In this deeply moving and transformative episode of the Rough Draft Podcast, host Sabrina sits down with author, entrepreneur, integrated health practitioner, and transformational mentor Vanessa Grutman.

To mark the launch of her new book, Born With This Light, Vanessa shares her personal evolution—from navigating burnout after selling her multi-seven-figure business to stepping into her true purpose as founder of The Golden Alchemist and Golden Alchemy. Together, Sabrina and Vanessa dive into what it truly takes to dismantle the old paradigm of success, shift out of hustle culture, listen to the wisdom of the body, and step into effortless flow, ease, and alignment.
