    #17 Completed, Not Perfect: A Conversation for Women Who Are Done Waiting to Be Ready With Andreea

    This episode is a grounded, intimate conversation for women who know they are no longer who they were, but haven’t fully stabilised in who they’re becoming yet. In this conversation, Samantha sits with Andreea to explore the invisible reasons women delay finishing, sharing, and being seen. Not because they lack discipline or confidence, but because visibility has never felt safe. Together, they speak about: - Perfectionism as a nervous system response - The fear of being seen unfinished - Healing visibility wounds without forcing confidence - The difference between preparing and hiding - Why completedness changes lives while perfection keeps women small This is not a “how-to” episode. It’s a witnessing. If you’ve outgrown the version of yourself that once kept you safe and you’re learning how to stand in your work, your voice, and your truth without over-performing, this conversation is for you. Allow me to introduce you to Andreea Prorokova: Andreea is an artist. Contemplative. Mother to a complex teenager. In a long, grateful partnership with a man who can meet her uneven, unconventional nature.  She’s a dancer. Explorer. Lifelong nerd of consciousness. And calls herself a Wildness Activator.  She guides women in their 40s and 50s who’ve succeeded, and quietly left parts of themselves behind. Her work lives in the body. She blends somatics, dance, nervous-system intelligence, intuitive coaching, art, and subtle energetics. Her current offerings include (but are not limited to): 1. The Nonchalance Code Activation Program; helping you embody a new level of easiness, boldness and self-expression in life and business.  2. The Naughty Leaders Club (opening February); a membership based magic intimate island where we intend to build discipline in an elixir of somatic practices that allow for upgrades in your work, relationships, and life to emerge. 3 Author of Anti-Procrastination for Playful Goddesses (coming soon on Amazon).  A personal, unapologetic exploration of how trauma quietly shapes procrastination - and the hidden patterns that keep women stuck despite “knowing better.”  This work helps women identify their procrastination style, map it clearly, and reclaim aligned action - not through discipline, but through the body.  Because insight without embodiment changes nothing.  Connect with Our Guest - Andreea Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/AndreeaG.Prorokova  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/andreeaprorokova/ Website: www.theplayfulgoddess.com  Connect with Samantha Sanford - The Rebel Matriarch Instagram: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/rebelmatriarch/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/samantha.haddad.58/ Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@rebelmatriarch

Tori helps women over 40 lose weight, restore their energy and reclaim their health, without starvation, diets or punishing workouts.

And when you change the environment, the body knows exactly how to heal. Her signature program, the Radiant Health Reset, has helped hundreds of women shed stubborn weight, eliminate chronic pain, balance hormones and finally feel like themselves again.

Women who are done accepting exhaustion, weight gain, and declining health as "just part of getting older."
