What if exhaustion wasn’t the end, but the breakthrough?
In this episode, I sit down with Gicela Holguin, Self-Connection Guide and Soul Archeologist, as she shares her transformative journey walking the Camino de Santiago pilgrimage. What started as an intuitive nudge turned into a profound lesson in slowing down, listening to her body, and realizing she was still living in survival mode—disguised as ambition.
We explore how to tell the difference between intuition and fear, what it means to create a “soft landing” after years of leaping, and how the body becomes a roadmap for healing and alignment.
If you’ve ever wondered how to stop just surviving and start thriving, this episode will give you the tools, perspective, and inspiration to trust your inner voice and live in soulful alignment.
