In this episode of Inner Peace, Better Health, host Shreya is joined by Cristiano Colla—writer, poet, and spiritual storyteller—whose journey from personal trainer to purpose-driven creator began with a life-altering Ayahuasca experience. Together, they unpack the gritty truth of spiritual awakening, the role of humor in healing, and the tension between social media perfection and authentic self-expression. Cristiano shares how reconnecting with his body, embracing emotional messiness, and letting go of external validation transformed his identity and life purpose. If you’re standing at the edge of change but unsure how to leap, this conversation is the nudge you need.
About the Guest: Cristiano Colla is a former fitness coach turned poetic soul, whose writing blends vulnerability, humor, and deep spiritual insight. After a powerful Ayahuasca retreat, he left behind the chase for perfection and leaned into the chaos of healing. He now uses storytelling to help others reconnect with their bodies, their truth, and their creative essence.
Key Takeaways:
-
True healing isn’t polished—it’s messy, emotional, and beautifully raw.
-
Humor softens the weight of transformation, making space for lightness in the darkest moments.
-
Social media often distorts authenticity—showing up with your full, imperfect self is the real power.
-
Integration means uniting body, mind, and spirit—not abandoning one for the other.
-
Transformation starts with accepting where you are, not rushing to where you think you should be.
