We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Mandy Valadez. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Mandy below.

Hi Mandy , thanks for joining us today. Often the greatest growth and the biggest wins come right after a defeat. Other times the failure serves as a lesson that’s helpful later in your journey. We’d appreciate if you could open up about a time you’ve failed

Escaping a cult could definitely be a downfall for someone wanting to create a successful life of their own. But that is exactly what I did. It wasn’t easy. I left a toxic environment(cult) in 2018. The only real community I had known for almost 20 yrs. Being completely shunned and moving away on my own created many setbacks. There was days I thought it wouldn’t work. Here I was in my early 30’s coming into a society I had been isolated from for so many years. But I didn’t stay down. I had 2 children that I knew I had to prove to them that anything is possible! And I did.

As always, we appreciate you sharing your insights and we’ve got a few more questions for you, but before we get to all of that can you take a minute to introduce yourself and give our readers some of your back background and context?

I’m Mandy, an energy reader, channel & light worker. When I personally began holistic and energy healing I had no idea what it was. But my body felt the affects right way. Holistic-energy healing connects you with your emotions and soul. It healed me on such a spiritual level. I knew there had to be others out there that would benefit from having that soul support. Our subconscious & inner healing truly creates our reality. So it only makes sense that if we can choose to go within & heal our inner world/inner child. We will noticeably see changes in our outer world.

I first began my small business as a tarot/energy reader. One thing I began to notice right away is that so many of the messages for my clients were basically their soul/inner child calling out for healing. I was able to channel those messages to them. Which gave them hope and validation.

Today, I help guide clients as a soul guide through energy readings, oracles, & channeled messages from their higher self. So many love to have that extra support on a soul level.

I have worked with clients all over the world including Canada, Bosnia, Australia, Israel, and more!

My work is a holistic approach with a spiritual setting. My work is an addition not a substitute for any other soul guidance.
All my sessions are done via zoom.

To read the words and messages I have received from clients is the best part! Knowing that for some that have felt they have “tried it all”. Just know that having an energy reading isn’t some “scary” out-of -date thing. You can actually gain wisdom, encouragement, & motivation to keep on going.

I also have a podcast where I have began to interview survivors or clients to share their stories and journeys.

What’s a lesson you had to unlearn and what’s the backstory?

Not Believing in myself. I really think so many of us can get here. Where we feel we are not making a difference or making an impact. We start a business and then don’t see the results we would’ve hoped. But I knew if I had been able to the thrive after so many setbacks. I could prove my own doubts wrong by believing in myself. Soon I began to receive messages and words from so many. Word after word showed and revealed to me how much I had in fact helped so many. And had guided many to learn more about themselves on a soul level which gave them the inspiration for growth in their own life journey.
Always believe in yourself. You are your number one fan after all.

Have you ever had to pivot?

After escaping a cult I felt I had to learn to adapt to a society and culture that I had not been allowed to associate with. And also heal the traumas I had endured on top of all that. It was such a monumental effort.
I learned that change doesn’t have to detour your direction it only gives you a new scenery.
