More from Maureen about this episode…
I’m thrilled to bring Serena Arora to Mystical Sisterhood®! She is a breath of fresh air in these times AND her story had me hanging on to each and every word. Serena is the author of Unbound and the founder of a retreat center in Costa Rica. She specializes in personal transformation work (based on her own and her trainings), yoga, and Ayurvedic therapies. Serena bravely shares her story of being an immigrant and finding her way and also of her own process in healing. So many times, someone who takes a stage will present a fully healed picture of themselves yet Serena owns where she has done her work and what remains for her. I find that incredibly relatable because this work is not one and done! It’s lifelong commitment and I’m here for it. What about you?
