#16 | Irene Anggreeni | "Healing through transformation"

✨Journeys of Empowerment✨ – Episode 16

What if one conversation could change your entire perspective on mental health? 

Today, I’m joined by Irene Anggreeni, a mental fitness coach who transformed her life from a challenging upbringing in Indonesia and a demanding engineering career to a journey of healing, advocacy, and empowerment. Her path from battling depression and burnout to championing mental health is nothing short of inspiring.

We Dive Deep Into:

  • Career Reinvention: how leaving a conventional engineering path paved the way for a fulfilling role in mental fitness coaching;
  • Trauma & Recovery: the raw reality of early trauma, depression, and burnout, and the essential role of self-regulation in overcoming them;
  • Mindfulness as Medicine: the transformative benefits of mindfulness practices, inspired by her first retreat and the Plum Village tradition;
  • Community & Leadership: the importance of supportive networks, including the role of Toastmasters, in developing resilience and leadership;
  • Inner Healing: embracing self-compassion and inner child work to foster deep, personal growth.

Nuggets of Empowerment:

  • Every setback is a stepping stone toward a comeback;
  • Vulnerability is a strength that invites authentic healing;
  • Healing is an ongoing journey, one where every mindful step counts!

Irene’s journey proves that when we dare to confront our pain, we unlock the strength to rewrite our story. Her commitment to mental fitness inspires us to embrace change and empower others through empathy and mindful action.
