Listen "Surviving vs Thriving: The Role of Spirituality in True Healing | Soul Mirror with Dana Pemberton & Colleen Robinson"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode of The Soul Mirror, host Avik explores the profound link between surviving and thriving with Dana Pemberton and Colleen Robinson—the powerhouse duo behind The Digital Dojo. Together, they share how spirituality, trauma release, and the discipline of the “Black Belt Mind” can transform life beyond survival mode into one of meaning, purpose, and resilience.
From celebrating the very act of survival to recognizing the role of inherited trauma, Dana and Colleen unpack how mindset, emotional healing, and spiritual practices create real pathways to thriving. If you’ve ever felt stuck in burnout, loneliness, or survival mode, this conversation offers grounded insights and practical tools to shift toward vitality and deeper connection.
About the Guests
Dana Pemberton is a former martial arts dojo owner and athlete turned mindset strategist and consultant. His approach—rooted in discipline, resilience, and focus—helps people move from fear and scarcity into love and abundance.
Colleen Robinson is a licensed TCM practitioner, acupuncturist, and trauma release expert. She bridges Eastern and Western healing to address inherited and lived trauma, helping individuals break free from survival mode and step into joy and connection.
Together, they co-founded The Digital Dojo, blending martial arts, trauma-informed healing, and spiritual practices into a practical path of transformation.
Key Takeaways
Thriving isn’t about eliminating struggle—it’s about reframing survival as the first victory.
Spirituality can be understood simply as “awareness of deep meaning and value” in daily life.
The “power of the pause” is a practical tool to calm the nervous system and create space for clarity.
Trauma—including inherited trauma—can be reframed as a gift of survival, equipping future generations with resilience.
Simplicity often holds the most powerful solutions when life feels overwhelmingly complex.
Thriving grows from connection—with self, others, and something greater than us—rather than isolation.
