#37 From Survival to Self: Lessons From 10,000 Healing Sessions
What does it actually take to stop living in survival mode… and start living as your real self? In this powerful episode, Anni, a master healer, mental health specialist, shadow priestess, and ego-death doula, shares what she’s learned after 10,000+ healing sessions with people from all walks of life across the world. Different countries. Different stories. But the same core patterns: fear, emotional conditioning, relationship wounds, burnout, guilt, and the invisible survival strategies we carry for years without realizing. This conversation goes beyond “self-improvement” and into true transformation. Anni breaks down what survival mode really looks like in everyday life, why people stay stuck even when they’re trying to heal, and how real healing begins when you stop running from your shadow and start listening to it. If you’ve ever felt like you’re functioning, but not fully living, this episode will meet you right where you are, and show you what’s possible on the other side. In this episode, we explore: The most common patterns Anni has seen across thousands of healing sessions Why survival mode becomes an identity (and how it quietly runs your life) How guilt, fear, and emotional suppression block your growth What “shadow work” really means when it’s done with skill and safety The moment people finally shift from coping… to becoming What it looks like to return to yourself after years of disconnection 🎁 IMPORTANT LINK (Freebies / Lead Magnet) Healing Guilt (Free Resources): 🔗 Connect with Anni / Seeds of Bliss Website: Free Newsletter: Instagram: Facebook: TikTok: YouTube:
