Juggling life for years led Daniela Sulek to hit a wall. Her entire way of life changed when what she now calls “humaning” led to her

developing serious illnesses while pregnant with her third child, and almost cost her life. With her “play your way through life” philosophy,

she now helps renowned, yet unfulfilled leaders move into the permanent state of ease, joy, and passion. By transcending from the conditioned human to the consciousness of their true self, they shift into effortlessly creating by being, instead of creating by doing. 

Daniela sees through the illusion of rigid physical reality and ridicule of human conditioning. Her thirst for truth naturally brought

her on a journey of experiencing the self beyond the mind, body, and physical reality. She has brought a leading-edge concept of applied

neurophysiology, energy medicine, quantum physics, metaphysics and higher logic into her daily life creating massive physical, mental, and

emotional shifts for herself and her clients.

Highlights of this episode:

How to play your way through life and success, because it’s all just a game anyways.

How 90% of our daily action is counter productions to achieving our goals and desires.

Why we need to overcome hero syndrome to live our desires instantly.

How constant self improvement and working on ourselves all the time is hindering us.

In 2017, Mary and her family were just getting settled into a new home in Montecito when the Thomas Fire erupted at the end of that year. Mary, who was four months pregnant at the time, and her family evacuated for a month and returned to their home in January 2018 when the area was deemed safe. They were not under mandatory evacuation orders on the night of January 9 of that year when massive amounts of heavy rain caused a debris flow that would claim the lives of 23 people (many of them her immediate neighbors) and over 450 structures. 

Their new home was in one of the two direct paths of the tsunami-like debris flow of mud, water, and boulders that tore down the mountain. Mary was separated from her son and husband and trapped alone for five hours on a sliver of her bathroom counter, wet and cold from winter rain and covered in toxic mud. For much of that time she thought her son and husband had not survived as she watched the two story part of her home that contained her son’s bedroom get washed away in a river of mud. While trapped, she experienced a connection to a powerful and calming force. Now, Mary is on a personal mission to let others know they are not alone and there is light on the other side of the darkness of PTSD. 

Mary just released her first book Trusting the Dawn: How to Choose Freedom and Joy After Trauma, and Dr. Joe Dispeza himself said “This book is medicine for anyone who wants to free their mind, body, and soul from the past.”
