One of the biggest challenges I face in my work is bridging the gap between scientific understanding and holistic healing in a way that resonates with a broader audience. The world is still catching up to integrating neuroscience with somatic and energetic practices, so I often face resistance or skepticism from those unfamiliar with this synthesis. Additionally, building sustainable community support systems that maintain the momentum of healing and empowerment work is challenging, as this requires both time and deeply committed resources. A significant challenge in my work is navigating a social culture that promotes a lifestyle centered on constant consumption and superficial ideals, often touted as the “dream life.” Many people numb themselves through various means, from substances to material distractions, to escape from deeper truths and emotions. This cultural narrative makes it challenging to encourage authentic healing and self-discovery, as it requires individuals to break away from conditioned behaviors that don’t serve their well-being or the collective good. Another challenge is overcoming the limited accessibility to holistic and transformative healing practices, particularly in underserved communities. Resources are often scarce, and many people who would benefit most are either unaware of these tools or lack access. Additionally, shifting deeply ingrained beliefs around self-worth and empowerment requires a supportive environment that many may not have, making it harder to create lasting impact. Balancing the need for sustainable income with making these practices widely accessible is also an ongoing challenge.
