After Working with Deepak Chopra, I Learned This
Clarity Moves Faster When You’re Surrounded by the Right People.
When I look back at some of the most meaningful moments in my career, one that always stands out is the time I spent at Chopra Global, helping evolve Deepak Chopra’s legacy brand for a new generation. This was a 25-year-old organization rooted in mindfulness, Ayurveda, and personal transformation, and my role was to help identify what was next. To find the voices, the faces, and the conversations that would bring the wisdom of this work into the world in a way that felt alive, relevant, and accessible.
It was an incredible honor to collaborate with some of the most gifted teachers, doctors, and practitioners across traditions and modalities. But what struck me the most wasn’t their titles or their accolades. It was the fact that, without fail, each of them had experienced some sort of reckoning. A moment that cracked them open and made it impossible to keep living the same way.
That moment is what set everything in motion.
And when I think about our community now, I know many of you have had your version of that. Maybe it was an illness. Maybe it was heartbreak. Maybe it was something subtle—a whisper you couldn’t ignore. Whatever it was, it asked you to pay attention, and it changed you.
But here’s the part we don’t talk about enough: after that moment comes the long, quiet season of trying to figure out what to do with it. How to translate that experience into a business. How to talk about your work in a way that feels true. How to grow without selling your soul. And most importantly, how to keep going when it feels like no one fully sees what you’re capable of.
That’s why we created our very first Healers Space Challenge.
This 4-week experience is a space to return to your “why.” To reconnect with your story, not the version you polished for a website, but the one that lives in your bones. The one that will ground your offers, clarify your voice, and attract the people who are already looking for what you uniquely bring.
One of our members recently shared that after months of uncertainty, things are finally falling into place. She’s stepping into a new role as a school-based mindfulness instructor, an opportunity that mirrors the guidance Darryl Gaines offered her during one of our monthly astrology calls. At the same time, she’s begun an initiation journey with an Ecuadorian shaman, deepening her work with plant medicine and indigenous cosmology.
Her message was a beautiful reminder: when you take just one aligned step and you’re held in a space that sees you and supports you, things begin to move. Synchronicities accelerate. Clarity returns. The next door opens. And you’re no longer walking alone.
That’s what this challenge is about.
We begin on September 7th, and registration closes August 31st. It’s free for all founding members and includes two live calls, weekly assignments, real-time feedback, and the kind of visibility and momentum that can shift your relationship with your business from stuck to steady.
If you’ve been feeling a little lost in the noise, unsure what to say, or how to evolve, I want you with us.
We’re not meant to do this work alone.
With love,
Darlene
