Breaking Stigma, Finding Ease: Living and Thriving With HIV Through Self-Inquiry with The Work of Byron Katie


Listen Later

In this episode of the Effortless Creation & Insight Coaching Podcast, I sit down with Moud Chinembiri for a remarkable and heartfelt conversation. Moud shares her 17-year journey living with HIV and how she moved through deep shame, stigma, and personal struggle to become an advocate, coach, and changemaker in her community. Together, we explore the powerful impact of "The Work" by Byron Katie, and how this practice not only helped Moud transform her own self-stigma, but also became a tool she shares with others to unlock self-worth and resilience.

We'll get real about the everyday thoughts and judgments that can weigh us down, and you'll hear how the simple act of questioning those thoughts opens the door to greater peace and freedom. Moud’s story is one of perseverance, forgiveness, and creating change from the inside out—not just for herself, but for countless young people navigating challenges of identity, community, and opportunity.

Three things you might take away from this episode:

  • How “The Work” can be a practical tool for working with self-stigma and limiting beliefs, especially around shame and worthiness.
  • The role of community, support, and personal questioning in rebuilding a sense of agency and possibility, even after profound personal challenges.
  • Why bringing curiosity and openness to our thoughts—whether they feel big or small—can genuinely shift the way we show up in our lives and for others.

Join me for this meaningful conversation with Moud, and discover what it means to move toward a life of more ease, insight, and effortless creation, no matter what obstacles we face.
