Hello friends! I'm Annie and I am SO happy you're here! I've spent the better have of the last decade obsessively consuming growth content - all kinds of topics - so I can help filter through for not only myself but my friends and clients I coach as well. Basically gathering the best tools to not just cliche be the best versions of themselves but to actually take action and live out what FEELS good. Over the past few years, I've transitioned to the role of motherhood. Basically I've climbed to the peak of the mountain after being in the deep valley and I just assumed the climb would be the same since I had "done it before" and then I realized I was in new conditions. The air was thicker, I needed a new set of hikihng boots, my backpack was heavier , etc. I found that just because I climb one mountain doesn't mean the next one will be the same or even easier. No matter what mountain your climbing right now or if you feel like you've been struggling, this podcast will be your reminder that even though your current mountain might look different, it doesn't mean you can't climb it. And more importantly, you CAN also find joy along the way. Because when we can learn that life can be messy, hard, AND joyful .. we can get more life out of life. Through this podcast, I want to help you create your own toolbox of ways to pull yourself up again even admist the hard climb. So friend, welcome to Unrefined Joy - let's fill your cup up so you can go out there and make the most out of your world and feel really good doing it🫶🏼
