The Story of
Make Friends With Yourself…
Making Friends With Yourself doesn’t mean everything will always be fine and dandy, that you will always feel happy and nothing goes wrong…
It means you can hold yourself through it all, through ALL seasons of life and be kind to yourself and lead with vulnerability and openness
Hi, I am Anna
I wasn’t always friends with myself
My life used to be chaotic, confusing and I was a lost little lamb
I couldn’t stay still, I was constantly looking for the next person, place and thing to make me feel better
To make me feel whole
In 2018, my 6 year relationship ended and I didn’t know it at the time, but this was the start of my journey to make friends with myself
Throughout that relationship,
I had completely lost myself.
I didn’t know who I was, I had NO idea what I wanted.
I was scared and I was in a lot of pain.
I had repressed so many feelings and spent years contorting myself into what I thought other people wanted me to be.
I didn’t know HOW to be happy.
I thought there was something inherently ‘wrong’ with me because I had such big intense emotions.
I bounced around situationships, usually finding myself in toxic, negative and co-dependent partnering’s that allowed me to focus all my energy on them and never on myself.
I was so terrified to sit still, to look inwards. I was petrified of what I might find.
I didn’t know that it could be different or that I deserved better or that I could give myself a chance to be happy.
In 2020 my world collapsed in on me when I got covid, which turned into chronic fatigue syndrome.
I could no longer run away from my feelings…
I couldn’t distract myself, drink away the pain or keep myself busy ‘helping’ everyone else anymore.
I had to LEARN to be with myself and so I gently started to learn to be friends with myself.
Through that dark time with help from therapists and my life coaches,
I learnt to see and acknowledge my worth and value
I no longer choose relationships that reinforce those old beliefs that I am too much or not good enough.
I can wholeheartedly say I live a happy, fulfilled life (something I never thought I would say)
I have a big heart and I really believe that you can do so much more than you know.
I can teach you the tools to create the life you really want, and I am here to support you as you embark on the life changing journey of
Making Friends With Yourself.
I am here to hold you accountable, to hear you, to cheer you on, to challenge you and to empower you.
This is your journey; this is your life. Let's go get it.
