What if awakening isn't a single dramatic moment, but a lifelong process of becoming? On I Awaken, host Niharika talks with clinical herbalist Bonnie D'Arcangelo about consciousness, self-doubt, and nervous system healing.

Bonnie shares why small, consistent practices like breathwork matter more than grand rituals, and how facing our inner doubts is often the real work of waking up.

About the Guest:

Bonnie D'Arcangelo is a clinical herbalist and holistic health consultant based in Michigan. She works with clients on healing journeys and nervous system health, and also speaks and writes about spiritual awakening and consciousness.

Key Takeaways:

• Awakening is a gradual process, not one dramatic moment
• Notice inner doubt before it quietly blocks your goals
• Set an hourly reminder to pause, breathe, and reset
• Break big goals into small steps your body can sustain
• Make progress feel pleasurable, not punishing, so it sticks
• Confidence comes from experience, not waiting until you feel ready
