Valedictorian, a major award and an incredibly coveted first job later, one graduate is still sticking to the same game plan that got her there: staying focused on her own achievements and believing that everything that happens is for a big reason.  In this episode of The Protégé Podcast, host Naomi Neilson is joined by University of Queensland graduate Anna Kretowicz to talk about her accomplishments so far – finishing top of her class, receiving the Una Prentice Award and securing one of the best first jobs in the profession, to name a few – but, more importantly, the positive mindset that she has kept with her throughout it all.  For Anna, every experience and every opportunity that has come her way has been worth something in the end, even if she learnt that it was something she would never want to do again and even if it meant detouring from her path for a little bit. On top of it all, it was important to be ready for a rejection for the risk of a best-case scenario.  “That's another piece of advice that I would give to other law students or other law graduates or young professionals, anyone who's in a space where there might be particular opportunities open to you is just put your name down for things. Put your hand up and say, ‘Hey, I want to give this a go'. Best case is it works out for you. Worst case scenario, it's a no,” Anna told listeners.  She also advises other students and graduates to not be too wrapped up in their peers' achievements and to remember that there are “plenty of seats at the table” for their own wins: “Just because someone's doing something particularly interesting, it doesn't mean that you have to as well.”  We also chat about making a mid-university degree change and the mindset behind making that happen, getting all the way to the High Court and social advocacy work.  Check out the episode below! If you have any questions about the episode or if there are any topics that you might want us to look into, please reach out – we would love to hear from you!  We're also always open to new guests so if you have an exciting story to tell, if you're standing out as a student or graduate, or if you can offer some tips for our young lawyers, get in touch.  You can reach us here: Emails: editor@lawyersweekly.com.au or naomi.neilson@momentummedia.com.au Socials: Follow us on LinkedIn, Facebook and Twitter or reach out to me directly here.

I think part of every traveler thought about becoming an English as a Second Language teacher just for the prospect of travel. For Anna, that’s exactly how she ended up living in Japan for 5 years. The rural countryside usually doesn’t get as much attention as bigger cities like Tokyo but this episode will change your mind.

How you ever had a sleep-over as an adult?  Like, with a friend, not the other way!  Adult slumber parties have been trending recently, and Anna has some fun ideas about what she would do at asleep-over as a married adult! What life hack do you use that actually works?  Tiktok life hacks have become very popular, but Anna realized something.  At least half of them are LIES!  Find out which hacks are real in the podcast!  (3:06) Our phones are an important part of our daily life, but if you're willing to do THIS to save your phone, that's all I need to know about you!  (7:00) Every week, Raven's wife Alicia calls the show and gives Raven a grade for how he did as a husband this week.  Last weekend was Valentines Day's, so the pressure was on!  What grade will he get this week?  (10:24) What's the farthest you've ever walked?  A 90 year old woman was scheduled to have a Covid vaccine, but on the day of her appointment there was a huge snow storm.  You won't believe how far she walked to make it to her appointment on time!  (14:17) What makes you feel alive?  The Mars Rover landed yesterday and Anna and Raven loved watching all the NASA employees celebrate.  It made them wonder, what makes someone feel alive?  For Anna, she love's the feeling of doing a great stand-up set, but Raven gets a kick out of doing THIS with his socks!  (18:17) What's the most expensive mistake you ever made?  Citi Bank accidentally transferred another company half a billion dollars.  It reminded Anna of the time that she did THIS to her newly-bought, 90 year old house!  (28:53) Eric's best friends is constantly calling his girlfriend, Denise, "the distraction". He puts her down in a joking way, but she thinks it's annoying and offensive. He calls her "the third wheel" and jokes that his best friend can do better- He even compared her to one of his exes. She wants him to stop hanging out with his best friend. He says that's just his personality, he's a funny guy, he doesn't mean it. He's been his best friend since they were six years old. She'll grow to love him and his sarcastic humor. Whose side are you on?  (35:12) Bob wants to win that $800 bucks!  Does he have what it takes to beat Raven in pop culture trivia?  (42:27)

Anna Edwards is a dyslexic learner, but she has made an effort to hide that from her friends and colleagues. For Anna, there was a stigma surrounding the "D" word. She shares with us in this episode that she felt fearful for what being dyslexic meant for her as a person. This feeling was reinforced over the years by comments of not being smart enough or people sharing with her how surprised they were that she COULD do so much. Now as a pediatric nurse practitioner she uses her skill set to provide empathy and active listening for her clientele. This approach allows her patients to open up in a unique and thoughtful way. Her approach to reinforces a more holistic model in a very scientific field of work combines all types of learning styles to her career as a dyslexic person in a highly educated field. Most importantly, Anna is working through these concepts of self-worth and reclaiming her value, not only for her, but also to prepare the path for her own daughter. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/dyslexicallysuccessful/message

