This episode is all about life transitions, identity, mental health, and holistic healing. I’m speaking with a former design coworker turned transformation and life coach, Misha Volf. Misha’s work is rooted in helping people navigate major life transitions with purpose, resilience, and authenticity. They are the founder and programming director of The Queens Well, a yoga and holistic wellness studio in Queens, New York, where they design and lead learning experiences focused on personal growth, collective healing, and spiritual transformation. Their approach weaves together coaching, somatics, design thinking, and spirituality, offering a holistic path for those seeking healing and growth. Whether you’re navigating a major life transition, exploring your gender identity or sexuality, or seeking to deepen your understanding and support for the LGBTQIA+ community, this episode is for you.

Trigger Warning: We dive into some tough topics including alcohol and drug addiction, escorting, abuse, trauma, suicide, and self-harm. These discussions can be intense, so please take care while listening and make sure you’re in the right headspace. Resources are linked below if you or someone you know needs support. You are not alone. <3

In this episode, I’m joined by Australian Content Creator and Podcast Host Paris Le Maistre, the voice behind Sh*ts F*cked - a show unapologetically dedicated to breaking the stigma around addiction and mental health. Paris opens up about her deeply personal journey through alcohol and drug addiction, her past work as an escort, and the road to reclaiming her life through sobriety, therapy, and healing. We talk about the habits and mindset shifts that keep her grounded today, the power of sharing your truth, and what it really means to start over when you feel stuck. She also shares advice for anyone struggling in silence, plus some of her favorite books that helped her along the way. Paris is now using her voice and vulnerability to support others navigating recovery from a peer-based perspective. This conversation is one you won’t want to miss.
