Kristina Mänd Lakhiani: Becoming Flawesome

The Fearless and Successful Podcast with Dijana Llugolli

I am so thrilled for this episode, where I interview and express deep appreciation for a mentor who has had a profound impact on so many lives, including mine. Kristina Mand-Lakhiani, an international speaker, entrepreneur, artist, philanthropist, and mother, has been an inspiration and a guiding light for countless individuals on their journey of personal transformation.

Kristina's journey started in a government office in Estonia, and through determination and dedication, she achieved a level of success typically associated with male politicians at the end of their careers. This drive and passion eventually led her and her then-husband Vishen to found Mindvalley, which grew from a small meditation business in their New York apartment to a global educational organization, impacting hundreds of thousands of students worldwide.
What sets Kristina apart is her belief that life should not be taken too seriously, and she infuses every aspect of her life with joy and fun. As a teacher, mother, entrepreneur, philanthropist, and world traveler, Kristina's zest for life shines through in everything she does. She has developed a unique framework called "Hacking Happiness," which teaches individuals how to find balance, savor every moment, and make mindful daily choices.

July 2023 marked a significant milestone for Kristina as she released her very first book, "Becoming Flawesome," in collaboration with Hay House Publishing. In this powerful book, Kristina shares her personal journey of transitioning from the pinnacle of success in the personal growth industry to embracing vulnerability and authenticity. She bravely reveals her conscious uncoupling from her husband and the path she took towards being more honest with herself.
