Ep. 210 What if a cancelled flight wasn’t an inconvenience… but the start of your transformation? In this soul-stirring episode of Healing Her Within, host Maryann Rivera-Dannert takes you deep into the Costa Rican jungle for her first encounter with the sacred plant medicine, Grandmother Ayahuasca.
From airport chaos and travel setbacks to a powerful spiritual awakening, Maryann’s journey is a masterclass in patience, surrender, and self-discovery. Along the way, she shares how unexpected challenges can be your greatest teachers, why the people around you often reflect the lessons you most need, and how to be gentle with yourself when life doesn’t go to plan.
💡 You’ll Learn:
How to shift from frustration to focus when life tests you
The surprising lessons Ayahuasca revealed about healing and growth
Why surrendering control can lead to deeper peace and clarity
The magic of finding yourself surrounded by the “right” people at the “right” time
If you’ve ever wondered what’s waiting for you on the other side of discomfort, this episode is your invitation to lean in, listen, and discover the wisdom hidden in life’s detours.
