In this powerful and heart-opening episode, I sit down with Esther Heese, a soul-based resilience mentor from Las Palma who has dedicated more than 30 years to helping people navigate life’s greatest uncertainties.
Esther’s mission is to inspire others to find peace, clarity, and strength — even when life feels like it’s falling apart. She guides people through what she calls soul-based alignment, helping them reconnect with their intuition and build unshakable resilience from the inside out. Her signature program, The Harmony Map, is designed to support people through deep transformation by first calming the nervous system, then using mindfulness, meditation, and inner awareness to create lasting balance.
But Esther’s wisdom didn’t come from theory- it was forged through personal experience. In her early years as a mother, her baby became gravely ill, and after two agonizing weeks of uncertainty, doctors finally found the cause. That period taught her a powerful truth: no matter how much we try to control life, real peace comes from surrender, not control.
Years later, Esther built a thriving therapy practice, guiding couples toward conscious relationships rooted in understanding and authenticity. Yet, just before Christmas, after 20 years of marriage, her husband revealed he was leaving. That moment — followed by the loss of close friendships and her mother’s passing — sent her into a breakdown. She couldn’t eat or sleep, and her entire sense of stability crumbled.
From that darkness came a profound shift. Esther began to reframe her pain...not as something going wrong, but as an opportunity for transformation. She discovered that when we stop resisting what life brings, we create space for healing, purpose, and renewal.
One of the most moving moments of her story came years later when she stood and watched, from a distance, as lava consumed her home. Everything she owned — every material possession — was gone. Yet, she remained calm. She trusted that life had something better in store. And she was right. She found a new home, a new sense of peace, and love again.
Today, Esther lives as a walking example of the power of trust, embodiment, and surrender. Her story reminds us that life isn’t meant to be controlled — it’s meant to be experienced, and that even in the midst of uncertainty, we can find harmony, meaning, and magic.
If you’re ready to be inspired, grounded, and reminded that you are never alone on your journey, this episode is for you.
