Imagine growing up in the strict confines of the Soviet Union and later transforming into a beacon of personal growth and spirituality. That's the remarkable journey of Kristina Mand-Lakhiani, co-founder of Mindvalley. In this episode of 'Speaking Up with Andrew Pledger', Kristina shares her life story, from her early days in Estonia to becoming an international speaker, entrepreneur, and author. Kristina's upbringing was filled with limitations and restrictions, a stark contrast to the freedom she would later embrace.
She likens her realization of these constraints to a fish discovering water only when it's taken out. Her perspective shifted dramatically after the Soviet Union's collapse, setting her on a path of self-discovery and personal growth. Starting her career in a government office, Kristina quickly achieved success that was rare for women at the time. However, it was her marriage to Vishen Lakhiani and their founding of Mindvalley that truly ignited her transformation.
Initially skeptical of concepts like meditation and spirituality, Kristina's pragmatic mindset gradually opened up to new possibilities. Her journey into spirituality led her to explore profound questions about the human soul and life after death. Kristina's story is not just about personal growth; it's also about resilience and adaptability. She emphasizes that true transformation comes from lived experiences rather than theoretical teachings.
Her upcoming book, 'Becoming Flossom', encapsulates her life lessons and encourages readers to find peace with themselves through courage and kindness. This episode is a must-listen for anyone navigating their own spiritual journey or healing from past traumas. Kristina's insights and compassionate approach offer a refreshing perspective on self-discovery and transformation.
