Reclaiming Self-Esteem with Sara Nativi

In this compelling episode of The Mindful Living, host Sana is joined by Sara Nativi—former professional ballet dancer turned clinical hypnotherapist and RTT practitioner—to explore the hidden cost of perfectionism and the anxiety loops it creates. Sara shares how her pursuit of flawlessness on stage masked deep self-doubt and burnout, and how her healing journey led her to help high achievers reconnect with authentic confidence. Together, they discuss subconscious roots of anxiety, the myth of instant transformation, and why perfectionism is often a trauma response disguised as strength.

Key Takeaways:

• Perfectionism is often a mask for unresolved pain and low self-worth.

• High achievement doesn't equal high self-esteem—many successful people are stuck in invisible anxiety loops.

• Healing is not linear or performance-driven; it requires surrender, presence, and emotional safety.

• Tools like mirror work and conscious self-talk help rebuild somatic self-esteem.

• True transformation comes when we stop "perfecting" healing and start allowing it.
