The Spirit of Survival: Mambo Sandy on Healing, Vodou, and Overcoming Trauma 01/29/2025

The Spirit of Survival: Mambo Sandy on Healing, Vodou, and Overcoming Trauma Happy New Year, everyone! I missed you all in December, but I’m back with the first episode of the new year, and it's a multilayered rollercoaster of a conversation you won’t want to miss! In this episode, I sit down with Mambo Sandy, a Vodou Priestess, psychic medium, and healer who has overcome more than most could imagine. Raised by her great-grandmother, a natural witch, Sandy’s journey is one of survival, resilience, and spiritual awakening. From losing her grandmother at just 15, to couch surfing, working as a stripper, and ultimately finding her true calling as a healer, Sandy's story is a testament to the power of intuition and transformation. We also dive deep into Sandy’s experiences with Vodou, debunk the common myths surrounding it, and explore its true purpose as a healing practice—plus, we’ll touch on the connection between spirituality and everyday survival.
