A client’s impatient, accusatory email pushed me into a moment of truth. Instead of reacting, I paused, and what happened next revealed something essential about conscious leadership.

In this episode, I unpack:
• Why discomfort is often our greatest teacher
• The hidden myth of “everything must flow” in spiritual spaces
• What real leadership looks like when emotions run high

If you’ve ever felt pressured to stay calm or “aligned” while navigating hard moments, this episode will shift your perspective.

🎧 Listen in and discover what discomfort might be trying to teach you.

In this episode of Kami Podcast, I sit down with Maria Tkacz, founder of Harbor Thermaculture, to explore her deeply personal journey of healing, transformation, and leadership.

From a place of searching for herself and navigating mental illness, Maria discovered the power of holistic health (sauna, cold-plunge, and energetic care) to reconnect with her body, her truth, and her purpose.

Together, we dive into how that inner healing process has shaped her into a conscious leader, driven by compassion, clarity, and authenticity. Maria shares what sparked her vision to create a space of refuge and renewal in Chicago, and how turning pain into purpose has become the foundation of her work.

Whether you are seeking inner alignment, curious about holistic health rituals, or wanting to lead from a place of presence and healing, this conversation will inspire you to lean into your own transformation and purpose-driven leadership.

Tune in for an honest, heartfelt exploration of the path from self-healing to leading others.

In this episode, I dive into the deep intelligence of the body and the importance of focusing the mind. I share about the inner truth that always speaks clearly, even when the mind hesitates.

I explore how the physical body, the mind body, and the energy body are constantly communicating with one another, and what happens when we finally learn to listen.
