We all know those moments when we feel: Something in our lives is not in alignment with who we truly are. That is exactly where our latest podcast conversation with Jackie Freitag begins.

Jackie speaks openly about her past: eating disorders, pressure to perform, the constant feeling of "not being enough."

She shares how she broke free from these patterns – and what self-empowerment means to her. Her journey shows that it is possible to heal old wounds and reshape your life from the heart and your true essence.

Mischa brings in the perspective of cacao: For us, ceremonial cacao is not just a drink. It is a gateway – to greater awareness, connection, and inner clarity. Especially in a society that carries so much trauma, it can be a gentle companion.

In this conversation, you will learn:

• Why we live in a "traumatized society"
• What self-empowerment can look like in practice
• Which turning points shaped Jackie
• The role femininity and healing play in her work
• Why cacao is an integral part of this path
