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. My work lives at the intersection of divine wisdom and strategic leadership, and I have a gift for helping high achievers see what has been hiding beneath the surface of their success. I am the founder of The Healing Crusade, a 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. My clients have included leaders at global organizations and the results they describe are not incremental. They are life-changing. My book, Healing Is Required, 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.

What No Mastermind Could Give Me | Your Remarkable Life, August 28, 2026
Published 1 day ago • 5 min read
This thing has levels, y’all
Woman on the beach at sunset.
When I made the shift from corporate, I believed I was ready for EVERYTHING that business ownership could throw at me. I was no stranger to under-resourced, minimally funded and transforming businesses. Did I ever tell you about my Head of HR role that supported 3 GMs and led DEI for an entire business segment? Listen, I was pretty clear that my successes there proved I could do anything!
And I can. I am. I will.
But not without acknowledging the road that I’ve been on. It’s safe to say that most of my decisions hit immediate conflict. I’ve navigated lack of clarity, hiding, resourcing challenges, team structure and the ultimate question: where to focus my efforts. All of this in a business that God showed me and designed.
I’m not sure why I thought the road would be simpler. In truth, it probably is much simpler than I made it because I was fighting myself the entire time. I realized that I was creating what I thought others expected me to create in the beginning. Then, I started to create more of what I wanted but was scared to really share it. I’ve been living one of the core truths I share with everyone. I support every client with exploring how who they are shows up wherever they go. Truth is, we all know that it’s harder to see yourself than it is to see others, which is why all great coaches have coaches!
Here is what I know. The moment you are ready to see more of who you are, your patterns and the roots beneath them, the pathway to explore them opens. My journey, every 6 months or so, takes me much deeper into the root of who I am at my core, what I came here to do, and how areas of healing influence who I am becoming. My relationship with my business strengthens every time I address my own needs for healing and transformation.
The levels are always there. If you could see all the way down to the root of things at the beginning of your exploration, you would experience overwhelm. Thank GOD for the levels, literally. They give us space to rest during progress rather than feeling overwhelmed by the depth of things we can’t quite fully understand yet.
The tool that has been most impactful on my journey has been this… my Truth.
Anika Apple on set- The Making of An Entrepreneur
The truth you tell yourself holds so many clues about what is really going on. Sometimes we silence the truth we know. In other moments, we trade our truths for someone else’s. Truth can feel evasive and sometimes layered. I believe that you and I are holding different definitions of what truth even means at this very moment.
Discovering Truth for myself has changed who I am, my business, relationships and how I relate to life itself. It’s not something to create. It exists within you, waiting to be unleashed. You already know it, just like I knew owning a business would require something from me that I didn’t yet have. It wasn’t in all of the courses, coaching, mentorship and masterminds, although they are so valuable. I had to start with truth, really what was within me. It set the foundation for what you see today and where we are growing (yes, not going, but truly growing).
I'm building something REMARKABLE that launches next month, and I can't wait to share it with you. But before we get there, this moment is about you. It's time for you to rediscover your truth.
You will find that the ultimate compass for everything that you want in life points within you first. Grab a journal and enjoy The Truth You Already Know, a free masterclass designed to take you deeper into what you already know.
Real talk, I am living my Remarkable Life. This season is one of miracles. I am trusting God in a way that I did not know was possible and watching things unfold around me in ways that blow my mind. I am healing my relationship to being our best-kept secret while preparing for the one-year anniversary of Healing Is Required in a few months! I am building on a solid foundation and am so excited for what is to come.
Next month, we sunset our community on Mighty Networks. The Healing Crusade team and I thank you for being a part of our journey. We have something exciting coming this fall to continue our commitment to creating community spaces and offering resources that support healing. Once we launch it, you will be among the first to know, so stay tuned.
There are levels to this thing, y’all. And I am grateful for the truth that meets us at every one.
Peace and Blessings!

In this Divine Guidance episode for August 2026, I dive deep into one powerful word: diversion. If you’ve been feeling stuck, off-course, or overwhelmed by all the noise in the world—you're not alone. Lately, so many of us are sensing constant roadblocks, inner turbulence, and distractions that pull us away from our true path and assignment. The pain is real: it’s far too easy to lose your footing, neglect self-care, or get swept up in diversions that drain your power and make you question your purpose.
But here's the truth: these diversions can actually become gateways to transformation if you allow yourself to see them through God’s eyes. I share how embracing the reroutes, taking intentional breaks, and strengthening your spiritual practices can position you for the seasons ahead. The episode is a call to reconnect with your Creator, reaffirm your identity, and prepare for what’s next, not in fear, but in power and clarity.
If you’re ready to shift out of confusion and into divine alignment, watch the full episode now. Let’s navigate these times together and step boldly into who we were designed to be.
If something in the August Divine Guidance episode or this newsletter is stirring something within you, pay attention to it. Sometimes we know there is more to explore, but we need a trusted space to hear ourselves more clearly.
My 1:1 Intuitive Guidance Session is an opportunity to do just that. Together, we explore what is present for you, reconnect you with your inner truth and create space for the clarity and guidance already within you.

Sometimes, the clarity we’re searching for isn’t something we need to find. It’s something we need to trust.
The Truth You Already Know is a masterclass for the moments when you know something is shifting, but you’re still discerning what comes next. Together, we explore how to reconnect with your inner knowing, recognize what may be keeping you stuck, and move forward with greater clarity, alignment and self-trust.
As part of this community, I’d love for you to experience the free masterclass.

Do You Really Agree? Anika Apple with Robert Hartwell and Andrew Norlen. Last week in New York was everything! I met remarkable leaders, shared the stage with Robert Hartwell and Andrew Norlen, was interviewed by Ms. Elizabeth, and left with new friendships and ideas for the future. Then, almost instantly, I was pulled out of the celebration and back into something much more personal. An old agreement. Old agreements are like beliefs we've stopped questioning. Eventually, they become the...
That Good Ole July Fire (Works) Is it just me, or does the fact that we are in July 2026 feel WILD? We're celebrating the 250 years of US independence in a whirlwind of rights being stripped away and freedom restricted. It feels like a heavy conflict for me. But if I'm honest, many celebrations have occurred in tandem with people experiencing loss of rights, inability to speak freely, and being ostracized for their beliefs around the world. It's not a new conflict, but nonetheless, I am tired...
What's The Truth You Are Overlooking? Spoiler Alert... The truth was always within you. Picture the moment when Obi Wan Kenobi says, "May the force be with you." Just like Luke Skywalker and so many other protagonists we've loved and admired throughout our lives, they come to discover that they always had access to what they were looking for. They are mirrors reflecting back to us, reminding us that the truth, or whatever we might be seeking, is already within us. Episode 4 Movie GIF by Star...
