The Courage to Pause: What a “Soulbattical” Can Teach You About Change with Tina Bruce
Description
You know that feeling when everything that used to make sense suddenly stops working? When your work feels heavy, your confidence wobbles, and something inside whispers, it’s time for change?
That’s exactly where today’s guest, Tina Bruce, found herself. Tina Bruce is an author, speaker, breathwork facilitator, eco-retreat leader, intuitive coach, death walker, spinal energetics practitioner, and yoga teacher. For more than two decades, she has walked the path of wellbeing, first through science, working as a clinical cardiac technician in medical devices, and later through soul, as a guide for those seeking deeper healing and connection.
After years leading yoga, breathwork, and retreats, she reached a point where her soul called for something deeper. What followed was a radical act of surrender, a “Soulbattical”, as she calls it, a complete pause to reconnect with her truth. That journey led her into the wilderness, where she undertook a powerful Vision Quest: four days and four nights alone in nature, fasting, praying, and surrendering to the wisdom of the land.
In this episode, Tina opens up about how she followed that inner call, even when it meant walking away from everything familiar. She shares her profound vision quest experience, her reflections on ego death, and how she’s redefining what wellness and success truly mean.
We talk about the shadow side of the wellness industry, the fear of slowing down, and the deep trust it takes to let life lead. It’s raw, soulful, and full of wisdom for anyone standing at their own crossroads.
