S1E19 - Arielle Schmidt’s Transformation From Stressed Corrections Officer to Holistic Healer

Welcome to another transformative episode of Travel Not to Escape. Today, we are honored to have Arielle Schmidt, the Founder of Tranquility Rising, sharing her incredible journey from a high-stress career as a corrections officer to finding inner peace and launching her own business. Join us as Arielle unfolds the powerful lessons she learned during her life-changing trip to India and how she turned her epiphany into Tranquility Rising. On this episode, we cover: From South Dakota to India: Arielle's transformative journey started as a stressed corrections officer in South Dakota. One yoga class led her to an unexpected 30-day trip to India, reshaping her perspective on life. Mindfulness Practices Turned Life-Altering Epiphany Arielle takes us through the challenging yet enlightening experiences of silent meditation, yoga, and Thai massage during her travels. This led to Arielle's realization about numbing her emotions and her existing toxic lifestyle, setting the stage for a complete life change. A Full Body Hell Yes: Arielle's decision to embark on the yoga training in India, despite uncertainties, and the concept of embracing the "full body yes" even in uncomfortable situations. This Hell Yes feeling later led to the pivotal moment when Arielle confronted her fears, set a timeline to leave her job, and opened Tranquility Rising to follow her true calling. Create Richness in Memories: Arielle's message on the importance of creating richness in memories, friendships, and experiences as you follow your path.
