    28 - The Cost of Being the Strong One

    What happens when competence becomes armor… and rest starts to feel unsafe? In this deeply personal episode, Anna shares the hidden cost of always being “the strong one.” From a childhood decision to self-protect to decades of wearing emotional armor, she unpacks how high-functioning women often confuse strength with self-isolation. If you’re the capable one.  The reliable one.  The one who says “I’ve got it” even when you’re exhausted… This conversation is for you. Anna explores how resilience can quietly turn into self-containment, how feminine energy gets suppressed in survival mode, and why true strength includes allowing yourself to be supported. You don’t have to do it all alone. Key moments you’ll hear in this episode:  00:00 – The belief that shaped everything: “The world is unsafe, I must protect myself” 01:45 – Armor, identity, and the exhaustion of never being held 03:30 – When competence becomes protection (and isolation) 05:10 – Why rest feels unsafe for high-functioning women 06:30 – Strength without softness = loneliness 08:00 – The nervous system and belonging through self-reliance 09:30 – Giving easily, receiving awkwardly 10:15 – Breaking the cycle: strength AND softness 11:00 – Where are you defaulting to “I’ve got this”? 12:00 – You don’t have to earn rest by being strong first Loving this podcast?

In this powerful conversation, Anna Love breaks down why willpower isn’t the problem and why pushing harder often makes things worse.

    26 - Why You Can’t Heal What You’re Still Loyal To

    Have you ever wondered why certain patterns won’t shift, no matter how much awareness, therapy, or inner work you’ve done? In this episode of The Tattooed Truth Podcast, Anna Love explores a powerful and often overlooked truth: sometimes healing doesn’t happen because part of us is still loyal to what we’re trying to heal. Anna shares personal insights from her own journey and unpacks questions like: • Why healing can feel like betrayal  • How identity can keep us stuck in survival mode  • The difference between awareness and true release  • Why healing around a wound isn’t the same as healing through it  • How loyalty to who you were can block who you’re becoming This conversation dives deep into subconscious loyalty and how unspoken attachments to family roles, identities, relationships, and survival patterns can quietly override real transformation. These loyalties aren’t logical. They’re emotional strategies formed early in life to protect our sense of belonging, love, and safety. Key moments from this episode: [00:00] Why awareness alone doesn’t create change and the role of subconscious loyalty  [02:00] How fear of losing love, belonging, or identity blocks healing  [04:00] The childhood roles we stay loyal to and how they shape adult patterns  [06:00] Healing around the wound vs healing through it  [08:30] When survival identities stop serving you  [10:45] Identity vs healing and why the nervous system resists freedom  [12:45] Choosing loyalty to self without burning bridges  [14:30] Returning home to your truth This episode isn’t a demand to change. It’s an invitation to get curious about where you may still be choosing loyalty over truth and safety over freedom. Because real healing doesn’t require abandoning relationships or making anyone wrong. It begins when loyalty finally returns to you. ✨ Awareness is the first rupture in an old agreement  ✨ Freedom starts when you stop protecting what hurt you Until next time, be well.

    25 - The Gold-Plated Prison

    In this episode of The Tattooed Truth Podcast, I dive into what I call the gold-plated prison—that place where life looks successful on the outside, but internally feels heavy, numb, or misaligned. This conversation is for the woman who isn’t in crisis, but also isn’t alive. The woman who did everything “right,” followed the rules, built the life, checked the boxes—and still feels restless, disconnected, or quietly unhappy. The kind of pain that’s hard to explain without sounding ungrateful. I share personal stories from my own journey—building a life that worked on paper but slowly drained my creativity, motivation, and truth. We explore how adaptation, safety, and survival identities can slowly replace authenticity, and how the body always knows when it’s time for an identity shift. This episode is an invitation into honesty. Not blowing up your life. Not rushing change. But noticing where you’ve been tolerating, shrinking, or overriding your truth—and what freedom actually begins to look like from the inside out. If you’ve ever thought, “Nothing is wrong… but nothing feels right,” this episode is for you. Key moments you’ll hear in this episode: [00:01:00] What the “gold-plated prison” really is and why it’s so hard to explain  [00:04:00] How safety, responsibility, and being “the good one” can override truth  [00:08:00] The body signals we ignore when our identity has expired  [00:10:30] How numbing, burnout, and loss of motivation are messages—not failures  [00:13:30] The questions that begin real freedom without blowing up your life If this episode stirred something in you, share it with someone who needs permission to listen to their truth.

