How many times have you convinced yourself you were healing—reading the books, attending the workshops, repeating affirmations—only to find yourself stuck in the same cycles? In this episode of Wickedly Smart Women, host Anjel B. Hartwell interviews Anat Peri, inner child expert. Anat dismantles the illusion of surface-level self-development and invites us into a deeper, more embodied path to transformation.
Anat’s story is a masterclass in surrender, resilience, and leadership. She pulls back the curtain on why mindset alone isn’t enough and how emotional resiliency is the true foundation of freedom.
If you’ve ever felt like you're “doing the work” but not actually changing, this episode might just be the wake-up call you need.
What You Will Learn:
How growing up with a “just think positive” mindset can unintentionally lead to emotional suppression and anxiety.
Even a seemingly trauma-free childhood can create hidden wounds that shape adult behavior and relationships.
The impact of emotionally unavailable parenting on future romantic patterns and the development of codependency.
How traditional healing methods like mindset work and NLP often fall short without addressing the body and nervous system.
What it means to live in your head versus being fully embodied.
The difference between awareness and actual healing.
What it’s like to rebuild your life guided by intuition instead of external validation or cultural expectations.
How working at the Chopra Center supported Anat’s reconnection with herself through meditation and holistic practices.
Why transformation can feel like walking through fire and why it’s worth every uncomfortable step.
The origin story of Training Camp for the Soul and how Anat turned her healing into a powerful business.
Emotional resilience and nervous system capacity are important in being an effective coach or healer.
How Anat’s Mastery Certification Program equips coaches with more than tools.
Why you can’t just coach from your own healing story and what makes a sustainable coaching method.
