Navigating the Space Between with Dani Van de Velde

About this episode

Dani Van de Velde discusses her journey from a successful finance career to becoming a meditation teacher and intuitive healer, emphasizing the importance of listening to one's soul and navigating spiritual awakening.

Dani Van de Velde, meditation teacher, intuitive healer, and author of Spirited, reveals that sometimes the whisper you keep ignoring isn't doubt—it's your soul asking for attention. She opens up about walking away from a successful finance career spanning continents when the dissonance became unbearable, navigating spiritual awakening when the people around you don't understand, and discovering that meditation isn't just wellness—it's the shift from living reactively to living responsively. This conversation explores the space between imagination and psychic perception, why our sensitivity gets shut down and how to reopen it, and the courage it takes to trust what you're feeling even when it doesn't make rational sense.
