Transformation begins when we reconnect with the deeper layers of who we are. It starts when life cracks us open just enough to feel, to listen, and to reconnect with what makes us come alive. This episode explores how pain might become a catalyst for awakening and how heart alignment can lead toward our highest potential.
The episode reflects on the rhythm of growth, the importance of connection, and the courage it can take to live with both feet in the present. For anyone standing on the edge of change, this conversation offers a glimpse of what expansion might look like when we stop striving and start allowing.
Yasmina Ellins
Yasmina Ellins is the secret weapon behind some of the world’s most visionary leaders, artists, and impact-driven innovators. With laser-sharp intuition and disarming presence, she guides them to grow their wealth, expand their influence, and create a life that feels like magic.
She wasn’t born magnetic. Once a painfully shy girl who hid in the library to avoid speaking to her classmates, Yasmina Ellins spent years trying to figure out how to belong. She tried all kinds of things to feel seen — learning the Rubik’s cube, becoming a magician. Nothing worked. But everything changed at sixteen when she typed “how to get charisma” into Google. That moment sparked a lifelong journey of transformation — and a mission to help others feel the connection she once craved
Today, Yasmina is a Cambridge University graduate, sought-after TEDx speaker, bestselling co-author with the Founder of Reebok, and co-creator of the Maverick NEXT Impact Award, which brought rising entrepreneurs to Sir Richard Branson’s private island for mentorship with global business icons.
Beyond business, Yasmina is a creative at heart. A classically trained musician from the Royal College of Music, she has performed at the Pantheon in Rome and live on BBC Radio. She has a deep love for acting, improv comedy, bachata dancing and storytelling — and writes songs, poetry and prose to capture the human experience.
She’s learned 8 languages and loves to travel the world to connect with different cultures — everything from living with nuns in Italy to dining with royalty in the Palace of Versailles.
Whether through music, movement, or meaningful relationships, Yasmina believes connection is the true catalyst for limitless impact.
