Your Well Life
Misha Vayner
Raw storytelling. Real healing. Radical self-acceptance.
Welcome to Your Well Life, where we peel back the layers of surface-level fixes and dive deep into the heart of real healing, alignment, and living fully alive.
I’m Misha Vayner—a mom of three, trauma-informed health and life coach, and truth-teller on a lifelong healing journey. Here, we get real about what it means to reclaim your most authentic self, break generational patterns, and find flow in the messiness of motherhood.
Each episode, I share raw, unpolished stories from my own path and the courageous journeys of others. We talk about trauma healing, nervous system nourishment, holistic well-being, and navigating the beautiful chaos of motherhood with grace and grit.
Because I believe that sacred storytelling is medicine. When we speak our truth, we heal. When we witness others, we remember we’re not alone. And when we stop performing and start being, our lives transform.

Welcome to Your Well Life, a podcast devoted to creating harmony in the ecosystems of our bodies, guiding us to alignment of our true, authentic selves and leading us to living lives that feel in flow through releasing the stress and trauma patterns that impair our liberation and ability to flourish and thrive.
I’m your host, Misha Vayner, a certified, trauma informed holistic health and life coach and mother of 3. I support moms in reclaiming their most authentic and expanded versions of themselves in mind, body and soul through helping them heal and rewire the patterns that are taking them out of alignment.
In this podcast, I will engage in thought provoking, inspiring, deep, relatable and healing conversations that continue to explore the roots of our misalignment coupled with unconventional and varied ways to realign.
I was led to this work from my own radically transformational healing journey that resulted in profound and wild shifts. I will bring conversations here from my own ever evolving healing journey, as well as bring my clients, friends and teachers on to share their stories and wisdom. I deeply believe that no matter what you’ve been through, you have the opportunity to access your most aligned self and live a life of magic and flow.
Now let’s get cozy and let’s dive in.

Your Well Life

When life is lifing—when everything feels like it’s coming at you at once, knocking you down, and testing every ounce of your strength—it’s easy to feel stuck, overwhelmed, and exhausted. But here’s the truth: while pain is inevitable, suffering is optional.

🔥 Why suffering often comes from our resistance to what is
🔥 The power of pendulation—how to move through emotions instead of getting stuck in them
🔥 Practical ways to support your nervous system when you feel like you're drowning
🔥 How to borrow energy, beliefs, and perspectives to shift your state
🔥 The difference between numbing out and truly resourcing yourself
If you’re in a season where everything feels heavy, I see you. You are not alone. Let’s talk about how to not just survive these moments but actually thrive through them.

#12: From Prison to Purpose: How to Turn Rock Bottom Into a Life of Impact and Abundance with Coss Marte
Your Well Life
04/30/25 • 83 min
If you've ever felt like you're at rock bottom—like life has hit you hard, and you're not sure how you’ll ever rise again—this story is going to shift something in you.
This is about resilience in real time. It's about what happens when someone takes the lowest of lows and transforms it into purpose, abundance, and legacy. It's about what’s possible for you, too.
Coss Marte went from solitary confinement... to Saks Fifth Avenue. From running the streets of the Lower East Side... to building two mission-driven empires: ConBody and ConBud.
At just 19 years old, he was running a $5 million drug operation that ultimately landed him behind bars. Today, he’s doing over $7 million in legal cannabis sales—using the very industry that got him incarcerated to create jobs, rewrite narratives, and build generational change.
He founded ConBody, a prison-style fitness bootcamp that has served over 70,000 people and hired more than 100 formerly incarcerated individuals to lead the work. He’s been featured in The New York Times, Men’s Health, CNN, NBC, and over 200 major media outlets. He’s given four TED Talks, authored a book, and continues to break cycles of incarceration by helping others transform their lives too.
With ConBud, he’s flipping the cannabis industry on its head—creating opportunities for people who were once criminalized for the very thing he’s now legally succeeding in.
In this conversation, we explore the deeper layers:
- How do you keep moving forward when it all falls apart?
- Where do you find the strength when everything feels stacked against you?
- And how do you turn your hardest seasons into fuel for something revolutionary?
I feel deeply connected to this story because I was touched firsthand by the power of this mission. I brought Coss into Saks as part of a project I was leading, and that moment ended up being pivotal for both of us. Getting to know him, witnessing his growth, and watching him continue to make such a profound impact moves me, inspires me, and honestly—it just makes me want to hear more.
So without further ado, let’s get into it.
