From NASA Scientist to Holistic Healer: Mayim Vega's Transformative Journey

In this episode of Confessions of a Terrible Leader, Layci welcomes Mayim Vega, a former NASA computer scientist turned holistic life coach and entrepreneur. They discuss Mayim's diverse background, her transition from a career in science to holistic health, and her journey managing nine children. Mayim shares her experiences dealing with high stress, migraines, and the inadequacies of conventional medical solutions, which led her to explore holistic healing. She highlights the importance of understanding root causes rather than just treating symptoms and the value of movement, sun exposure, and nutrition. Mayim also opens up about how personal coaching transformed her life during a challenging period when she and her husband took in two additional children.
