Ben Mannix - Dismantling the Inherited Lie

There are people who walk into your life like wind through trees — you don’t always see them coming, but when they pass through, something shifts.

Today, I want to tell you a story. Not of fame or fortune, but of healing. Of depth. Of the kind of medicine you don’t find in a bottle, but in breath, in memory, in the soft trembling spaces we keep locked up inside us.

Her name is Bénédicte Mannix.

She lives where the ocean breathes in rhythm with the soul — Jamaica. But her roots run far deeper than place. With more than 30 years immersed in the psychedelic current, Bénédicte isn’t just a guide. She’s a memory keeper. A bridge walker. A healer who helps people unearth the pain they buried in childhood and offer it light.

Trained in Rogerian, systemic, and transgenerational therapy, she’s part clinical, part mystic — armed not with prescriptions, but with presence. With Sophrology — a practice of breathwork, visualization, and nervous system healing — she teaches people how to breathe like the earth, to remember that healing isn’t a straight line. It’s a spiral.

She’s held space in festival fields and quiet rooms alike. Spaces where people unravel, confront the shadows, and come back changed — not broken, but rebuilt with gentleness and fire.

Bénédicte is writing a book now, on how Sophrology can transmute trauma. But the real book — the one that matters — is the one she’s already helped thousands rewrite: the story of themselves.

So settle in. Take a breath. What you’re about to hear isn’t just an interview — it’s an invocation.

This is Bénédicte Mannix.
