Biet Simkin on How to Awaken When Life Breaks You

Breaking Open to Become Whole

Some awakenings don’t come gently—they arrive in the rubble of what once was.

In this raw and soul-stirring episode of Passion Struck, I sit down with spiritual teacher, artist, and author Biet Simkin to explore how life’s most shattering moments can become portals to transformation. Biet’s journey—from addiction and grief to creativity and spiritual awakening—is a testament to what happens when we stop trying to hold it all together… and instead allow life to break us open.

This isn’t a conversation about perfection. It’s about presence. It’s about surrender. And it’s about remembering who we really are when everything we once clung to falls away.

Biet shares how breathwork, music, fashion, and radical truth-telling became her way back to herself—and to the divine. Her story is deeply human and fiercely spiritual, and it offers a blueprint for turning pain into purpose, heartbreak into healing, and mess into meaning.

Here’s what we explore:
