In this episode of Walk With Me, host Stephanie Bloom sits down with Anat Peri, an inner child expert and mentor to coaches and healers, to explore what real healing looks like beyond "just thinking positive."

Anat shares her personal journey from childhood in Israel to becoming a mentor for those seeking emotional resilience and self-trust. She opens up about the impact of growing up in a home where love existed, but emotional expression did not — and how that early conditioning shaped her ability to connect, self-soothe, and feel safe within herself.

Through candid stories and practical wisdom, Anat reveals why positive thinking alone can't heal emotional wounds, how reparenting the self can create lasting transformation, and what it means to build true safety in the body. Together, we unpack the difference between coping and healing — and why learning to feel is the key to freedom.
