Vishrant's Bio and Contact Information

Vishrant is a contemporary mystic and enlightened spiritual teacher from Perth, Australia.

Once a publishing magnate who retired at 28, he later encountered Osho’s teachings, joined his mystery schools, and underwent a profound near-death experience, while lost at sea for 18 hours, that awakened him to the reality of unconditional love.

He then gave away his businesses to his staff and walked barefoot across Australia for four years in search of his heart. Later, he studied naturopathy and psychotherapy, serving people directly in body, mind, and spirit. Today, he lives in a state of Beingness, supporting others in awakening, not through belief, but through direct experience and surrender.

In this episode of The Teaching Journeys Podcast, hosted by Dave Roberts, the guest is Vanessa Cardenas, a relationship reset expert and betrayal recovery specialist. Vanessa shares her journey and insights into helping individuals and couples rebuild trust and emotional connections after betrayal. She discusses the concept of 'micro betrayals,' the importance of language in healing, and the necessity of addressing emotional disconnections. Vanessa emphasizes the need for emotional safety, intentional communication, and self-trust. The discussion also covers the value of active listening, the continuous nature of relationship work, and the significance of movement in releasing stress and trauma. Vanessa further talks about her two books designed to help those dealing with betrayal. The episode concludes with Vanessa offering guidance on stability and self-compassion during the healing process.

Vanessa's Bio and Contact Information

Vanessa Cardenas is a Relationship Reset Expert and Betrayal Recovery Specialist who has helped individuals and couples rebuild trust, restore emotional connection, and regain clarity from the inside out since 2017.

She is the founder of Understanding Ear and the creator of the HOPE Roadmap, a structured approach designed to help people stabilize after betrayal, navigate emotional disconnection, and make grounded decisions about what comes next in their relationships. Vanessa’s work focuses on emotional safety, intentional communication, and restoring self-trust when relationships feel uncertain or fractured.

For years, Vanessa was considered a best-kept secret, quietly supporting clients through some of the most painful and defining moments of their lives. In 2025, her work was formally recognized when she was named Best Relationship Coach in Westchester County.

What sets Vanessa apart is that her work is both professionally informed and lived. She understands betrayal not only through years of guiding others, but through her own marriage, which she chose to rebuild after betrayal when both she and her husband committed to doing the necessary work. That experience allows her to speak with honesty, restraint, and credibility about what healing actually requires over time.

Clients often describe her impact simply and powerfully. One shared, “Working with Vanessa helped me come back to myself. I stopped spiraling and finally trusted my own decisions again.”

Vanessa works with individuals and couples who are outwardly capable yet quietly struggling, often stuck between staying, leaving, or resetting a relationship that no longer feels safe or connected. Her approach blends trauma-aware insight, communication mastery, and practical guidance without clinical language or performance.

She believes empowerment begins when people feel safe enough to trust themselves again and strong enough to choose what comes next.
