| 40. Rewiring Your Subconscious: Habits, Programming & Inner Change with Anna Machkalov | 12 Dec 2025 | 00:50:42 | |
So much of who we think we are… isn’t actually us. In this mind-opening SoulPod episode, Crystal sits down with subconscious guide Anna Machkalov to explore how much of our behavior, emotional reactions, and even our “choices” are shaped long before we’re aware of them. They dive into the human mind’s evolutionary wiring, why habits are so hard to break, and how the subconscious prioritizes safety over happiness, even when it sabotages the life you consciously want. Anna breaks down how the critical mind filters our desires, how hypnosis bypasses outdated programming, and why true transformation only happens when the subconscious finally feels safe enough to change. Along the way, they explore dreams, lucid states, subconscious symbols, and the moments when the mind reveals what you’re actually ready to heal. This episode is an invitation to understand your programming, reconnect with your inner world, and finally step into the version of yourself you’ve been trying to become.
