What happens when the life you've carefully built no longer resonates with your soul? In this deeply moving episode of Honest Feedback , we sit down with medicine woman and retreat facilitator Dayana Mendoza (@dayanamendoza.us ), who shares her extraordinary journey from trauma to transformation. Born during the Pablo Escobar era in Colombia and raised amid violence and loss, Dayana was working as a butcher by the age of 12. She immigrated to the U.S. at 17, eventually building a life that looked like success on paper: career at Apple, marriage, children, but felt empty inside. "I was surrounded with so many people… and I felt so lonely," she says. We talk about the courage it takes to step away from the familiar, the heartbreak of outgrowing relationships, and the sacred process of re-remembering who you are. Dayana walks us through the threshold moment that changed everything, when she left her job, her marriage, and her social circles to walk the unknown path of healing. Through the wisdom of plant medicine—especially ayahuasca—Dayana reconnected to her purpose and ancestral roots. What followed was a complete rebirth. This episode is a powerful transmission on: What true transformation really looks like Healing beyond talk therapy and into the body The difference between processing and actual change Walking away from what no longer resonates, even when it looks “perfect” The power of trusting the unknown (especially when it makes no sense) Dayana's story will stir something deep inside you. Whether you're navigating a rock bottom or feeling the pull toward your next level, this is your reminder that healing isn’t a destination—it’s a decision to honor what your soul already knows.
