What do you do when the life you're living stops working?
When health anxiety takes over. When you don't recognize yourself anymore. When you've been running from change for so long that you've lost yourself in the process.
In this vulnerable, powerful conversation, I sit down with Ralitsa Malcheva (Rali) founder of Soulful by Rali who spent years running from change until her body and soul forced her to stop.
After struggling with health anxiety and disconnection for five years, Rali went on a journey to come home to herself. And now? She helps other women do the same through life's biggest transitions, breakups, burnout, career changes, identity loss, and the messy middle of becoming.
In this episode, we talk about:
✨ What it means to be "the runner" and what happens when running stops working
✨ How health anxiety can hijack your sense of self (and how to reclaim it)
✨ The turning point that shifted everything for Rali
✨ Her "Return to Yourself" framework for navigating major life transitions
✨ Why reconnecting with your values comes before goal-setting
✨ The difference between running from change and returning to yourself
✨ Why true strength comes from allowing yourself to be vulnerable
✨ What to do when you're in a transition but don't know who you're becoming yet
✨ How to become your own best coach (not just rely on external guidance)
This episode is for you if you're:
Rali doesn't just coach you, she meets you exactly where you are and gently guides you home.
