Our conversation with Sonya traces a real, lived shift—from “doing all the right things” to a gentler, deeper healing that starts with breath, boundaries, and honest self-trust. We revisit a Mexico retreat that changed her trajectory, where breathwork cracked old armor and a Temazcal ceremony turned surrender into something you can feel in your bones.

Journey to the Heart of Avalon
What happens when a spiritual journey becomes a physical and emotional crucible? My recent pilgrimage to England's sacred sites opened me in ways I never anticipated, stripping away pretense and bringing me face-to-face with unprocessed emotions.
