The Amberly Lago Show: Stories of True Grit and Grace

Why True Healing Requires Faith and Surrender with Alejandra Crisafulli


Listen Later

Welcome back to another deeply powerful episode of The Amberly Lago Show. This conversation is one that touched my heart on such a profound level, because we're talking about something so many women silently struggle with: identity, healing, worthiness, and the exhausting pressure to constantly prove ourselves.

In this episode, I sit down with one of my closest friends and someone who has personally impacted my life in incredible ways, Alejandra Crisafulli, creator of the transformative 180 Method, award-winning master coach, speaker, entrepreneur, and faith-driven leader.

Alejandra has spent more than two decades helping people uncover the deeper roots behind their patterns, limiting beliefs, burnout, perfectionism, and emotional struggles. But what makes her work so powerful is that it goes far beyond traditional self-help.

In this conversation, we talk about how true healing happens when we stop trying to "fix" ourselves through hustle, achievement, or endless striving, and instead begin reconnecting with who God says we are.

Alejandra vulnerably shares her own journey through anxiety, panic attacks, insomnia, burnout, and emotional exhaustion, despite years of coaching others. She opens up about the moment she realized that all the personal development tools in the world still felt incomplete without a true relationship with God.

Together, we explore the difference between surrender and succumbing, the role the ego plays in keeping us stuck, and why so many high-achieving women carry the hidden belief that they are "not enough."

This episode is filled with wisdom, healing, faith, and practical insight for anyone who feels tired of carrying the weight of perfectionism, people-pleasing, overachieving, or trying to hold everything together alone.

If you've been searching for deeper peace, healing, and freedom, this conversation will remind you that true transformation begins when you stop striving to prove your worth and start receiving the truth of who you already are.
