conversation, I’m back with my bestie and soul sister, Mandy Trapp, and we’re diving even deeper into the messy, magical journey of healing, integration, and leading from embodied truth. Mandy shares how her deepest pain became the doorway to her purpose—how she found her voice, reclaimed her story, became a Vedic Master, and stepped fully into her calling as a teacher, breathwork facilitator, and spiritual guide. We explore the sacred work of telling the truth (even when it’s hard), asking for what we need (hello boundaries), and how the breath can become one of our most powerful tools for transformation. We get into: Why reclaiming your story matters before sharing it with others The difference between pain and suffering—and how to meet both with compassion Mandy’s path to becoming a Vedic Master and Chopra Center teacher Why embodiment is the spiritual work The birth of Lifestyle Meditation How breathwork can support healing across lifetimes (yes, really) Honouring mental health as a sacred priority The power of “breathing for the ones who couldn’t” Why it’s not just about transcendence—but about integration This episode is a powerful reminder that when we choose to heal, we help liberate others too.
