What if everything you’ve ever learned about success, motivation, and even healing is keeping you stuck in a cycle of burnout and unfulfillment?

In this illuminating episode of The Vitality Lounge, hosts Micol Bok and Sandra Tru invite you to radically rethink vitality—not as something you earn by pushing harder, but as your natural state when you reconnect with your body, your “soul set,” and the rhythms of nature itself.

This week’s guest, Sandra Tru—a somatic guide, voice alchemist, and former hustle addict—pulls back the curtain on her journey from overworked New Yorker to empowered creator, sharing the deep, often overlooked practices that bring true fulfillment and purpose. Forget just “mantra magic” or vision boards; Sandra reveals the necessity of embodiment, somatic release, and unlearning widespread cultural habits that sabotage our wellbeing.

Key Highlights & Takeaways:

• Discover why even high-achievers with “all the right habits” can’t find fulfillment—and the most overlooked question to ask yourself about what you’re truly seeking.
• Hear Sandra’s insights on the addictive nature of overwork, and how aligning with seasons, nature, and your own cycles can help you reclaim energy and pleasure in everyday life.
• Dig into the revolutionary “soul set” method Sandra created—going far beyond mindset or manifestation to help you center in deep self-awareness and real, measurable change.
• Understand why language shapes your destiny, and the subtle victimhood traps that keep you from living as a conscious creator—even in something as simple as how you decline an invitation or say you “have to” do something.
• Get practical somatic rituals and daily shifts you can start now to move stuck energy, reignite your joy, and finally honor your body’s inner wisdom.
• Rapid-fire fun: Sandra’s essential morning routine, her transformative reading list, and the surprising power of nature as a healing force.

If you’re tired of “doing all the things” and still feeling empty, this is the episode to reboot your vision of what vitality really means—and start living with energy, presence, self-trust, and genuine joy.
