You will feel nothing but energy.

This was Anna's nomination: 

She picnics at the top of the tallest trees a person can find, she rock climbs with her dog slung around her shoulders. Movement is like breathing to Anna and she is a fearless adventurer.

The best part, she takes people along with her, always teaching, encouraging and believing in them. Anna is a woman of influence because she stops to look people dead in the eye and say, 'but how are YOU?'

She sees into people in a way most don't and then invites them into her world to access whatever it is they might need.

A chat, community, a yoga class, an art session, a laugh, a hula hoop or fire twirling lesson, you name it.

Anna has time for people and she has compassion for people. She's seen all sorts of things in life, but she doesn't discriminate between someone being upset over a spilled coffee or a significant trauma.

Anna's personal philosophy is inclusion. So when she had a knee replacement recently and had to stop all movement, she thought that'd possibly break her.

But in true Anna style, life has only improved since. achievements:
received multiple scholarships and worked part time to support herself through school as a teenager
managed to get into a uni course underage because she proved she can go above and beyond, and then she aced it
a kinship carer as a teenager / young adult
art therapist
play therapist
works with children and teenagers in multiple capacities who have experienced significant trauma 
yoga teacher
breath work facilitator
workshops, retreats, camps, groups, one on ones

Women of Influence, with Kate Meade for ACE Radio.

We are on a mission to find the most incredible women. Some we will know, others are going about their daily lives. Everyone has a story. 

She is a CEO, She is a volunteer, She is a TV host, She is a doctor, an educator, a scientist, a leader. She is just getting on with it. What can we learn from her, what’s her message? 

Join me to celebrate incredible, inspiring women and shine a great big beacon of light on their stories. Let’s learn from the women that are paving the way for us.

I love to learn and my favourite way is through storytelling. I am curious - absolutely fascinated - with people's stories. I can’t wait to get to KNOW the person in front of me and HOW they got to be where they are today. 

Where did they grow up, what gets them excited, why do they do what they do and, when it gets tough… why do they do what they do?

This is the Women of Influence Podcast.
