141. The Update On My Love Life & How You Can Trust The Path Unfolding
In this raw and soul-baring episode, Annie peels back the curtain on one of her most personal and transformative love experiences yet. What started as a dream come true — a childhood love flying across the world to take her out for dinner in Greece — soon turned into a deep reckoning with self-trust, intuition, and the powerful difference between fantasy and alignment. From breaking her two-year celibacy with intention, to navigating soul-shaking conversations around forever love, Annie shares the real-time unfolding of what felt like a fairytale...until it didn't. She takes us behind the scenes of the emotional highs, the subtle red flags, the inner conflict, and the clarity that came not from logic — but from the undeniable knowing in her body. Through 50+ pages of journaling, deep introspection, and choosing not to self-abandon, Annie reminds us that just because it looks right on paper doesn’t mean it’s aligned in truth. Whether you’re calling in a conscious relationship, navigating confusion in your love life, or learning how to trust your inner knowing again — this episode is a powerful mirror, offering validation, empowerment, and permission to choose you.

In this raw and soul-stirring episode of the Creatress of Freedom podcast, Annie takes you deep inside her recent journey through the powerful lands of Greece — where healing, awakening, and truth cracked wide open. Annie shares the emotional breakthroughs that surfaced during her travels, from releasing deep-rooted sisterhood wounds to confronting the lingering effects of religious trauma. As crystal-charged waters and ancient rocks became portals for transformation, she found herself face-to-face with the stories that shaped her identity — and the false beliefs around love, marriage, and belonging that were still running the show.

Annie also opens up about the difficult conversations, energetic shifts, and raw vulnerability that brought her closer to her truth than ever before.
