Healing the Hustle: Hypnosis, Meditation, and Business as a Path to Growth with Manjit Devgun
In this episode of The Live Thrivingly Podcast, we sit down with Manjit Devgun, a meditation teacher, hypnotist, sound healer, and spiritual guide, to explore her transformational journey. Born into a Sikh family rich with the traditions of peaceful warriors, Manjit grew up surrounded by stories of perseverance, equality, and inner strength. From an early age, she was introduced to healing and spiritual practices by her family, which paved the way for her remarkable work in modern mindfulness and self-healing.
Manjit’s journey has been anything but linear—from being a singer-songwriter who "felt God" through music at age 11 to transitioning into a leader in meditation and hypnosis after an unexpected vocal injury. She shares how she overcame personal and cultural limitations to create a thriving practice that bridges ancient wisdom with modern science.
