Me, You and the Elephant in the Room
I want to break open the issues that people feel strongly about and bring them into open discussion regarding mental health and emotional wellbeing.
I want people to talk about the issues around children and teens and bring to the table their expertise and observations as to how we can really bring about change for them in the way we parent, care for, educate and support them.
I will also invite inspiring people with real stories of their own where life has taken them through horrendous times but they have shown it is possible to break through ones shit and really make change in one's life.
My interviewees will all be really inspirational people with a message who will be sharing the elephant in their room whether that is the reason for the work they do, what they have learned from their childhoods or personal experience and their own journeys.
Me, You and the Elephant in the Room
S1 E2 - Anna Anderson | Leading Edge Life Coach
Anna Anderson is filled with love, not just for her family and the hundreds of women she mentors, but for herself. But it has not always been so – and this is where her story is so inspiring. In our conversation Anna shared how she went from being stuck in self-hatred, constantly struggling with her weight, and loathing her body, to finding peace and acceptance while breaking free from the perpetual cycle of eating, guilt and shame. She is now dedicated to guiding other women through the same empowering transformation, teaching an alternative to dieting that includes self-acceptance and love while nurturing the body, mind and soul. Anna is deeply passionate about helping women unlock limiting belief systems to create freedom, joy and abundance. She is the creator of The Nurture and Nourish System™️, through which she has guided thousands of women on a global basis. If you want to know more of her transformational journey, do join us, and indeed read her wonderful, nurturing book, From The Inside Out.