Anna and Morgan have been together for 15 years and they've developed an extraordinary relationship. But how did they get there? What is the foundation of their strong relationship? What did their journey look like? In this episode of My Extra Mile, Anna + Morgan share how they developed their relationship and what ‘life together' looks like for them. You will want to hear this episode if you are interested in...   What ‘life together' means to Morgan + Anna Building an extraordinary relationship on unconditional trust Why “Self-love” isn't woo-woo but vitally important Internal motivation is the driving factor for change Why you NEED to nail down your shared values The difference between a belief and a value Why people attract the wrong men or women An exercise: Look at your non-negotiables together A life lived 100% together    Anna + Morgan do ALL of life together. They work from home together, they work out together, and they travel the world together. Morgan jokes that the only reason they don't have kids yet is because he doesn't like going to the gym alone.   Has it always been easy? Of course not. Things were toxic when they were young and in the “party” phase of their life. They're careful to point out that they're not perfect and their life journey is unique to them.   You simply have to know what you want. Anna knew from the time she met Morgan that he was always going to be in her life. They failed forward together and held each other through the lowest of the lows. They've navigated the highs together as well.   They've had so many ups and downs. Morgan has spent many nights on the couch. But they've gotten to a beautiful stage in their 30's. They don't really fight—they disagree, then they're over it. But how did they get there? Unconditional trust + Self-love   Morgan points out that their relationship is built on unconditional trust. He trusts Anna with his life. Whatever is going on, they always come back together. They know that they can't live without each other in their lives. They're a team, a unit, lovers, & best friends. They take those responsibilities seriously.   But they also love themselves—and unconditional love for yourself spills over into your relationships. You have to feel whole in yourself first to feel whole in a relationship. As you learn to love and trust yourself more, your relationship can flourish. Anna loves the quote by Maya Angelou: “I don't trust people who don't love themselves and tell me, 'I love you.'”   People run into issues because they look for motivation from external circumstances or other people. External factors can be motivating, but the motivation for real and lasting change—physical or otherwise—has to come from within.   Because Anna and Morgan strive towards becoming their own powerful individuals their life together has become sweeter and more grounded. But they admit it's a journey. You NEED alignment on core values   What are your shared values? If your highest value doesn't align with your significant others, the simple truth is that you probably won't work out. That's not saying you have to agree on everything—because that's not how relationships work. But your life-values need to align and adapt together. You can have separate growth journeys, but they need to intersect.   Morgan's example is Protestants and Catholics: Their core beliefs are completely different, but their values are the same. You need to sit down and hash out what your values are together. For Anna and Morgan, the things that matter most to them—honesty, integrity, humor, and trust—bind them together.   So how do you develop an extraordinary relationship? How do you find out if your values align? Anna and Morgan state you need to determine your values.   Determine your values by taking Dr. DeMartini's Value Determination Test. Most people think they know where their values lie and then find out they were dead wrong. It's perfectly fine—but it's better to know. You can then navigate and work out your life around your values. If your relationship is in turmoil and you're at a crossroads, nail down your individual values. If they don't intersect, it may be time to move on.   Anna and Morgan share other resources that they believe impacted their relationship positively—be sure to listen for their recommendations.

For Anna’s Wedding - by Randall Hinds.

I denne episode gæster Anna Friberg, også kendt som Moderfødsel, podcasten.  Anna er uddannet sygeplejerske og doula, og så er hun lige nu gravid med sit andet barn. I denne graviditet har hun taget flere alternative valg - eller fravalg. For Anna har valgt at lytte 100% til sin intuition og mavefornemmelse, og har derfor fravalgt den ellers velkendte skabelon på, hvordan man almindeligvis gør, når man er gravid, med tests, scanninger, hospitals - og jordemoderbesøg. Anna og jeg tager en samtale om graviditet, førdsel, bristninger, efterfødselskrop og vi tager også en kritisk snak om fødselsområdet, systemet og oplevelsen af udnyttelse og overgreb på gravide. For er der altid informeret samtykke? Og hvordan hænger det egentlig sammen med kropsautonomi, rettigheder og baby i maven? 

