Some people talk about healing. I create the conditions for it to happen. I am a spiritual strategist, trusted advisor, and author with over 25 years of experience guiding executives, entrepreneurs, and visionary leaders through the kind of transformation that changes not just what they do, but who they are. Her work lives at the intersection of divine wisdom and strategic leadership, and she has a gift for helping high achievers see what has been hiding beneath the surface of their success.She is the founder of The Healing Crusade, a growing community built around personal and collective restoration, and the host of The Anika Apple Podcast, where prophetic clarity meets practical guidance for people ready to live with greater purpose and alignment. Her clients have included leaders at global organizations such as Mars, PepsiCo, and Edelman, and the results they describe are not incremental. They are life-changing.Her book, Healing Is Required, is the culmination of that work. It is a prophetic call to awaken, release what no longer serves, and rise into the fullness of who you were created to be. Equal parts mirror and map, it meets readers exactly where they are and refuses to let them stay there.If you are ready to stop performing and start healing, you are in the right place.Grab the book at HealingIsRequired.com and learn more about working with Anika at AnikaApple.com.

The kind where your body just says absolutely not and means it. I had always been the person who could climb the mountain. Every time. Until I couldn't. And instead of asking why, my first response was to wonder what was wrong with me. And when I tell you, I was stuck there. Whew, the stories we tell ourselves....
You Are Already Ready There are these pinnacle moments where you get to really see it all. It’s as if the clouds parted, and for the first time in a while, you see the beauty of a clear blue night sky full of stars. You knew the stars and sky were there, even though you couldn’t see them through the cloud cover or dark sky. Perhaps it was location, weather, or some other occurrence that blocked your view. But man, when you can see it so clearly, it's like taking your first full inhalation...
