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

Aneta's journey is one of profound transformation. After years caught in cycles of substance use, toxic relationships, and emotional pain that began in her youth, she reached a breaking point—and chose healing. That pivotal moment ignited a lifelong calling to walk alongside others who are ready to reclaim their lives.

At the heart of her work 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 Nourished 8:18 Wellness but continues to fuel Aneta's unwavering belief that healing is always within reach, no matter how broken things may seem.

In every client relationship, conversation, and message she shares, Aneta brings authenticity, faith, and fierce dedication to helping others rise above their past and step into lives defined by purpose, wholeness, and peace.