This episode is a special CHALLENGE EPISODE, where we dig deeper into Vega's challenge of figuring out how to feel better in a new country. Vega struggles with adapting to Denmark, (s)he believes that it is difficult to make friends or get a job if you're a foreigner. So how can (s)he make her stay here more pleasurable? Challenge Description: Hi, my challenge is that I'm an international and I find this society quite hostile towards foreign people. As if they were afraid of us, only because they don't know any different than their home culture (most often that's the case). They are beaming with this "silent" racism often. They will not insult you, but I don't see that they treat you equal. See that on the job market, see in personal life. Close to zero to get a Danish friend. Can't stand this situation, yet I'm not planning to leave DK yet. One day will fir sure, but how to make my life more pleasant til that "one day"? Thanks The 5 Options Both Marta and Anna used to feel in a similar way about living in Denmark. For Anna's take on Denmark, it was getting together with her partner Dave who has cracked the code of making friends with Danes, that has helped a lot. While Marta has been figuring it out on her own, all the way from I can't see myself living here to this is my home

It seems like anxiety, depression and other mental health issues are elevated more than ever. For Anna, this all hit home personally as she navigated her own battle with it, while also experiencing the loss of a friend to suicide last year. In this episode you'll hear Anna's vulnerability on this topic, and hopefully be inspired to remember you're not alone.

In today's episode, I speak with Jack's mom, Anna Whiston-Donaldson. Jack died in 2011 at the age of 12 in a freak flash flood while playing at a neighbor's house. Anna had (and still has) a very popular blog post at the time entitled An Inch of Gray. After Jack's death, the family's whole world was turned up-side-down. As we all know, each family member had to find different ways to try to cope with their grief. For Anna, this meant continuing to write her blog. She said that 'her readers kept showing up so she kept writing.' Her writings about her grief were raw and full of emotion which led to her being discovered by an agent and then a publisher who asked her to write a book. The resulting book, Rare Bird, is a painful, honest and real book about grief. Reading it helped normalize my personal feelings and those of many others. Anna now speaks all over the country to groups about parental grief. This has become her passion, as it has become mine. We both strive to help people who walk this path with us, and perhaps even more importantly, help those who will walk the path after us. Today, we talk about our personal journeys as well as struggles that we have heard from others. We discuss the impact on surviving siblings as well and how sometimes, they can feel isolated and out of place. Anna's new book, A Hug from Heaven, is a book for grieving children. Being there for each other as a community of grievers is important; helping our surviving children not feel forgotten is vital.    Ways to Connect With Anna Learn more about Anna by visiting her website: annawhistondonaldson.com Follow her blog: aninchofgray.blogspot.com Follow her on Facebook and Twitter @aninchofgray Follow her on Instagram @annawhistondonaldson Purchase her books by clicking below: For Rare Bird: andysmom.com/rarebird For A Hug From Heaven (children's book): andysmom.com/hug

Anna Darian was 10 years old when she abruptly moved with her mother to America. Some years later, at Odyssey's Forgiveness/Grudges show in September 2016, she told the story of that journey, and of her relationship with the father she left behind. From Anna's Odyssey bio: Anna Darian is a storyteller in Phoenix. But don't hold that against her cause she is also a proud Tucsonan and a 3-generation Wildcat! Anna discovered the world of storytelling last year when she stopped by an open mic night and got hooked instantly. Since then, she has taken the stage several times, including one unforgettable night at the Erotic Poetry & Music Festival (what?!?). She's also shared stories at Moth Story Slams, including a recent win at the New York slam. When she isn't airing her dirty laundry on stage, Anna loves to dance, travel, go to concerts, and chill with her family in Tucson. To pay the bills, she has a day job supporting community development projects in Phoenix, which she loves equally. For Anna, story is a way of life. She is as nosy as she is an over-sharer. She lives for the euphoria of uncensored honesty, and truly thinks that world peace could be achieved through story. Ok, maybe the last one was a stretch, but seriously, this is a revolution, people, get excited! This episode was performed and recorded in front of a live audience at The Screening Room in Tucson, AZ, on September 1st, 2016, and was curated by Molly McCloy.

For Anna, it was more a feeling than anything:on paper, she had the life she wanted, but when it came to what was happening behind closed doors, she was drowning.She yelled at her kids.She wasn't the wife she wanted to be.She really didn't know who she was, or how to get out of this hole.4 Months ago, when Anna and I first jumped on a call together, I could see how overwhelmed and broken she was. As she explained to me:"Motherhood threw me for six, and I didn't know how to fix it.""Nothing material changed, but everything has changed."This is what happens when we start to really show up for this, .We stop yelling and become the mama we want to be.We forgive ourselves and those around us.We have the tools to cope with whatever comes our way.We KNOW that no matter what, we'll never ever go back to who we were again.Anna's story is possible for us all.When you surround yourself with the most divine group of mamas, and show up as best you can each day, things will change - it is impossible for them NOT to.No matter where you are in your motherhood story, you can take the smallest steps to begin your own healing. And if you want to explore whether a 4 month program, like my Divine Life, is right for you, here are the details. It closes on the 6th of June, and places are strictly limited.

