7 Ways Conscious Uncoupling Helps Humans Evolve

Quick summary

Vishen Lakhiani's announcement about his conscious uncoupling stirred something deep in the storyteller, revealing how this transformative approach to separation differs fundamentally from traditional divorce and offers a path for human evolution.

About a week ago, Vishen Lakhiani, Mindvalley’s leader announced that he and his wife of 19 years were getting divorced. Only, he didn’t use that word. In fact, he went out of his way to mention that he and his ex-wife Kristina refuse to use that word or give it any power in their satiation because what they were doing was nothing like divorce, and that is the point.

Vishen’s announcement about their Conscious Uncoupling experience, a term coined by Author Katherine Woodward Thomas , stirred something in me.
