In this deeply moving and inspiring conversation, Amy welcomes author, songwriter, executive, entrepreneur, and creative visionary Tova Citrin to Into the Heart: Finding Wisdom Within.

After spending decades building successful companies, Tova found herself facing a season of profound personal and professional upheaval. Divorce, betrayal, war, and unexpected life challenges stripped away the identity she had carefully constructed and invited her into a journey of rediscovering who she truly was beneath the roles, titles, and expectations.

This heart-centered conversation touches on resilience, intuition, empathy, spirituality, creativity, forgiveness, and the courage required to begin again.

In this powerful episode, Amy sits down with Ani Anderson, mindset and motivation expert, bestselling author of Manifestation For Dummies, and CEO of the Somatic Coaching Academy.

Together, they explore a fresh perspective on manifestation, one rooted not in positive thinking alone, but in the wisdom of the body. Ani shares how sensation-based manifestation helps people move beyond mental strategies and reconnect with their nervous system, intuition, and innate capacity for healing.

The conversation covers somatic coaching, present-moment awareness, embodiment practices, self-reference, and the three levels of manifestation. Ani also explains why personal growth requires practice and patience, and how simple tools like movement, breathwork, self-massage, and body awareness can help us create meaningful change.

If you've ever felt disconnected from your intuition or frustrated by traditional manifestation approaches, this episode offers a compassionate and practical path back to yourself.
