I was sexually abused from age 11 through 21 years old. Wow! I’ve never written that publically until now.

The only two reasons I’m even able to share my painful story with you is because #1 I’ve done the deep healing work necessary to process the extreme trauma and damaged self-worth. #2 I believe that I survived that abuse in order to be a shining glimmer of hope and guidance for other humans who are still sitting in the deep gut-wrenching shame.

You see the Universe has a beautiful way of connecting you with the right people and the right messages, as even the crap people and situations you encounter are there to teach you and help you grow.

The beautiful and powerful soul I have on the podcast today came into my life via Instagram, and we share a common bond only abuse survivors can understand. This conversation may be triggering for some of you, and if it does please reach out to a therapist or one of us, you are no longer alone.

Petia Kolibova is a passionate coach who helps corporate women who have been pushed down and been playing it small due to toxic relationships or unhealed childhood trauma, to create a life that is true to them and their soul purpose.
Her mission is to help women who are on the path to healing from past wounds, move through their limiting beliefs and internal blocks so they can finally do what they want to do, what feels good to them, serve other women in a powerful way online.

If she is not interviewing on her podcast Be Strong Minded, working out, or reading, you will find her in nature disconnecting from the world, connecting to herself.

EP 765 The Final Shedding Required for the Biggest Quantum Jump of Your Life

If you have been feeling restless, emotionally raw, impatient with your old patterns, or like your current life suddenly feels too small, you are not imagining it.

As we close out the Year of the Snake and prepare to enter the Year of the Fire Horse on February 17, 2026, we are moving through a rare 60-year transition cycle associated with identity shifts, shedding outdated patterns, and stepping into a faster, bolder chapter of life.

This episode explores the final shedding required before a major quantum jump, why this phase can feel emotionally intense, and how to stop delaying the version of you that is ready to move forward.

Instead of surface-level motivation or spiritual bypassing, this conversation focuses on honest self-reflection, releasing emotional attachments, confronting resistance, and taking decisive action so you can move into your next level with clarity and momentum.

EP 764 2026 Glow Up Protocol: (The Boundaries) How to Set Healthy Boundaries Without Guilt in 2026

This episode of the 2026 Glow Up Protocol is all about boundaries.

Not the cold, harsh, push-people-away kind.
But the kind that protect your energy, your peace, and your future.

Most high achievers think burnout comes from working too hard. The truth is much simpler: burnout comes from weak boundaries.

If you’ve ever felt exhausted, resentful, overwhelmed, or stretched too thin, it’s not because you care too much or work too much. It’s because you’ve been saying yes to things that should have been a no.

In this episode, you’ll learn how to set healthy boundaries without guilt, fear, or anxiety — and how to finally stop overgiving to the point of losing yourself.

EP 763 2026 Glow Up Protocol: (The Being) How to Feel Like Yourself Again and Become Who You’re Meant to Be in 2026

So many high achievers spend years trying to fix their life when what really needs to shift is their identity. If 2025 left you exhausted, disconnected, or wondering where the real version of you went, this conversation will feel like a homecoming.

True change in 2026 doesn’t come from doing more. It comes from becoming someone new on the inside first.

In this episode, we go beyond surface level self-improvement and get into the emotional, psychological, and energetic work of remembering who you actually are and deciding who you want to be next.
