Episode 6 Summary
In this episode, Heather Wick sits down with Briana Borten, a spiritual mentor, visionary leader, healer, and founder of The Dragon Tree Spa and Spirit Medicine Academy. Briana shares her deeply personal and transformative journey from surviving a severe car accident at 18, which sparked her interest in energy healing, to becoming a successful multi-business entrepreneur and spiritual guide.
Key Points:
Origins in Healing: After experiencing significant healing from energy work following her accident, Briana knew her calling was to help others through bodywork and energy healing, ultimately becoming a massage therapist and energy worker.
Entrepreneurial Evolution: Briana candidly shares her entrepreneurial journey, including getting fired from a spa job that propelled her to open her own spa at just 23. Her business quickly expanded into multiple locations, a cafe, and a thriving line of wellness products, emphasizing her ability to adapt, innovate, and listen deeply to what the universe called her toward next.
Integration of Spirituality and Business: Briana emphasizes how spirituality has always been the core of her business philosophy, advocating for an integrated approach rather than strict compartmentalization of spiritual, professional, and personal life. Her businesses intentionally create environments of sanctuary, peace, and deep connection.
The Power of Energy Work in Business: She reveals how incorporating energy work into her business strategy became a game-changer—first demonstrated by dramatically healing her husband's wrist pain and later applying energy healing techniques to shift challenges within her businesses successfully.
Transformative Programs and Practices: Briana highlights key offerings such as Love Rising, a group energy work program; Sacred Expansion, a deeply reflective personal growth experience following nature’s seasonal cycles; and her Spirit Medicine Academy, where she mentors others in energy work.
Advice on Navigating Business Challenges Spiritually: Briana stresses the importance of trust in the universe, active engagement with challenges instead of avoidance, and expanding one's capacity to receive abundance. She provides insight into the necessity of cultivating resilience through spiritual practice, intuition, and conscious integration of spiritual principles into daily life.
