While her role afforded her family a financially stable lifestyle, it left her spiritual account feeling overdrawn and empty.  Having been blessed with spiritual-gifts since she was a child, Vinni has always been drawn to the “high vibe” aspects of life. Yoga, meditation, energy work and Ayurvedic practices became a regular part of her daily routines.  During the most challenging times of her corporate career, she found herself leaning into the spiritual; new friendships and creative opportunities kept finding her the more she let go of the “should dos” and reached for the “want tos.” And so, as many crazy-yet-beautiful decisions are sometimes made, when Vinni reached the pinnacle of her professional tenure is exactly when she made the  life-reaffirming decision to leave the corporate world behind entirely–fully believing that once she leapt, the net would appear.  And so it did. By combining her previous leadership experience with her intuitive heart-driven passions, she created Chakra Wellness with the intention to provide holistic integrated services that would help strengthen the mind, body, and spiritual health of her clients. Vinni furthered her Yoga education by participating in the Advanced Yoga Teacher Training at Nepal Yoga Home (certified under Yoga Alliance). She is an E-RYT 500 hours.  She attended New York Institute for Integrative Nutrition work and is a Certified Holistic Health Coach with a focus on plant-based cuisines. She is a Usui certified Reiki master, sound bowl healer, Qi Gong instructor and a mind-body intuitive.  Vinni loves to inspire, nurture, encourage and passionately coach her clients. She feels blessed to work with individuals who are devoted to their personal growth and wellness, and feels divine gratitude that her passions are her “work.” She is a wife, a mother, a healer and a friend,  and she looks forward to sharing her gifts with you. About your host: I'm Drew Deraney, the proud father of three children. For most of my life I've been concerned with what people thought of me and how I was supposed to act. I learned not to be my authentic self and instead became a people pleaser, a man wearing a mask. In a 9-month span a few years ago, I endured four faith-shaking life events that caused me to question my existence. I became determined to find a better way to live. Through intense self-reflection and awareness, I realized that in order to be happy, I must adhere to my standards of honesty, integrity and truth and needed to break free from the belief system that was anchored in me for close to 50 years. I now believe that success happens when we find a better way and are willing and able to share it. HOW I do that is by challenging the status quo and thinking differently. Ultimately, WHAT I bring to the table is a way to contribute and add value by having an impact on the lives of others.

In 2011, my entire life came to a halt. This solo mama, building an accounting career from home, was suddenly struck down by a rare illness that initially left me paralyzed. Guillain-Barré Syndrome attacked my immune system and attempted to take me out — it didn’t succeed. Over the next 14 years, I transcended multiple chronic health conditions, welcomed two more children, and even tried to return to my “old life.” But the universe had other plans.  Healing wasn’t just recovery — it was rediscovery — of body, mind, soul, and purpose. That rediscovery sparked a new chapter of leadership and freedom. I built a vision for my life rooted in impact and intention, started a business, and pitched my way to winning $50K on David Meltzer’s Bloomberg TV show, 2 Minute Drill. I’ve turned adversity into impact — earning the 2023 Pittsburgh Steelers Women of Steel Gamechanger Award and founding Unbreakable Stories and Posh Notions, where creativity and empowerment inspire others to rise. ☕ Still healing, still growing, still leading — one cup of dark coffee and one conversation at a time.

About your host: I'm Drew Deraney, the proud father of three children. For most of my life I've been concerned with what people thought of me and how I was supposed to act. I learned not to be my authentic self and instead became a people pleaser, a man wearing a mask. In a 9-month span a few years ago, I endured four faith-shaking life events that caused me to question my existence. I became determined to find a better way to live. Through intense self-reflection and awareness, I realized that in order to be happy, I must adhere to my standards of honesty, integrity and truth and needed to break free from the belief system that was anchored in me for close to 50 years. I now believe that success happens when we find a better way and are willing and able to share it. HOW I do that is by challenging the status quo and thinking differently. Ultimately, WHAT I bring to the table is a way to contribute and add value by having an impact on the lives of others.
