Bessy Goulianos’ journey began in her mid-twenties when, shortly after becoming a new mother, she was diagnosed with Crohn’s disease.
For years, she pushed through severe illness, prioritizing her roles as a wife, mother, and caretaker while neglecting her own needs.
As her health declined, she was forced onto disability and underwent major surgery that permanently changed her life, yet also gave her a renewed chance to live.
Her challenges continued with emotional losses, including a divorce and the death of her mother, followed by another autoimmune condition.
Despite repeatedly pushing through pain, her body eventually reached a breaking point, leading to a moment of deep realization: no one was coming to save her, and she had to choose herself.
This realization marked the beginning of her healing.
Bessy shifted from survival to self-awareness, deepening her work in meditation, energy healing, sound therapy, and mindset transformation.
Within a few years, she transformed her life, becoming an author, speaker, and creator of The Goulianos Whole Integration Model.
Her story reflects resilience, self-trust, and the power of choosing oneself, anchored by the message that defines her work today: you are not broken, you are becoming.
Key Takeaways from Bessy’s Journey
1. Healing Begins with a Choice – The moment you realize no one is coming to save you is the moment you reclaim your power and decide to save yourself.
2. Small Steps Create Big Shifts – Ten minutes of grounding, a few intentional breaths, or a moment of stillness each day can gently move you from survival into healing.
3. Look Beyond the Symptom – True transformation happens when you stop asking “How do I fix this?” and start asking “What is this trying to tell me about my life, my stress, and my beliefs?”
4. Putting Yourself First Is Not Selfish – Prioritizing your wellbeing allows you to show up stronger, more grounded, and more loving—for yourself and for everyone around you.
5. You Are Not Broken, You Are Becoming – Your challenges, illnesses, and setbacks are not the end of your story. They are shaping you into a wiser, stronger, more aligned version of who you’re meant to be.
Quotes by Bessy
1. “Take three deep breaths and really feel them, you can literally feel yourself calming down and coming back to the present moment.”
2. “You are not broken. You are becoming, and every challenge you’ve walked through is part of your transformation.”

In this episode Victoria explores the transformational power of the solar plexus chakra, the energy center that governs confidence, willpower, abundance, and aligned action.
Victoria breaks down how this chakra shapes the way we move through life, how we make decisions, pursue goals, and understand our own worth.
She explains that while the root teaches us “I’m safe,” and the sacral teaches us “I want,” the solar plexus awakens the empowering truth: “I do.”
She also highlights the essential pillars of prosperity which are; intuition, action, mindset, and energy, and shows how true abundance begins when all four work together.
The episode serves as an inspiring reminder that everything you need to create the life you desire already exists within you.
When you trust your gut, align your actions, expand your beliefs, and protect your energy, you step into a version of yourself capable of achieving anything.

Tracey Whitten grew up in a home marked by violence, addiction, and instability, eventually becoming homeless at 18.
Even through hardship, she felt guided by a deeper spiritual presence.
At a pivotal moment in Bar Harbor, she decided she would one day own hotels. With no support or resources, she put herself through school, became a CPA and CFO, and by her early thirties fulfilled that dream.
At 50, Tracey experienced a spiritual calling to let it all go.
She sold her hotels during the pandemic and began a new chapter as a healer and spiritual teacher.
Through sound healing, cacao and shamanic practices, and studies of ancient civilizations, she reconnected with her spiritual lineage.
Today, she helps others awaken by blending ancient wisdom with modern consciousness, teaching people to trust their inner guidance and embrace transformation as a sacred path.
Key Takeaways from Tracey’s Journey
1. Your past doesn’t define you - No matter where you start, your story can be rewritten. What once felt like pain can become your greatest source of power.
2. Believe in the vision before it exists - Tracey dreamed of owning hotels long before she had the means. Faith, focus, and persistence turned that dream into reality.
3. Transformation requires surrender - Sometimes the universe calls you to release what once defined you. Letting go opens space for your next, higher purpose.
4. Healing begins within - True success isn’t found in titles or possessions, it’s discovered when you listen to your heart, trust your intuition, and follow your inner guidance.
Quotes by Tracey
1. “It’s when you have nothing that you discover your superpower. The struggle is what builds your strength.”
2. “Your pain is not your punishment; it’s your initiation. Every wound carries the wisdom you’re meant to share.”

Sunshine Layne was born with cerebral palsy and strong intuitive abilities, maintaining her spiritual connection from childhood.
Growing up, she struggled with feeling misunderstood as her premonitions of future events - especially deaths and illnesses - intensified.
Over time, she learned to set boundaries and transform her sensitivity into empowerment.
Today, with over 35 years of experience, she is an international medium, healer, and spiritual coach who helps others reconnect with their intuition in practical, grounded ways.
She advocates for nurturing intuitive children and leads a year-long program called 'Infinity Soul Connections' to support people in living with clarity, courage, and spiritual awareness.
At the heart of her work is the reminder that we are all deeply loved and never alone.
Key Takeaways from from Sunshine’s Journey
1. Your soul always remembers - No matter how far you drift from your intuition, the connection is never lost. It’s waiting for you to come home to yourself.
2. Inner talk creates outer reality - The way you speak to yourself shapes what you attract. Align your thoughts, feelings, and words with the life you want to live.
3. Boundaries are sacred - Opening and closing your spiritual channels with intention allows you to honor your energy, your peace, and your power.
4. You are love, and you are loved - No matter how tough life gets, you are never truly alone. Love surrounds and flows through you, always.
Quotes by Sunshine
1. “Our inner talk is the language the universe listens to. When we align our thoughts, feelings, and words, the world mirrors that alignment back to us.”
2. “We are not defined by what happened to us. We’re defined by what we choose to do with it.”

Robin Miles began her healing journey later in life after a painful betrayal revealed deep-rooted disconnection and unresolved pain across all areas of her life.
At 60, she made a conscious decision to rebuild from within, joining a women-centered healing community where she learned to release emotional armor and embrace authenticity.
Her exploration led her to tantra (a practice of embodiment, breath, and presence) that helped her reconnect with her body and reclaim her joy and sensuality.
Learning to set healthy boundaries became a core part of her transformation, shifting her from victimhood to self-ownership.
Now a tantra teacher and embodiment guide, Robin helps others slow down, feel deeply, and step into their truth.
Her story is a powerful reminder that healing and growth are always possible at any age.
Key Takeaways from from Robin’s Journey
1. Rock bottom can spark rebirth - The moments that break us can also be the ones that awaken our true power.
2. Boundaries are empowering - Saying “no” is an act of self-respect. Boundaries create space for aligned and healthy connections.
3. Grief and growth go hand in hand - Letting go isn’t easy, but it makes room for peace, clarity, and new beginnings.
4. It’s never too late to begin again - No matter your age or past, you can rise, rebuild, and live a life that’s aligned with who you truly are.
Quotes by Robin
1. “It is never, ever too late. Start where you are, with who you are. Your intuition is your superpower.”
2. “Your body is not something to battle with, it’s your ally. When you move it, love it, and celebrate it, freedom follows.”