Everyone deals with pain differently. For Anna prayer and always seeking God is still her answer. No matter what she was going through she always trusted God to protect her, her brother and her mother. Intro music is "Family Montage" by Biz Baz Studio.

Anna calls herself a recovering Southern, Bible-belt good girl. Growing up in a nurturing Christian family and a wonderful church, Anna had all the support and tools to build a strong faith. But being someone who enjoys keeping rules and achieving success, Anna began building her sense of worth in her performance and achievements. Inevitably, goals, pursuits or people fail us... leaving us disillusioned with life and maybe even disappointed with God. For Anna, these moments allowed her to experience God’s faithfulness and provision in new and powerful ways. And she began learning to trust God with her past, present, and future,

Jillian Turecki is interviewing podcast host, Anna Goldstein as the interviewee. Jillian has appeared as a guest previously on the podcast. In this podcast, Jillian and Anna talk about coaching and what it means to Anna. What does being a coach mean to you? For Anna, being a coach means of great value. She grew up around great coaches. She grew up as a tennis player. She had coaches in her life when she was as young as nine years old. They played a big role in her life from the very beginning. Being a tennis player helped her avoid trouble. It kept her focused. She got into coaching by being a tennis coach which was her first job. She has had the relationship with the word coach from a very long time. She started her company 10 years ago and back then, coaching was completely different from what it is now. Coaching back then was mostly associated with sports. The meaning of it has now changed. Anna doesn’t view herself as somebody who would have all the answers for your problems, but she would try to bring out the best in you, to equip you with tools that would help you perform at your optimal level. What is the most useful or profound advice you received from your coaches? She learned a lot about how to deal with loss. Since tennis is an individual sport, when you lose its all on you and when you win, you get all the credit. She would take losing really very hard. She was trained by her coaches to not give up and train harder after a loss. The ability to recover from a loss is something she also integrates into her personal development programs. She also learned about the importance of fundamentals from her coaches. Whenever we are trying to learn something new, we can get a bit fancy and focus more on advanced topics to learn. However, we should keep revisiting the basics because we can only work in advanced areas if we have solid foundations regardless of the skill or sport we are trying to learn. How has returning to the fundamentals helped you as an entrepreneur and as a businesswoman? She got lost after her first job as a tennis coach in New York City. Within 2 years, she got burnt off. She used to work seven days in a week, was available all the time. She jumped from job to job, apartment to apartment and relationship to relationship. That is when she returned to the fundamental of tennis that she had learned all along from her coaches. She used to put herself in a positive state like listen to music or jump a rope before playing tennis. She had a proper diet routine when she used to train for tennis and realized that during her burnout phase, she was not on a proper diet. When her life was out of order, her food was out of order. You mention that you underwent depression in your past? Why were you depressed and how did you cope with it? Anna was hard on herself. Her self-talk was demotivating and she was mean to herself. She used to tell herself that she would never be successful in her life, that she was overweight and there was something wrong with her. She always carried along this thought with herself that she was depressed. She wasn’t connected to herself. This is why she is so committed to different spiritual practices because it helps her connect to her inner-self. Meditation helped her a great deal to cope with depression and anxiety. She also hired herself a coach to help her life her life to its full potential. Is it true that people who get into life coach business need to had to have some sort of experience with difficulties in order to help others? Anyone who is in this business had to overcome something in their past. People who choose the path to be healers are often people who have looked at it more closely. Coaching is actually a modernized therapy, a form of healing. How do you think therapy and coaching can be integrated in practice? If you have a mental condition, you need to hire yourself a therapist or a psychiatrist who can prescribe you medicine. Anna comes in contact with a lot of people who have been in therapy. It is great for developing awareness, learning about yourself. Coaching is about implementation and evolvement into letting go of old identities. Through therapy, you can identify the problem areas and through coaching, you can integrate action items in your life to resolve pain points. Anna herself has undergone therapy in past and also hired a life-coach for herself in her past. Do you agree that happiness and joy can only come from inside? Anna thinks it is the starting point for all your joy and happiness. If you do not have certain tools to understand your own mind, nothing that you achieve would be able to help you boost your self-esteem. Meditation helps you get familiar with your mind; every individual’s mind is different. People see reality in different ways. Meditation allows you to look at reality from different angles. Meditation can also help with love and kindness, forgiveness and peace.  WORKSHOP:  PEACE OF MIND: HOW TO STOP OVERTHINKING AND GET CLEAR annagoldstein.com/peace
