Life changing! I've reimagined my career but most importantly I've created a life that's uniquely my own. It has required stepping off of the socially sanctioned path, but it feels so good, I know it must be right.

I've launched a lifestyle store which has been a 20+ year suppressed creative dream. I feel relaxed, I feel excited about my future, I feel aligned within my being.

I've found the bullseye in terms of that intersection between what I'm good at, what I like, and what matters to me. My energy levels couldn't be higher, I'm doing exactly what I want to be doing.

Anne has helped me to tune into and harness my intuition. This, combined with practical strategies, has given me a robust vision for my career that I feel truly excited about. My trust in myself is higher than its ever been.

Anne changed my life. I've changed industries, opened my own side business, and generally feel unstoppable. I let go of perfection and the belief that I'd failed. I now realize how much further you can go when you love doing something.

I am transformed! I have restructured my job so it now works better for me post maternity leave. I have made many new, valuable connections that I speak to regularly. Most important, its provided me with the confidence to trust my feelings.

I feel like a different person, I left tech and started my own consulting business. Previously I operated from fear. Now I operate from what's actually right for me.

This is life-changing. We broke down all the ideas of what I thought I 'should' be so I could ask myself what do I actually want? I moved cities, started a new job; I feel lighter, clearer and more energized.

I now have a sense of purpose and direction. In the past when my professional status came up I would feel myself shrinking, now I want to talk about what I do. I feel more sure about who I am: I'm a video artist.





"I started a fitness franchise, something I never would have done if I had kept my 'work has to be serious' belief."



"I now think about my plans with a gentle belief in my own abilities. It feels like a warm, reassuring hug."



"I finally gave myself permission to become an entrepreneur, launching my venture studio: Riptide Holdings."
