🔥 From Hustle to Healing: The Journey Back to Wholeness 🔥

You’ve been chasing goals, climbing ladders, hitting every milestone—and still, something feels off. 😓 The hustle brought success… but also exhaustion, burnout, and a sense of emotional emptiness. Sound familiar?

In this powerful episode, we talk about the moment when you realize that hustle alone isn’t the answer—and how true success begins with healing. 🌿
We’ll explore what it means to slow down, reconnect with your body, emotions, and soul, and lead your life from a place of alignment and peace—not pressure.

💡 Learn how to shift from constantly proving yourself to deeply honoring yourself.
Because healing doesn’t mean giving up your ambition—it means letting go of what’s not serving you anymore.

💖 If you’re ready to trade burnout for balance, performance for presence, and anxiety for joy—this conversation is your invitation. You don’t have to keep running. You get to return.

Speaker 1 (00:04):
Thank you.
Hello everyone, happy Wednesday.

(00:30):
You are on the Heart of successshow and I'm your host, larissa
vakulina.
I go live every wednesday at 2pm, south australian time zone.
Here on this show, I'm sharingwith you wisdom.
I call it wisdom because whenwe go through different
experiences in our life and alsoon top of this or in between,

(00:52):
we also have some formaleducation and we go through
having the knowledge anddiscovering our wisdom, we can
combine it all and we can createa super knowledgeable or

(01:12):
knowing it all kind of skill.
I call it life skill and wethen can not only create our
lives the way we want and theway we love it, but we also can
help others to do the same.
So today I was thinking to starta discussion about whom do we

(01:36):
really trust, what is our trustabout and how?
We a lot of time don't know howto trust really.
We don't trust ourselves, wedon't trust others, we don't
trust life.
When we do not trust life, wellthen we don't trust at all and

(02:14):
from that not trusting, there'sso much of fear, there's so much
of these doubts, so much ofthese doubts, there's so much of
that trembling feeling insideof us that we can't we freeze

(02:35):
Even if we move.
We have this really high stress, we feel a high anxiety, we
feel this inner anxious, thatalmost like a trembling and

(02:56):
state where we cannot reallyhave constructive thinking
because the mind is always inthat freeze of light state and
it's not having enough capacityto focus and pay attention to
what we really want.

(03:17):
And so it's a very, very deeptopic that I would like to
discuss with you and invite youto share with me your opinion,
because we always have this kindof that inner sense of not

(03:42):
being enough and we always lookup for someone else.
We look up at that external, welook up at the external
authorities.
By the way, let me just getsorry, I'm sorry for that.

(04:04):
Get sorry, I'm sorry for that.
I just need to get into.
Take that off, because thisline was from my previous event
and I didn't have a chance tochange my wording or the moving

(04:24):
line to express correct topicthat I'm talking today.
But anyway, self-authority orthe external authority.
What do you think?
Where do we meet?
What do you think when do wemeet?

(04:47):
Where do we have this balanceand where do we have this
harmony in terms of, in terms ofusing it all.
We have the opinions of others,we have the experts' knowledge
and skills of others and weobtain them.

(05:11):
We go and we learn and we knowa lot.
We have a lot of differenttools, methods and things.
Like I have this fifth year.
I'm talking here every week withyou, sharing some different
little techniques or sharing mystory, sharing my experiences,

(05:33):
sharing what I went through and,uh, how I'm living my life now,
and in hope that you can lookat it and find your own place,
your own authority and say, well, this is really resonates with
me and this is not not.
This is not resonate with mebecause I have different opinion

(05:54):
, I have different experience, Ihave different story in my life
and it doesn't really touch meor it's not resonating with me.
And the beauty of all of ushaving these technological
advances now is to basicallyshare with each other.

