Episode 140: Surrendering to Wholeness: Isabelle Daikeler on Healing from the Inside Out
/Powered by RedCircle
On the Live The Width of Your Life podcast, we explore what it means to not only live the length of our life but instead the breadth, depth, and purpose of each day.
She shares her personal story of creating balance in her life by aligning her daily choices to life values, strategies to redefine success, and creating space for a bit of magic and synchronicity.
It's never too late to change! We don't need to have it all figured out to begin; we can take action daily, show up imperfectly, and be amazed and inspired by how beautiful life can be.

Isabelle Daikeler is a distinguished wellness expert and the visionary behind some of the most impactful supplements and wellness programs in the industry. She's the original concept creator and co-formulator of Shakeology, as well as the woman behind several of Beachbody's most popular detox and nutrition programs—including First Thing, Last Thing, 3-Day Refresh, and Ultimate Reset.
But her journey into wellness wasn't just professional—it was profoundly personal.
At just 22, in the midst of a promising acting career, Isabelle was in a severe car accident that left her unable to walk. With no clear roadmap and little support from traditional medicine, she became her own advocate—developing a two-year, self-guided recovery that opened the door to a lifetime of learning about healing, energy, and the wisdom of the body.
Since then, she's trained Hollywood celebrities, Olympic athletes, and people from all walks of life. Today, she helps others return to themselves through energy work, somatic healing, and a powerful light and sound therapy tool called the Harmonic Egg.
What We Explored:
Her unexpected path from actress to wellness pioneer
Living through chronic illness, trauma, and the long road back to wholeness
The soul's role in physical healing—and why slowing down is essential
Why presence and compassion matter more than any method
How the Harmonic Egg supports nervous system reset and energy alignment
Redefining success through healing, peace, and spiritual truth
Soul-Deep Takeaways:
Healing begins when we stop running from discomfort and start listening
We often discover our strength when we have no other choice but to rise
Slowing down isn't failure—it's where the body finds space to restore
Our spiritual connection isn't outside of us—it's already within
We don't need to be "more" to be enough—we are already whole
Isabelle's story is one of resilience, surrender, and transformation. She reminded me that healing doesn't happen in a straight line—and that even in our darkest moments, we are being shaped for something greater.Connect with Isabelle:
