60. The Spiritual Startup: Building a Business with Soul and Surrender
In this soulful episode of A Mystic in the City, I sit down with Dr. Nicole Nasr - therapist, speaker, and founder of Journey, a platform dedicated to connecting therapists to each other and to the clients who need them most.But this conversation is far from conventional.We explore what it really means to build something - not just from a business perspective, but from a deeply spiritual one.Nicole shares how creating Journey was less about structure and strategy, and more about surrender: trusting in the unknown, flowing with the twists and turns, and allowing the universe to guide the process.We also dive into the spiritual side of therapy and how Nicole helps her clients go beyond the surface and into deeper explorations of past lives, reincarnation, and soul evolution.For her, therapy is not just about healing the mind, but awakening the spirit.This episode is an invitation to trust, to surrender, and to see your path - whether as a founder, a healer, or a human - as a sacred journey.
