Healing Beyond Limits: Lauren Vaknin's Journey from Disability to Wellness

In this episode of the Intentional Manifestation Podcast, I had the pleasure of speaking with Lauren Vaknin, a holistic health and life coach, podcast host, health writer, and speaker. Lauren shared her incredible journey of overcoming juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, which left her wheelchair-bound by the age of 18. Through a decade-long mission of self-healing, she explored various modalities including nutrition, meditation, trauma healing, and energy medicine, ultimately achieving remission and transforming her life.

Lauren's story is a testament to the power of the mind and the importance of a holistic approach to health. She emphasized the significance of shifting one's identity from a place of dis-ease to a place of healing, and how integrating physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual practices can lead to profound transformation.

We also delved into the importance of connecting with nature and how it plays a crucial role in maintaining equilibrium and fostering a deeper connection to self. Lauren shared insights from her membership program, which offers a comprehensive approach to healing, covering topics such as inner child healing, shadow work, trauma processing, divine feminine energy, and health optimization.

Lauren's membership is designed to be accessible and affordable, ensuring that women from all walks of life can benefit from her teachings. She highlighted the importance of community in the healing process and how her platform fosters supportive connections among its members.

Throughout our conversation, we touched on the balance between living in the modern world and maintaining a connection to our natural selves. Lauren's approach is about empowering individuals with knowledge and tools to navigate the challenges of modern living while staying grounded in their true selves.

This episode is a powerful reminder of the potential for healing and transformation that lies within each of us, and the importance of a holistic, integrated approach to achieving our highest selves.
