22: What a Thai Meditation Retreat & Histamine Detox Taught Me About Running a Business

TUNE IN ON:

Feeling fatigued, brain-fogged, or stuck by chronic histamine intolerance or burnout? Yep, me too!

Here’s what happens when you combine a strict diet for histamine intolerance with a 4-day silent meditation retreat in Thailand?

In this solo episode of The Remote CEO Life podcast, I share my personal journey through an intense meditation retreat, a gut-focused detox, and how both radically shifted my mindset, energy, and business.

I share my story about living with histamine intolerance, why I needed a total gut reset, and what I learned about myself – and business – by walking in silence for four hours a day whilst cutting out sugar, gluten, dairy, and processed foods.

Here’s what I unpack in this episode:

  • How chronic stress and cortisol levels affected my health and work
  • Why I chose a silent meditation retreat in Thailand and gut reset detox as part of my healing
  • What walking in silence for four hours a day taught me about control, focus, and surrender
  • Why taking space is essential for mental clarity, leadership, and sustainable productivity

If you’ve ever struggled with burnout, dietary restrictions, or felt misaligned in your business – this one will resonate. It’s about healing, reflection, and letting go of pressure so you can show up from a place of wholeness.

I'm Sophie

Online business coach, podcast host, mental health advocate, community builder, digital nomad, and general trailblazing, rule breaker…

I tried to live a “normal” life: I spent 11+ years working my way up in the fashion industry, working for brands like Ralph Lauren and Burberry. I had the apartment in the city, I lived for going out at the weekends, spent money on designer bags and holidays – until I realized this lifestyle DID NOT FULFIL MEI was waking up with anxiety every day – surviving, but definitely not thriving.

So I quit. I left my 9-to-5 behind to start an online business that supported the lifestyle I actually wanted. Now that looks like slow mornings, daily beach walks, co-working with like-minded entrepreneurs, yoga, meditation, and lots of social connections.

Since 2020, I’ve built multiple online business offers – from online business coaching and consulting to online courses, digital products, and a mental health marketplace – all while travelling the world and living life, and earning money on my own terms.

Now… I’m on a mission to help more people break free from lives that don’t feel good for them and create more freedom through starting and growing an online business.
