What if your body already knows the life you’re meant to live—and it’s been trying to tell you all along?
In this episode of Life Mystic, Maira sits down with Celina Gorre, CEO of WomenHeart, global health leader, and lifelong seeker, to explore how grief, illness, embodiment, and intuition can become powerful guides rather than obstacles. Celina shares how losing her mother at 18 shaped her devotion to living fully, how a heart disease diagnosis transformed her advocacy and leadership, and why refusing to live someone else’s dream may be one of the most radical acts of self-care.
Together, Maira and Celina dive into somatics, mysticism in everyday life, Filipino American identity, and what it means to cultivate a respectful, listening relationship with the body—especially in a culture that teaches us to override it.
In this episode, you’ll hear about:
- How grief and diagnosis can become medicine rather than limitations
- What it means to feel “fully yourself” in the body—not just the mind
- Living mysticism through nature, slowness, and everyday awareness
- Leading with integrity, compassion, and regulation in women’s health
This conversation is an invitation to slow down, breathe deeper, and remember: life isn’t just about surviving—it’s about inhabiting your body, your values, and your joy, one conscious choice at a time.
This podcast wasn't always called Healing For Grown Ass Adults. A year and a half ago, when I started recording and preparing this podcast, it was called Life Mystic. As you listen to this episode, know that I was going through the process of figuring out how to be me in an expression different from my role as a somatic therapist and psychedelic medicine practitioner. I invite you to listen to this conversation with an open mind and an understanding that we are all always in process.
