In this episode of The Live Thrivingly Podcast, we welcome the remarkable Manjit Devgun, a mind coach, meditation teacher, hypnotist, and spiritual healer whose journey is nothing short of inspiring. Born into a Sikh Punjabi family, Manjit’s path was shaped by the values of peaceful strength, equality, and self-awareness.

From working with CEOs and global corporations like Google and Chanel to creating her transformative app, Manjit’s mission is clear: to help people break through limiting beliefs and embody their true potential.

We explore the power of intuition, the intersection of science and spirituality, and why daily practices are essential for healing and growth. Manjit also opens up about the importance of facing shadows, evolving communication patterns, and stepping into your authentic self with courage and grace. This episode is a deep dive into what it means to live thrivingly, heal holistically, and shine your light in a way that uplifts not just yourself, but the world around you.
