Guest: Carolina Gonzalez – Certified Mindfulness & Meditation Teacher 

In this powerful first episode, Bryan White welcomes Carolina Gonzalez, a certified mindfulness teacher and author from Sydney, Australia. Carolina opens up about her journey through grief, burnout, and emotional exhaustion—and how mindfulness became her path back to herself.

• A Personal Crisis:
  After losing her mother, marriage, and job all within a short period, Carolina found herself completely untethered. Mindfulness gave her space to breathe, process, and rebuild from within.
• A New Direction:
  After two decades in the corporate world, she became certified through the Australian Centre for Mindfulness and now leads workshops and her signature program, Renew & Rise: Your 90-Day Pathway, helping others reconnect with clarity and self-worth.
• Her Core Message:
  Carolina believes that healing starts with self-compassion and presence. She encourages others to trust their journey and rediscover the wisdom already within them.
