In this soul-stirring episode of the Happy CEO Podcast, we explore Taylor Kornegay’s spiritual awakening. A powerful journey that began after a traumatic brain injury and unfolded through astrology, breathwork, and deep inner healing. Taylor, a spiritual astrologer, breathwork facilitator, and yoga instructor, joins Dr. Jessica Emery to share how trusting her gifts, embracing sobriety, and living from the heart changed her life from the inside out.

Trusting Your Gifts Before You Feel Ready

Taylor speaks openly about imposter syndrome and the pressure to feel “ready” before sharing your gifts. But when you’re aligned, she says, that pressure fades.

“It just feels natural… the imposter syndrome really goes out of the way when it comes to your gifts.”

Instead of waiting to feel qualified, she started teaching yoga, offering astrology readings, and facilitating breathwork, because it lit her up. And that’s what matters most.

The Awakening After the Fall

Taylor describes her brain injury as the moment everything changed – emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. Alone and confused, she began reading astrology books, pulling charts, and following what felt intuitively right.

“Astrology became my language. I wasn’t raised in a spiritual home, but this was like my soul coming online.”

Her healing journey was deeply personal, often messy, and wildly transformative. It led her to uncover gifts she didn’t know she had.

Breathwork, Sobriety & Spiritual Embodiment

Taylor talks about the role of transformational breathwork in her healing. Including mystical visions, future timeline glimpses, and physical experiences that cracked her heart wide open.

She also touches on sobriety as a byproduct of her spiritual expansion. There was no pressure to quit, her body simply no longer wanted alcohol.

“Sobriety really helps us connect to the higher self. It opens the third eye… it keeps us in a high vibrational state.”

Living from the Heart (Not the Mind)

The message Taylor repeats most? Come home to your heart.

She closes the conversation with a simple practice: heart-centered breathing – slowing down, feeling into love, gratitude, or joy, and letting your next choice come from there.

“You can’t mess it up. Just live from the heart.”
