We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Cynthia Dugger a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.

Alright, Cynthia thanks for taking the time to share your stories and insights with us today. Was there a defining moment in your professional career? A moment that changed the trajectory of your career?

I have several ‘defining moments’ that lead me to finding and following my soul’s purpose in life. However, my healing path and entry point to my Spiritual Awakening happened during my pursuit of my Yoga Certification in December of 2018. I decided to pursue my YTT with no real expected outcome to achieving it. My profession at the time, required extensive travel; domestic and international, and my ability to commit to any outside hobbies or passion pursuit, was simply not possible. The decision was a bit of an impulse decision, which I now know was my Higher Self showing me the path. I booked an intensive immersion approach where you achieve the YTT in 21 days in Costa Rica.
What I wasnt expecting, is the process to receive this accreditation – is more so spiritual than physical.
Everyday, I became increasingly aware of my self-abuse through controlling behaviors, lack of boundaries and frankly just accepting less than I deserved. I made a promise to myself that I was going to begin showing myself self love, and with that I changed the entire trajectory of my life.
I ended my 9 yr twin flame relationship that no longer served me. I sold my home and moved 45 minutes from my home town and began my healing journey.
3 yrs later, I healed enough to overcome the fears and limiting beliefs to leave the Corporate IT industry and start my healing & yoga retreat business Cynful Peace. Through letting go of my self-judgment, I found peace in all of my sins.

Cynthia, love having you share your insights with us. Before we ask you more questions, maybe you can take a moment to introduce yourself to our readers who might have missed our earlier conversations?

I am a spiritual light worker. I am committed to spreading positivity, healing, and spiritual growth in the world. I have tapped into my special gifts and have a calling to work with spiritual energy to help others to heal themselves, transform, and evolve.
I am dedicated to bringing light and consciousness to the world through my work, whether it’s through meditation & yoga practices, energy healing, counseling, or other forms of service.
I am deeply committed to my own spiritual growth, meditation & yoga practice, prayer, breath-work, Reiki, plant medicines or other spiritual practices to deepen my connection to the divine.
I believe the collective’s soul purpose in life is to heal through our life experiences.
My mission is to guide you through this process by teaching core principles in life, with the tools to heal yourself.
My go to market approach is focused on hosting purpose-driven retreats; woman’s, men’s, mother/child and couples retreats. In addition I offer remote 1:1 yoga, meditation and life coaching sessions.
We will immerse ourselves into understanding Energy and how is resides in your Chakra System as stored emotions causing blockage – which results in emotional, mental and physical discomfort or disease.

Other than training/knowledge, what do you think is most helpful for succeeding in your field?

Being a spiritual light worker, I have accepted this role knowing that success will come with leading my thoughts, words and actions with my heart. The ego kept me “safe” in my unhealed version of myself…so the moment by moment perseverance of remaining vulnerable and authentic to “inspire” others to begin or continue their healing journey is the only way to succeed. To convey this to the collective, requires leveraging social media platforms like TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and LinkedIn to spread light and provide relatable content to inspire others to pursue this path of self-discovery.

Can you open up about how you managed the initial funding?

Throughout the years of my IT profession, I set aside savings to pursue my manifestations in life. I dreamt of the day where I could pursue something meaningful in life. When I finally quit my comfortably, uncomfortable profession, I began leveraging this savings to begin building this business. As time as gone on, and my spirituality has become deeper in connection with the divine; abundance and everything I need, when I need it, simply comes to me. I know what this sounds like, but I am just speaking my Truth.
