Author & Writer Kristina Mand-Lakhiani | How to Achieve Self Love

Season 3, Ep. 125

As an entrepreneur, writer, speaker, philanthropist, and mother – I’ve been engaging in the personal transformation industry for over 19 years, collaborating and playing with leading thinkers and teachers in consciousness, relationships, human performance, and life optimization.


I started my career working for the government of Estonia, where I was born and raised, before I joined the non-profit sector and worked for organizations such as the United Nations, Oxfam, and AIESEC. In 2003, I co-founded Mindvalley – a global school that delivers transformational education for all ages.


In 2009, I launched Mindvalley Russian, taking Mindvalley’s best authors and teachings to the Russian-speaking market. I’m also the author of Live By Your Own Rules, a 30-day optimal learning quest designed for transformation to help you identify, understand, and accept all the dimensions of your authentic self to live an extraordinary life and make happiness a regular practice.


Throughout my journey, I’ve been fortunate to acquire the tools and systems to help me make authenticity the heart of my life.


Whether it’s starting my businesses, being active in causes, I’m passionate about, going to the places I love, embracing the virtuous and the “wicked” of my femininity, singing my two children to sleep, playing the harp or immersing myself in classical literature – I’m set on taking in and relishing every moment as it comes.


And I invite you to do the same, in your way.
