Integrating Spiritual Wisdom into Everyday Success: Why Mysticism Belongs in Business
Published on
What if the key to true success isn't hustling harder or chasing another promotion - but listening to the quiet, intuitive voice within?
In one of our most soul-stirring episodes of Brains Behind The Business, we sat down with Corissa St. Laurent, multidimensional mentor, keynote speaker, and founder of The Everyday Mystic. Her journey from a corporate high-achiever to a spiritual guide and business advisor offers a powerful invitation: to redefine success not by what we earn or achieve, but by how aligned, joyful, and fulfilled we feel while doing it.
Whether you're climbing the corporate ladder, launching your dream business, or simply wondering “Is this all there is?” - this episode is a must-listen.
From Rock Bottom to Soul-Led Leadership
Corissa’s journey into mysticism didn’t start with a neatly folded yoga mat and an inspirational quote. It began at rock bottom. As a young adult navigating trauma and turmoil, she experienced spontaneous spiritual openings that pulled her into a lifelong path of personal discovery and divine connection.
She didn’t abandon ambition - in fact, she went on to work with major global brands like Google. But she did begin to quietly explore the integration of her spiritual awakening with her professional drive. It wasn’t until much later, after years of compartmentalizing her “corporate” self from her “spiritual” self, that she realized: There is no separation.
Now, Corissa guides clients through a similar journey - one that merges personal healing, spiritual connection, and practical transformation.
Why Mysticism Matters in Business
Let’s be honest: for many professionals, the idea of mysticism can feel out of place in boardrooms and business plans. But Corissa explains that true transformation starts within - and when we change how we lead ourselves, we naturally change how we lead our teams, companies, and communities.
“Success isn’t just about accumulating stuff - titles, money, recognition. It’s about meaning. It’s about joy. And most importantly, it’s about remembering who you are.”
Whether she’s working with clients who are actively seeking spiritual support or consulting as a fractional business advisor, Corissa brings her grounded, soul-centered approach to every interaction. She’s not just helping leaders make better decisions—she’s helping them make decisions that feel right at a deep, intuitive level.
You Don’t Need to Burn It All Down
Corissa works with many mid-career professionals who have done “everything right” - college, career, family, financial success - but still feel an ache for something more.
“They come to me saying, ‘I’ve checked all the boxes, but I still feel like something’s missing.’”
Does that mean they need to leave everything behind and go live in a remote village or start a nonprofit? Sometimes, sure. But often, it’s about rediscovering joy, purpose, and authenticity within their current lives and roles.
Whether it’s a CEO learning to lead with compassion, a corporate executive weaving personal purpose into company culture, or a working parent simply looking to reconnect with their sense of self, Corissa’s message is clear: You don’t have to wait for retirement to enjoy your life.
You can start now - one step at a time.
Your Inner Voice Knows the Way
One of the most powerful themes of the episode is the call to tune in.
Corissa explains that the best decisions don’t come from a checklist or productivity hack - they come from your intuition, your inner knowing. She encourages clients to block out the noise of what society, parents, schools, and Instagram influencers say you should do, and start asking: What do I want? What feels true to me?
“This life is an experiment. You don’t need to know every step - you just need to take the next one that feels aligned.”
That next step might be setting a boundary, exploring a new creative outlet, or - yes - booking a session with a mentor like Corissa.
A Better Way to Lead
Imagine a world where leadership doesn’t mean performance at all costs. Where we value purpose over pressure. Where company culture is shaped not just by KPIs, but by clarity, compassion, and collaboration.
That’s the kind of change Corissa supports - from the inside out. And as she reminds us, even if your role doesn’t come with a “leader” title, your energy still impacts the people around you. Every small shift in alignment, joy, and authenticity ripples outward.

What if you could reach your goals without grinding yourself into the ground?
What if the most successful version of you is also the most aligned, intuitive, joyful version of you?

If you’ve ever asked yourself those questions, you’re not alone - and you’re not lost.
You might just be ready to take that first step toward a new kind of success.
