How to Move from Surviving Life into Thriving in Life, with Ana Maria, Trauma Informed Personal Empowerment Coach and Founder of Life Butterfly Effect EP077

Are you just going through the motions of daily life in survival mode? Or are you living a passionate, vibrant, and soulful life where you are thriving?

Most of my life was spent in survival mode aside from a few “exciting” moments each year. I felt zombie-like, and often asked my self “is this all there is to life?”

I would observe other people online and even friends who seemed to be so full of life, energized and excited about their day. What I concluded is that something was terribly wrong with me (which there wasn’t, but that was my low self-worth MO that it must be my fault).

If you can relate to my story or know someone who can, this podcast episode will be life changing (so share it!). I brought on my personal empowerment coach, who has developed a unique approach and uncovering subconscious soul wounds that prevent us from thriving. Truly I didn’t even know thriving was in the cards for me until I did this deeper work.

Ana Maria is a trauma informed personal empowerment coach – she creates an inertia of healing alchemy from the inside of your soul by building you up to keep moving forward, with a healthy dose of self care, love and compassion.

She is passionate about empowering her clients using a kind, gentle yet assertive mindset towards their growth. She has an innate felt sense of intuition with whomever she is interacting with. She can pick up on subtle emotions and feelings and gently guide her clients towards the core of their soul’s desires. Ana Maria listens not only to her clients’ spoken words, but she also listens to their body’s language and the signals that are released by their subconscious.

She took the ‘Trauma Treatment training in Interventions for Deep Healing’ with industry experts: Bessel van der Kolk, Peter Levine, Janina Fisher, Pat Ogden, and Interpersonal Neurobiology of Trauma Resolution with the clinical professor of psychiatry Dr. Dan Siegel. She also attended numerous neuroscience, psychotherapy and spirituality summits in the categories of healing and resilience, and became a licensed facilitator for Danielle LaPorte’s Desire Map method which she finds to be a fabulous tool in giving our innermost selves a voice, the space to be heard, the opportunity to be honored.