    24 - When Freedom Becomes Your Next Chapter

    In this episode of the Tattoo Truth Podcast, I share what happens after the awareness phase — when you’ve done the healing work, gained insight, and still feel like something is missing. We explore why healing isn’t the end goal, and why so many people stay stuck even after years of personal development, therapy, or spiritual work. I talk about what it really means to move out of survival mode and into a body that feels safe enough to live, receive, and expand. This conversation dives into nervous system regulation, identity shifts, and the difference between understanding freedom and actually living it. I share personal reflections on chronic stress, embodiment, and why growth doesn’t come from pushing harder, but from allowing yourself to soften into the next version of who you’re becoming. If you’ve done “the work” but still feel restless, guarded, or on edge, this episode is an invitation to look at what freedom actually requires. Discomfort doesn’t mean you’re failing.  It means you’re becoming. [02:10] What happens after awareness and healing  [05:18] Why information alone doesn’t create lasting change  [09:42] Nervous system regulation and living outside survival mode  [14:30] Identity shifts and releasing who you used to be  [19:05] Freedom as a lived experience, not a destination Loving this podcast?

    23 - Inside vs. Outside: The Hidden Reason Pain and Patterns Don’t Shift Until the Inner World Does

    In this episode, I dive into a powerful and deeply personal conversation inspired by The Tapping Solution for Pain Relief by Nick Ortner. This topic is close to my heart, because years ago, I lived in chronic pain without understanding that my body was trying to communicate something far deeper than a physical issue. We explore how emotional freedom techniques like EFT tapping connect directly to identity work, confidence, people-pleasing, burnout, and overworking. I share how many of us try to push through pain, stay positive, or “fix” our habits without ever looking at the belief systems and emotional patterns driving them in the first place. I open up about my own experience navigating divorce, emotional overwhelm, and years of ignoring my body’s signals—until the pain became impossible to ignore. This episode unpacks the difference between outer behaviors and inner experiences, and why lasting healing can’t happen without addressing what’s happening beneath the surface. This conversation is for anyone dealing with chronic pain, burnout, or a sense of disconnection from their body. It’s a reminder that pain is not the enemy—it’s often a messenger inviting us to slow down, listen, and reconnect with ourselves in a new way. Real freedom begins when you stop trying to override your body and start learning how to trust it. Inside this episode: [00:02:00] Why changing habits doesn’t work without understanding where they began [00:05:00] The difference between external behaviors and the inner emotional environment [00:07:30] How emotional pain showed up in my body during a major life transition [00:12:00] Why ignoring the body’s signals causes pain to speak louder [00:19:30] How fear, identity shifts, and nervous system regulation changed everything If this episode resonated with you, I’d love for you to share it with someone who might need it.

    22 - From Survival to Scale- What It Really takes to Sustain a Multimillion Dollar Vision

    In this episode, I share what it really looked like when Tiny Chefs started to grow. The identity shifts. The leadership challenges. The moments where trusting myself felt terrifying and necessary at the same time. We talk about what happens when you move from doing everything yourself to leading other people, making decisions under pressure, and navigating situations that stretch your nervous system far beyond its comfort zone. I open up about learning to trust my intuition as a leader, hiring and delegating, dealing with conflict, betrayal, and situations that forced me to use my voice in ways I never had before. I share the moments where I felt overwhelmed, wanted to run, or questioned whether I was capable, and how each challenge shaped the next version of me. This episode is about identity evolution. Releasing the version of you who started and allowing yourself to become the version who can lead, receive, and hold more. More responsibility. More visibility. More money. More impact. If you are building something from the ground up, feeling stretched by growth, or standing at the edge of your next expansion, this conversation will remind you that discomfort is not a sign you are failing. It is a sign you are becoming. [02:28] Embracing Uncertainty and Saying Yes as an Entrepreneur [04:22] Navigating Doubt and Trusting Intuition Over Logic [06:19] Stepping into Leadership and Trusting Others with Your Vision [08:36] Handling Betrayal, Confrontation, and Growing Through Adversity [14:01] Releasing Old Versions of Yourself and Expanding into New Levels Loving this podcast?

    21 - How I Built A Multimillion-Dollar Company Without a Map

    This is part one of a two part episode where I’m pulling back the curtain on my entrepreneurial journey and sharing how I built a multi million dollar company without a roadmap, without investors, and without having it all figured out. In this episode, I take you back to the beginning of Tiny Chefs. I share how a simple combination of passion, purpose, and teaching turned into a thriving business that has grown for nearly two decades and is now entering the franchising phase. I talk about starting from the ground up, wearing every hat, and learning through action rather than waiting for perfection. We explore the subconscious beliefs that stop so many women from starting. The fear of being seen. The fear of being judged. The belief that you need more credentials, more money, or more confidence before you begin. I share how those patterns showed up for me, how I underestimated my own success for years, and what shifted when I finally allowed myself to own what I had built. This episode is about identity, resilience, and trusting your inner drive even when you can only see a few feet ahead. If you have ever felt called to build something of your own, whether a business, a brand, or a new chapter of life, this conversation will remind you that momentum comes from action, not certainty. This is for the woman who knows she is meant for more and is ready to move forward even when the path is unclear. Loving this podcast?
