Your Well Life by Misha Vayner
Raw storytelling. Real healing. Radical self-acceptance.
Welcome to Your Well Life, where we peel back the layers of surface-level fixes and dive deep into the heart of real healing, alignment, and living fully alive.
I’m Misha Vayner—a mom of three, trauma-informed health and life coach, and truth-teller on a lifelong healing journey. Here, we get real about what it means to reclaim your most authentic self, break generational patterns, and find flow in the messiness of motherhood.
Each episode, I share raw, unpolished stories from my own path and the courageous journeys of others. We talk about trauma healing, nervous system nourishment, holistic well-being, and navigating the beautiful chaos of motherhood with grace and grit.
Because I believe that sacred storytelling is medicine. When we speak our truth, we heal. When we witness others, we remember we’re not alone. And when we stop performing and start being, our lives transform.