(06:14):
And you just find some.
You go to youtube, you go todifferent platforms and you
listen some people and you say,yes, this is uh, the person that
I feel like I resonate with allthe experiences, with all these
stories and skills andknowledge, and all of this seems

(06:37):
like I would like to connectand I would like to tell my
story and share.
So this is really all aboutthat and self-authority and
external authority.
We need to use it both, but wereally need to have that harmony

(07:12):
and balance steps and take thisas my guide in order to improve
my business, improve my health,improve my state.
But at the same time, what I'msaying there's a meeting in the

(07:32):
middle from the external,internal authority guidance and
recommendations and from yourown.
And why I'm talking about it isbecause, from having clients
coming to me with differentintentions and different asking

(07:59):
for help and different issues,what I found that a lot of
people have really imbalancedview or imbalanced clinging and
connection to the externalauthority and they completely

(08:19):
forgot themselves that they havetheir own internal wisdom, they
have their own internal compass, they have IQ, sq, iq, eq and
SQ.
I call it intellectual quadrant, emotional quadrant and

(08:40):
spiritual quadrant.
And if we connect it all, Iknow that are drawing our

(09:02):
attention to the emotionalquadrant as well as the
intellectual, but we're thinkingthat if we connect the
intellectual with our emotions,that's already so great.
It already can help you tobuild your own self-authority,

(09:22):
but it's not all.
So we have to start to connectalso mutual intelligence that is
even more reliable and moreclear or more effective for us
to navigate our lives and, forsome reason, we are creating a

(09:46):
lot of complications in our life.
The life is really simple, butwe tend to complicate it a lot,
and so what I'm saying is startto look at what is your choices,
how your trust level is working.

(10:07):
Is this for the externalauthority?
And just blindly following thisold recommendation and then
thinking, sitting and saying,well, it's really not working
100% for me, or it works only50%, or maybe even not works at
all.
So what I'm inviting you to dois assess your level of trust to

(10:32):
the external authority and thenstart to really tap into the
deepness of who you are.
Your individuation point, yourpersonal, intimate, inner genius
knows it, all, it knows, andyou can use that capacity to

(10:56):
assess all recommendations andall the guidance from the
external authority.
Assess it through resonance,through how your body feels,
through how your spiritualintelligence is supporting or
not supporting, and then eventhat you are creator of your own

(11:17):
life and you need to start tolook at yourself as
individuation, individuateddivinity.
You have this individuatedpoint within you, your genius,
and then you can createintellectual property.
So IP, ip, right, and thenthere's an external authority.

(11:41):
So what I'm saying and invitingyou to do create your own
personal self-authority so thatyou can welcome all the external
knowledge, all the experiences,all the skills, all the
recommendations, guidance, allthese you know, resource lists

(12:03):
and whatever we have there, allof that informational and all of
these tangible resources.
But we always need to start toask our inner self-authority Is
this for me?
Our inner self-authority, isthis for me?
Is this advice really serves me, my inner genius, in a way that

(12:31):
I can actually bring it to thisinside and say, okay, well, I
see this, this insight, and say,okay, well, I see this and I
see this and it will help me, itresonates with me.
I'm going to go and follow, butpossibly maybe not your

(12:53):
internal intelligence, yourspiritual intelligence, your
emotional intelligence, yourlogical intelligence going to
look at all these intelligence,your spiritual intelligence,
your emotional intelligence,your logical intelligence, gonna
to, to look at all theseadvices and recommendations and
create your own way.
Because what I found is that wewe um cling to some people that

(13:15):
we really resonate with and thenwe basically give away our
personal self-authority and wefollow, blindly, hoping that all
of this is going to do wondersand magic for us.
But you know what?
We're all different, we're allunique, different, we're all

(13:44):
unique and we all are absolutebest expression of this divine
plan.
And only you, you have your ownsignature.
You have your own spiritualconstruct and and construct
probably not the right, but yourspiritual makeup that only you
can utilize in the way that youcan create the life you want to

(14:06):
live.
So what really I'm trying tosay here is are you trusting
yourself enough?
Are you trusting your ownwisdom?
You have it, you have it.
Are you trusting these littlesigns that your body sends?

