Biet Simkin on How to Awaken Your Soul When Life Breaks You
Passion Struck with John R. Miles
In this raw and revealing conversation, Biet Simkin opens up about losing her mother, her child, and her way—then finding herself through sobriety, spirituality, and sound. From rock-bottom addiction to becoming a globally respected meditation guide, Biet shows how even life's darkest moments can become portals to awakening.
Together, John and Biet explore:
- Why Biet believes suffering is not something to run from—but something to learn from
- The moment she lost everything—and how it led to radical transformation
- How sobriety became a technicolor awakening
- The connection between meditation, music, and mattering
- How to stop chasing external validation and reclaim your life from the inside out
