Last week we teased
Quantum Peak, and this week, we go
all in. Carly and Lauren sit down with Julia Brodska, founder of
Best Life-ing, and what starts as a casual conversation turns into an unexpectedly powerful journey. We talk trauma, transformation, and yes, Carly cries (again).
Julia opens up about her path from rock bottom to leading global healing retreats, including her biggest one yet—right here at
Garden of the Gods Resort. We explore why Colorado Springs is such a magnet for energy work, what actually
happens at a hypnotherapy retreat, and how science and spirituality are teaming up to help people change from the inside out.
We even get treated to a guided meditation that left us… well, breathing a little deeper. If you’ve ever questioned whether real change is possible, or wondered if there’s something more waiting for you, this episode might be your invitation to find it.
