Have you ever paused long enough to ask — why am I here? In this deeply reflective conversation, meditation teacher, somatic educator, and mystic Annette Knopp invites us back to one of life's most profound questions: how do we heal the parts of ourselves that have been waiting for our attention?
Annette shares how mindfulness opens the inner space we need to turn toward those unhealed places — with presence, curiosity, and compassion. Healing, she reminds us, isn't something we find outside of ourselves. It has been within us all along. And when we do the quiet, courageous work of going inward, we naturally become a steadier presence for those around us too — holding the rope, as she puts it, so others can find their own way back.
This episode is an invitation to recognize your own “okayness” — to peel back the layers, return to yourself, and rediscover your soul.
Annette and her husband Stephan are the founders of Blue Spirit, a renowned retreat center in Costa Rica. She is the author of the newly released book Mystic Nomad.
