This episode looks at why having self-grace is so important to your well-being. I also share with you how you can cultivate more self-grace and self-forgiveness in your daily life so you learn not to beat yourself up every time things do not go as you planned or expected.   "You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection." — Buddha  "Grace means that all of your mistakes now serve a purpose instead of serving shame." — Brené Brown    I believe...

This episode is taken from an online training session where I taught on how to stop wasting your precious time, money, and efforts with the wrong people. When we find ourselves in a romantic relationship and especially where we invest a significant amount of effort, we will want to know that it doesn’t go to waste. And while we may not be able to predict the future, we can however put certain measures in place to minimize the chances of ending up disappointed in the relationship choices we...

This is an interview I had as a guest on the Soul Purpose Podcast by Caroline Carey. I had a deep, honest and raw conversation about some of the struggles I experienced growing up during my childhood, teen years and adult life.   “Who would YOU really be if you:  Got rid of your unwanted cultural, religious, parental or societal programming?  Stopped worrying about what others think of you?  Showed up for yourself and your loved ones more authentically?  Read that again.”  - Anne...

This episode is a celebration of lessons learnt or shared across the 100 episodes of my podcast! I look back at some of the best and most impactful and most shared episodes and create something I find empowering, insightful, and inspiring!  “Being right is overrated. Give me Peace Instead. Spiritual Peace so I can forgive, let go, and move on. Physical Peace so I can invest my presence & time with the right people. Emotional Peace so I spend my energy intentionally...

This is taken from an episode where David Roberts interviewed me on his podcast, ‘People with Purpose.’ David and I discuss self-worth, surrounding yourself with the right people, and taking responsibility for your health and choices. We also discuss the importance of living an authentic life rather than one expected of you or simply to please others.    “If you had 1 year to live:   What would you stop doing that no longer serves you?   What would you start doing?   Most...

I believe we all need to feel a sense of aliveness within and around us at some level or another. Aliveness can be described in various ways, and some may use the words excitement, drive, growth, or anything else that expresses their desire to feel an inner explosion of joy, energy, peace, love, hope, etc. “One of my greatest fears is to get to the end of my life and realize I spend it Alive but without Aliveness.” - Anne Hellgren This episode focuses on 3 things that can bring us a...

We all have a desire to get what matters to us in different areas of our lives. Sometimes, it’s in relationships, finances, health, careers, lifestyles, and our purpose. There is plenty of information out there that I have found to be rather misleading and, at worst, downright dangerous. I want to share with you my take on manifesting anything you want in your life. Getting to this has taken me years of reading, spiritual practices, reflection, and much trial and error. But I am pleased...

We all experience low points at some point in our lives; sometimes, those periods last longer than we would wish. In this episode, I want to share my concept of “winning while wounded” so you understand you have the power to choose the right next steps to get you out of this low state. I also share with you a concept I created that has repeatedly helped me tremendously—I call it “My Board Of Directors” or MBOD. “Some people have the best intentions and your best interest at heart- but if...

Humans are social creatures, and belonging is crucial for our well-being. When you feel connected to others, you feel like you're part of something bigger than yourself, which can boost your self-esteem and overall happiness. Strong social connections have also been linked to lower levels of stress. Knowing that you have a support system to lean on can help you cope with life's challenges more effectively and decrease feelings of anxiety. Research suggests that people with strong social...

If you want extra motivation, encouragement, and empowerment, this episode is it! It takes on a slightly different format than usual but promises to inspire you out of any funk or simply uplift you higher than you currently are.  “We all suffer hardships as part of the human experience. We also have a choice on whether we can give our pain a purpose or whether our new purpose becomes to live in pain.” Anne Hellgren   I will focus on the following points:    How to find the purpose of...

I want to talk about the power you hold within you! You are stronger than you think and have more in your future than you can imagine! “You are capable of doing and achieving more than you can ever imagine. But you must allow yourself the opportunity, time, and resilience to do so.” Anne Hellgren In this episode, I will cover the following:  You have survived everything you’ve been through so far, which gives you a 100% survival rate over your struggles thus far. Someone...

This episode needs to be shared as I believe too many people are living life passively instead of intentionally. People do not reach their true potential living a life where coasting is the norm, or where they settle for what they get rather than questioning if there is more they could be doing or giving.  So I ask that you honestly ask yourself where, if any, of these areas of your life are you not giving it your all? Where have you yet to give intentional and conscious efforts to improve...

Let’s spend time together on this episode discussing something that doesn’t get enough air time. I think it’s important because it has the potential to make or break whatever we do in all areas of our lives. This is our tendency to self-sabotage ourselves. “Not loving and respecting yourself is in itself a way of self-sabotage. Therefore, it becomes impossible to self-sabotage when you’ve mastered self-love and self-respect.” Anne Hellgren We have all said or heard it said by others, why...

The last couple of weeks have been a series of trials and turbulence. From my kids being sick and off school and me taking quite a brutal hit on the viruses going around. For weeks, we took turns going into A&E / ER, for one thing after another, between my kids and me. I also had a lot of friends and family around me going through some very difficult personal times. Like anyone else, when your loved ones aren't well, we tend to share in their pain and sorrow. Give yourself some space to...

Have you ever asked yourself who and what is lowering your standards? “Having high standards is not about being picky or unreachable; it's about recognizing your worth, valuing it, and refusing to settle for anything less than you deserve." Anne Hellgren In this episode, I share with you four key areas that affect our standards and go deep into each section so you can understand what you need to work on to improve your standards. I cover the following four areas: How does society...

We know we have all been there, that place of feeling down and stuck in a state of funk that we desperately despair of being in, but struggle to get out of. “Accept those emotions rather than ignore them, in that way, you can truly start to work on them.” - Anne Hellgren It's important to know that there's nothing wrong with you when you find yourself there. However, and I stress this, if you constantly find yourself in a state of feeling very low and/or for long periods of time, please...

I am joined by Natalie Arabella Bailey on this interview to discuss the importance of who and what we allow into our lives, and making the conscious decision to make the changes necessary.   “I think it’s great to be as honest as you can with others, BUT, I don’t believe everyone deserves your vulnerability. If you don’t feel safe and open enough in a relationship, romantic or non-romantic, exercise wisdom in what you share.” Anne Hellgren Natalie is a Property Developer, Coach, and Mentor,...

And what’s the difference between a soul mate and a twin flame? Alexander and I go deep and honest about the concept of whether we are really made to have that one particular person who is amazingly and “perfectly” made for you. Or if you meet someone and together you make each other perfect for each other. Or can you have more...
