Mind Over Habit

What if your greatest wounds could become the doorway to your deepest healing?

‎

‎In this enlightening episode of the Mind Over Habit Podcast, host Moses sits down with spiritual healer, author, and retreat facilitator Shawngela Pierce to explore the connection between trauma, healing, divine guidance, and spiritual awakening.

‎

‎After experiencing childhood trauma, chronic asthma, and years of searching for answers through traditional and alternative healing paths, Shawngela discovered a transformative truth: healing begins when we reconnect with our divine nature and learn to trust the guidance within.

‎

‎Together, they discuss the role of spirituality in healing emotional wounds, how divine guidance communicates with us, the power of meditation, and why many people feel disconnected from their true purpose. Shawngela also shares practical steps listeners can take to begin strengthening their spiritual connection and embracing their own healing journey.

‎

‎If you've ever felt stuck, disconnected, or uncertain about your next step in life, this conversation offers hope, clarity, and inspiration.

‎

‎In this transformative episode of the Mind Over Habit Podcast, host Moses sits down with TEDx Speaker, European Improvised Speaking Champion, and creator of The Flow Method, Anne Topenot.

‎

‎Growing up in an environment where silence became a survival strategy, Anne spent years performing confidence while carrying unspoken wounds beneath the surface.
