Transforming Relationships and Happiness with Cindy Battino of Transformational Healing

At The Alimond Show, we had the privilege of sitting down with Cindy Battino, intuitive coach, happiness expert, energy worker, and founder of Transformational Healing. Cindy opened up about her journey of breaking generational cycles and finding the tools to create a life rooted in joy, health, and meaningful relationships.

Cindy shared how her early years shaped her mission. Growing up in a home filled with both laughter and dysfunction, she realized she didn’t want to continue old patterns. Through therapy, higher education, workshops, and eventually advanced training at the Barbara Brennan School of Healing—the only four-year baccalaureate program for energy science—she discovered life and relationship skills that became the foundation of her work.

In our conversation, Cindy highlighted three essential skills that everyone should learn but often aren’t taught: curiosity, the pause, and request versus demand. These skills, grounded in both brain science and real-life practice, help us shift from assumptions and knee-jerk reactions to healthier, more intentional connections with ourselves and others.

Cindy also spoke passionately about the Harvard Study of Adult Development, which proves that strong, heart-centered relationships are the number one predictor of long-term health and happiness. She reminded us that investing in relationships—whether with family, friends, or ourselves—is not just meaningful, but vital for our well-being.

Her personal story of navigating life under one roof with her ex, her then-boyfriend (now husband), her kids, and her ex’s fiancée showcases the power of these skills in action. Rather than conflict, this unusual arrangement became an opportunity to practice boundaries, healthy communication, and respect—turning what could have been chaos into growth and friendship.

Through her courses, Happiness as a Verb and Lessons of Life, Love and Trust, Cindy equips individuals and couples with the tools to love more deeply, trust more fully, and live more authentically. Her mission is clear: happiness begins and ends with you, but it flourishes in the relationships you build and nurture.
