About this episode

This week's Muse is Maya Bhyer, 3x founder who knows firsthand the power of resilience and alignment in the entrepreneurial journey. From building a key exchange platform for Airbnb hosts to a venture at the intersection of neuroscience and mental health, Maya has courageously pivoted each time to follow her true calling.


In this episode, I fully hand over the mic to her to share her story uninterrupted, with all the challenges she faced along the way. She shares how the hardest decision in her life turned into the best and triggered her whole awakening. Now, as the co-founder and CEO of World of Enlighten, she’s on a mission to connect people with wellness practitioners for holistic healing and personal growth.


You can find Maya on social media here and visit her digital playground for self-discovery World of Enlighten.
