Hey Supercharged Entrepreneurs,
Zurlia here. I want to thank Mark for letting me share this story with you.
In 2020, I had what many would call a “dream life”
#1 saleswoman at Tesla, a 6-figure+ publishing agency business, a bestselling book (The Hidden Patterns of a Successful Mind), and I was happily married (or so I thought).
And just when I thought my life couldn’t get any better…
I got divorced and everything came crashing down with a bang.
Deep inside, I was falling apart (and I didn’t even know it). My divorce was the earthquake that shattered the façade I’d built.
Suddenly, I found myself heartbroken, purposeless, and depressed.
I tried all the usual healing and self-improvement paths:
Self-help books that promised big but delivered little beyond trite platitudes
Motivational seminars that fired me up for a week, then left me crashing back into old patterns
Traditional therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy methods that treated surface symptoms, not root causes
Even desperate measures like numbing myself with Prozac and Xanax to find temporary relief.
But I kept slipping back into the same crappy patterns, mindset traps, and self-destructive behaviors.
I soon realized mental health struggles were way more common for entrepreneurs than I thought…
Dr. Michael A. Freeman at the University of California, San Francisco, published a groundbreaking research piece called “Are Entrepreneurs Touched With Fire?”…
In there, Dr. Michael Freeman revealed a huge mental health epidemic among entrepreneurs that nobody talks about:
A whopping 72 out of every 100 entrepreneurs deal with mental health conditions like depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, or addiction issues.
3 in 10 suffer from depression or ADHD
1 in 9 from bipolar disorders
1 in 8 from addiction issues
1 in 4 got it from families with those challenges
We're way more likely to be juggling multiple mental health problems at once too.
Around a third of entrepreneurs had two or more mental issues going on simultaneously.
And get this - almost 1 out of every 5 were battling three or more mental health issues!
It’s undeniable…
Being an entrepreneur not only takes a toll on our mental health and relationships but could also impact future generations to come.
So, I did what everyone else out there does in this situation.
I started looking for a way out.
And that’s when my neighbor and friend dragged me to an Ayahuasca ceremony. I had no idea what I was getting into, but decided to give it a try.
8 hours later, I was reborn.
I woke up feeling light, aligned, and whole
All my big existential questions? Answered
Old parts of me died – I felt like shedding decades of ingrained traumas (I suffered from sexual abuse as a child), mental blocks, and limiting beliefs.
I finally understood what “We are all one” means
I discovered that suffering is a choice
I learned that the ultimate power lies in the hands of those who dare to love the most.
This sacred plant medicine not only helped me heal from depression, anxiety, and past traumas.
But also empowered me to break free from self-limiting beliefs, abandon scarcity mindsets, and scale my agency to multi-six figures in 2021 without burning out, sacrificing my sanity or inner peace.
Since the very first ceremony, the medicine called me to serve, but I refused the call because I was really scared.
That all changed when I met my Soul brother, Rapha.
As a member of the Cofán Tribe with over 17+ years of experience, Rapha saw something in me and welcomed me to the tribe. He put me through the most intense and wild training of my life LOL.
Fast forward 5 years…
I´m on a mission to build a world of healed entrepreneurs, creators, and high-achievers so they can find clarity, meaning, and inner peace.
Just like I did.
And that’s why we built the Beyond The Self Ayahuasca Retreat Experience.
So, if you like how ALL this sounds, and you’re ready to experience a profound transformation in the safest, most nurturing, and idyllic environment…
