From Broken to Breakthroughs, Healing from Abuse and Toxic Relationships with Petia Kolibova, Founder of Be Strong Minded EP071


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 767 Deprogramming Fear around Money, Business & Failure

Fear around money and business doesn’t usually come from logic.


It comes from conditioning.

In this episode, we’re unpacking how fear gets wired into your nervous system, your decision-making, and your income patterns and how to consciously deprogram it without forcing confidence, bypassing emotions, or burning yourself out.

This is not about positive thinking or manifesting harder.
It’s about understanding why fear shows up even when you are capable, skilled, and doing the right things and what actually changes it.

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.
