From Survival to Significance: How to Step Into True Empowerment with Boyan Dobrev
In this episode, I sit down with the incredible Boyan Dobrev—an empowerment coach whose work is rooted in emotional healing, nervous system regulation, and full-body alignment. What started as a career in osteopathy evolved into a soul-led mission to help people move beyond survival and into true significance. And let me tell you—this conversation is full of truth bombs.
We explore emotional freedom technique (EFT), theta healing, and the ways stuck energy and unprocessed emotion can silently shape our lives, our health, and our businesses. Boyan shares the four stages of empowerment—survival, stability, success, and significance—and how getting honest about where you actually are is the first step to real transformation.
We talk about the mind-body connection, the power of intuitive decision-making, and why so many entrepreneurs stay stuck in hustle mode because they haven’t done the inner work.
This episode isn’t just about healing—it’s about reclaiming your energy, trusting your intuition, and learning how to feel safe in the life you’re building.
We also dive into the role of Human Design and quantum shifts, and how alignment isn’t a luxury—it’s the foundation of meaningful, sustainable growth.
If you’ve been feeling disconnected, stuck, or like you’re carrying things that were never meant to be yours... this episode is your reminder that healing doesn’t have to take forever—and that freedom is already available when you're willing to meet yourself honestly.

Let’s go there.
