Intro by Neeti Keswani, host of the Luxury Unplugged Podcast:
Welcome to another powerful episode of the Luxury Unplugged Podcast, where luxury meets soul, and spirituality integrates seamlessly with real life.
Today’s wisdom insight is a special feature on emotional wellness — and it’s not just about feeling good. It’s about healing trauma, finding balance, and creating a purposeful, fulfilling life from the inside out.
We are joined by the incredible Ulrika Karlsson, who has lived the journey from depression and suicidal tendencies to becoming a spiritual life coach, yoga therapist, author, and feminine leadership mentor. Her transformation is not only inspiring, but a reminder: If she can do it, you can too.
Q1: Neeti, why is balancing the spiritual and material so important in today’s world?
Neeti Keswani:
We live in a hyper-productive, externally-driven world. Yet deep down, most people are seeking peace, fulfillment, and meaning. That’s where spirituality comes in — not as an escape, but as a foundation.
Balancing spiritual and material life means:
- You build your career and also your consciousness.
- You chase goals, but stay connected to your inner peace.
- You live in the world, but not be consumed by it.
This balance is the true luxury — where outer success meets inner serenity.
Q2: How did Ulrika release trauma from her body and turn her life around?
Neeti Keswani:
Ulrika’s journey is truly moving. From years of being trapped in depression and suicidal ideation, she began exploring body-based healing techniques like:
- Yoga and Yoga Therapy
- Breathwork and Meditation
- Emotional Release Practices
- Spiritual Teachings and Feminine Leadership Coaching
Instead of numbing the pain, she listened to it.
Trauma doesn’t just sit in the mind — it lives in the body. Ulrika learned to release suppressed emotions through deep somatic work. And eventually, she found her purpose in guiding other women toward healing, peace, and power.
Q3: Many people ask — can I become a life coach if I still need therapy myself?
Neeti Keswani:
Yes. Your journey doesn’t have to be perfect to serve others.
Ulrika is proof of this. She didn’t wait until her life was flawless. Instead, she transformed her wounds into wisdom. That is what makes her a powerful coach — her ability to hold space for others with empathy, because she’s been there.
In fact, some of the best coaches and healers are those who have navigated real emotional pain. Healing and coaching can go hand-in-hand — as long as you continue to evolve with integrity and self-awareness.
Q4: How can we begin to release emotions trapped in the body?
Neeti Keswani:
Start small. Here are a few tools that helped Ulrika and can help you too:
- Breathwork: Deep conscious breathing helps move stuck energy.
- Embodied Movement or Yoga: Not for fitness, but for feeling.
- Journaling & Emotional Inquiry: Ask your body what it’s holding.
- Sound Healing or Guided Meditation: Allows the nervous system to relax and reset.
- Work with a Trauma-informed Coach or Therapist.
You don’t need to have it all figured out. You just need to start listening to your body, and honor its messages.
Q5: What advice does Ulrika offer for women who want to live more authentically and peacefully?
Neeti Keswani:
Ulrika shares that most women in leadership or high-performance roles are disconnected from their feminine energy. She urges women to:
- Stop “doing” all the time and learn to be.
- Make space for rest, stillness, and spiritual connection.
- Let go of perfectionism and embrace being human.
- Reclaim softness, intuition, and truth.
Living authentically isn’t about a title — it’s about alignment with your true essence.
Conclusion:
If you’re holding onto emotional pain or trauma, or feel torn between your spiritual side and your material goals — this episode is for you. Ulrika Karlsson’s story is a living testament that healing is possible.
And not just healing — thriving, rising, and leading with grace is possible too.
So ask yourself: What if your pain became your power? What if your story became your strength?
