If survival mode made you forget who you are, I’m here to help you remember. I’m Andreea Tanase - I hit rock bottom, rebuilt my life from the inside out, and now I help cycle breakers unlearn harmful patterns, reclaim their worth, and create love and life that feel like freedom, not survival. This isn’t about quick fixes, toxic positivity, or bypassing pain. Here, we go beneath the surface to unravel cycles with nervous system–safe strategies and raw, truth-telling conversations. We'll dive into: 1. Unlearning Who You Were Taught to Be You don’t have to keep performing the roles you were raised to play - the “strong one,” the caretaker, the overachiever. Together we’ll peel back the scripts family, culture, and society handed you... so you can stop living for others and finally belong to yourself. This is truth over comfort: choosing wholeness over the roles that once kept you safe. 2. Rebuilding Self-Worth & Self-Trust Your worth isn’t earned - it’s remembered. Here we’ll release the guilt, stop the second-guessing, and rebuild a self-trust that feels unshakable. Boundaries and honest communication become acts of integrity, not performance. Healing doesn’t mean bypassing pain - it means moving through it in ways that honor your nervous system and empower you to stand firmly in who you are. 3. Aligned Love & Relationships Aligned love isn’t about fixing someone or shrinking yourself to be chosen. It’s about building the kind of relationship where you feel safe, respected, and fully seen. We’ll talk about spotting red and green flags sooner, walking away when something isn’t right, and choosing love that feels liberating and real. This is radical self-worth in action - love that feels like freedom, not survival. ✨ New episodes every Thursday. Hit follow now, and let’s heal, thrive, and prosper - together!
Why do so many people feel lonely even when they’re surrounded by others?
In this episode, I unpack the fact that loneliness isn’t always about being alone - it can be about asking the wrong things from the wrong relationships.
We’ve been taught to treat family, friends, and community as interchangeable - but they’re not. And when we blur those roles, we end up drained, disappointed, overextended, or disconnected. In this episod...
Why does compassion feel harder right now? Why do conversations shut down so quickly? And why does questioning certain beliefs feel like a personal attack?

Have you ever asked yourself, “Is this my intuition - or my anxiety?”
I’ve been there. For years, I thought my intuition was broken - but what was really happening was that trauma had taught my body to confuse protection with truth.
