Conversations for Change with Becky Mundt
How Do You Find Peace When the World Is in Chaos?
With Taryn van Schalkwyk
About this episode
How do we find peace within ourselves when the world around us seems anything but peaceful?
In this episode of Conversations for Change, Becky Mundt sits down with Taryn van Schalkwyk—a South African of Lebanese descent now living in Bahrain—for an expansive conversation about spiritual awakening, inner transformation, surrender, intuition, and discovering who we are beneath the roles and identities that have defined us.
After a 19-year career as a lawyer, Taryn found herself confronting a profound question:
Who am I without all the titles?
Her journey opened the door to intuition, energetic sensitivity, spiritual experiences, and a new understanding of what it means to live from the heart rather than allowing the analytical mind to lead everything.
- Finding peace when the outer world feels uncertain
- Surrendering control and learning to trust
- Moving from mind-centered to heart-centered living
- Discovering who we are beyond our roles and conditioning
- Holding space for others instead of trying to fix them
- Exploring intuition, synchronicity, and spiritual awakening
- Meeting an unknown future with curiosity instead of fear
At the heart of this conversation is a deceptively simple idea: we may not be able to control what is happening around us, but we can change how we meet it.
And perhaps our greatest contribution isn’t convincing other people to change. Perhaps it’s becoming grounded enough in our own authentic selves that the way we live becomes an invitation.
Drawing on her experience with improv theater, Taryn offers a wonderfully simple approach to the unknown:
“Yes, and...”
Not I believe everything.
But rather: I’m willing to stay curious. Tell me more.