(14:32):
Are you trusting these thoughtsthat come but you suppress it
and thinking, well, that's notbelong to me.
Well, I invite you to start tobe a little bit more sensible.
Like, have that sensitivitytowards your own divine,

(14:55):
integrated, beautiful,intelligent, energy
consciousness system that haveit all.
It has mind, it has heart, ithas soul, and the mind is a very
, very powerful tool.
It's a tool and then connectionto the heart and connection to

(15:18):
your soul, learnings can makewonders.
So why I'm telling you this?
Because I was there.
Now I'm going to do bragging,I'm going to be braggalicious.
Now I'm bragging.
I'm going to be braggaliciousnow, not in terms of like.
I'm just going to be showinghow I'm better than others or

(15:38):
how I'm higher than others.
I'm just going to share withyou where I was, where I was 20
years ago, where I was 25 yearsago.
I was strongly pushing tosuccess.
Every day I wake up, I couldn'tdrop any control of how my
business is doing, what I'mdoing, how I'm talking to people

(16:00):
, what I am controlling andpushing and pushing and pulling.
So I, my company, ranked numberthree fastest growing company
in Australia in 2003.
We've been doing internationaltrading and it was exponential
growth and that growth broughtus to number three fastest
growing company by businessreview weekly.

(16:22):
That's really high ranking.
Then, every year, I wasachieving different business
awards Telstra BusinesswomanAward, ethnic Businesswoman
Award, woman of DistinctionAward.
I was having a number ofdifferent awards.
I've served as an advisoryboard participant on the Reserve

(16:53):
Bank of Australia for threeyears.
So all of these achievements Icreated, I've done it, I've been
there and I know how successfulwomen think and feel.
So I have this type ofauthority to work with business

(17:16):
women.
I already done it all and whatI'm having now not less of
success, I have more successright now, not only I'm running
my sanctuary, askara Sanctuary,on the 89 acres of land and I
host different type of retreatsand I run my own and I have

(17:38):
healing practice.
But success in terms of I haveit all now.
I have this joy, I have thissense of uh, fulfillment, I have
sense of peace, and abundancecomes to me from different

(17:59):
channels, from different levels,all of it.
I have perfect, healthyrelationships with everyone,
with my family, with all thecolleagues, with everyone around
, because I don't really putmyself anymore being super
successful and mega successfuland doing it from that place of

(18:20):
ego and showing off and I'm notseeing myself as less now, less
than mega successfulbusinesswoman.
I am all of it and you are too.
And if now you're only lookingat yourself as having this
really big authority in whatyou're doing but you're not

(18:47):
using yourself authority, wellthen I invite you to start to
look at that.
You may be very, very surprisedat what you will discover.
There there is more power,there is more discernment, there
is more intuition, there ismore navigation and emotional
and spiritual compass that cansave you from conflicts, that

(19:10):
can save you from losing money,from not being effective, from
not losing and wasting yourenergy for creation, for not
losing your motivation andinspiration from having it all
and feel really happy and feeloptimally healthy.

(19:34):
You would create fulfilledrelationships.
And you would create not onlywealth from that place of being
super successful only on oneside, but you will create
aligned wealth.
Only on one side, but you willcreate aligned wealth.

(19:54):
You will create the wealth thatis coming from your inner
genius, from your heart, andthat I can tell you.
This feeling, you cannotcompare it with the success of
any type of external achievement.
There's no comparison, becausewhen you do it from that

(20:16):
external place, you only havethis moment of satisfaction.
When you create it fromyourself and from your basis,
base your creation on yourself-authority, it comes from
you authentically, naturally,organically, that effortless

(20:38):
creation of mega aligned wealth.
Well then, this feeling isabsolutely different and I wish
you all achieve that.
And if you're interested, I'mgoing to run master class, free
one you can jump in.
You cannot, doesn't matter.
It's a free master class thatcan explain for you, step by

(21:01):
step, of how you can achievethat beautiful space and place
of being happy, joyful,fulfilled you have it all and
how you not losing or wastingyour energy.
That will actually feed backyour energetic tank.

(21:25):
It will back your inspirationaltank fully.
This I can guarantee you.
