    Aneta Waclaw

    Co-Founder, Nourished 8:18 Wellness, LLC
    Mental Health Advocate | Author | Podcast Host | Recovery Warrior

    Aneta Waclaw is the co-founder of Nourished 8:18 Wellness, a virtual wellness and recovery center based in Toledo, Ohio. She’s also the author of Blooming with Self-Love: 31 Days of Positive Affirmations and host of the podcast Nourished Inside Out. Through every platform, Aneta’s mission is the same: to give people the tools, hope, and encouragement she once needed in her darkest moments.

    Aneta’s own story is one of transformation. She began using drugs and alcohol at a young age and found herself in a cycle of toxic relationships and emotional pain. But after reaching a breaking point, she chose healing—and never looked back. That turning point sparked a lifelong passion to walk alongside others who are ready to reclaim their lives.

    At the heart of everything she does is Romans 8:18:
    “The pain that you’ve been feeling can’t compare to the joy that is coming.”
    This verse not only inspired the name of Nourished 8:18 Wellness, but also fuels Aneta’s unwavering belief that healing is always possible—no matter how broken things may feel.

    With every client, every conversation, and every word she shares, Aneta brings authenticity, faith, and fierce dedication to helping others rise above their past and step into a life of purpose, wholeness, and peace.
