Show Notes:

• Anne’s biggest habit is keeping her nose to the grindstone and working hard.
  • She leaves her hands open for God.
• Anne’s job is to take care of others.
• Be authentic with what you’re encountering.
  • We think it’s weak to face what causes us pain, but we need to lean into the range of our emotions.
  • If you bury what you’re feeling, it’ll show up later like weeds.
• The fastest way to heal is by addressing what is going on.
  • Think about it and make sense of it.
• We need to live our center of design.
  • It’s like an adrenaline high when you do what you’re meant to do.
• Anne wants people to fall in love with how they’re designed.
  • People notice that they have certain gifts but often focus on what they don’t have and then miss out on joy.
• Comparison is the thief of all joy.
• It takes bravery to step out into what you’re meant to do.
• It’s important to have someone who wants to see you grow.
• Have conversations with your partner.
  • A lack of support may come from fear, so try taking baby steps.
• Sometimes a lot of words go around, but there isn’t much authenticity.
  • What do I fear?
  • What am I not saying, and why am I not saying it?
• If you charge too hard and ignore your needs and don’t take care of yourself, you won’t accomplish as much as you could.
