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 Are You Saying Yes To?
Anika Apple and Kailei Carr holding a copy of Healing Is Required.
Happy Anniversary to Healing Is Required!!! Can you believe it, y’all? This book is a full year old! I don’t know where the time went, but I do know there has been a lot of healing happening.
My mentor and sis, Kailei Carr, is pictured with me at the official book launch last year. She blessed the book with a beautiful foreword and prayed me through writing it and living this healing transformation. Thank you, Kailei!
11/11 means many things to people. For me, it is a reminder of divine awakening. A moment when alignment resonates so powerfully that you can feel it.
This year, I also participated in the Industry Exposure Showcase on 11/11. As I celebrated the book’s anniversary, I found myself witnessing this emerging version of me for the first time.
But let me back up.
Have you ever looked at yourself in the mirror and lingered? Looked into your own eyes long enough to really see yourself?
Who did you see?
I’ve been seeing two versions of myself. One deep in shedding, pain, grief and confusion. The other vastly different. Both real. Both me.
I have been integrating, shedding and creating all at the same time. The changes haven’t always been visible to the world. But inside, healing has been happening at a record pace.
I’ve been saying YES.
Yes to transformation. Yes to shedding. Yes to seeing myself differently. Yes to vulnerability. Leading differently. Communicating differently. Being different.
Making room for change is real work. And on 11/11, I got to witness myself on the other side of so much of that work.
I really saw myself. I took in my own beauty. I was fully open to receive.
That was a gift I gave myself.
The yes was to being me. Fully. And giving myself room to witness who I am becoming.
What are you saying yes to?
Are you making room to be fully yourself? To trust what you know, honor what you need and explore what is possible?
If you’re navigating a transition or seeking clarity about what comes next, an Intuitive Guidance session offers space to hear yourself more clearly. Together, we’ll explore what is emerging and uncover insights to support your next steps.
Say yes to yourself. Grab your Intuitive Guidance session below.

Who Are You Calling a Wild Card?
Thank you so much for your votes and time! I felt your energy. I made it to the wildcard round, where the second-place leaders in each group are now competing for the wildcard spot. I'm currently in 6th place, and as you probably know, I love an underdog story!!!
Will you support me by voting in this round? You can vote once every 24 hours, which means you have up to three chances to vote before the round closes on Sunday. Thank you for voting, sharing, and cheering me on. I am grateful for your support.
One of the many ways that I will serve others is through healing experiences. I have a vision for a retreat that supports people with returning home to themselves. Across this experience, participants learn practical tools to nurture themselves, practice various modalities and have a unique healing experience that I lead divinely.
If the healing experience sounds interesting to you and you would like to be one of the first invitees when I launch it, you can join the waitlist here.
Before you fill your calendar, create space to discern what deserves your attention.

The world is changing. How are you preparing to lead?
Join me on Instagram for Advisory Live with Anika, a 30-day series exploring how we lead with greater authenticity, integrate all of who we are, and navigate the uncertainty ahead. I’m bringing my executive experience, prophetic gifts, and strategic insight to conversations that invite you to see yourself and your leadership differently.
Next week, we begin with Day 15: redefining how we measure success as leaders.
What questions do you have about leadership, identity, or business? DM me or email connect@anikaapple.com with the subject line Advisory live. Your question could become a conversation I explore live, with prophetic insight and practical guidance.
Come watch, bring your questions, and share the lives with someone preparing for what’s next.
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.
Want to be in the room live? Join us on Wednesday, November 18 at 8pm ET for the free masterclass.
This is for the women in this community who I believe are closest to the moment this is for.
You already know something has to shift. You have known for a while. And if I am being honest with you, the fact that you are still sitting with it, still turning it over, still looking for the confirmation that tells you it is safe to move — that is not weakness. That is actually one of the most important things I can show you about yourself.
The women who need confirmation before they leap are often the ones who cannot yet see what is standing in their way. Not because they lack clarity. Because the thing that is in the way is so familiar it no longer looks like an obstacle. It just looks like life.
That is exactly the work of Your Remarkable Life Accelerator.
I am holding a small number of priority spaces for members of this community to explore the program in a private one on one conversation with me before the cohort fills. No pressure. No pitch. Just a real conversation between two women about whether this is your moment and whether this is the right room.
If something in you just leaned forward, that is the confirmation you have been waiting for.
Book your conversation below or email me @connect@anikaapple.com.
