Dr. Annette, what is the Mission that you want to share with the world?
Despite backgrounds any one of us can triumph over adversity and setbacks to living a life on purpose filled with great relationships, inner peace and happiness! To provide empowering coaching and inspiring talks shared through media for women locally and globally seeking positive change.
Annette, you are a strong, confident woman today but that is the result of your own personal journey, can you share a bit of your backstory?
Although I live a life on purpose today it wasn’t always like that for me.
It’s no secret I struggled in my own life. At one point I suffered with depression low confidence and self-esteem.
My first marriage was painful and for years I struggled with depression. Then after losing my job through redundancy things escalated out of control and depression turned into anxiety.
I felt hopeless, with no sense of purpose, completely powerless, not knowing HOW to get my life back. I held the belief that it was all down to bad luck, or maybe I’d done something wrong! I soon discovered that bad luck had nothing at all to do with it but my perspective did.
That saying ‘things happen for a reason’ burned in my brain, if there was a reason then what was it? It’s around this time my life changed forever after meeting a British Doctor who taught me ways of living steeped in traditional Zen Buddhism which had a profound effect on my life. I began seeking other methods that gave me an effective unique Heart centred approach. Including the journey into health and well-being that tapped into the ‘life force energy’ we all posses.
I learned amongst other things that I deserved so much more, the real meaning of self-acceptance, self-belief and learned to trust and follow my gut and heart. It’s through finding my deeply intuitive and spiritual side that eventually lead me to a truly fulfilling career as a life coach, author and inspirational speaker.
By overcoming my own adversities I have turned things around and I can help other people too. I have created a tried and tested unique formula that embodies scientific techniques whilst embracing your creative and intuitive side. I firmly believe having a clear vision brings positive results and that being true to your values aligns your life in ways you never thought possible.
I’m living proof that the power of a healthy mind, positive thinking and living from the heart keeps you young, vibrant, healthy, happy, and fun to be with. I call it Age-Less living, so whether your in your 30’s 40’s 50’s 60’s and beyond I will share these ancient longevity secrets that can uplift your energy and life for the better.
What would you tell people who might be struggling with something similar?
I would tell them to give themselves the opportunity of finding that inner courage, resilience and to take inspired action no matter how small. As it’s the small things that lead to the big dream. Trust me!
We are very eager to start watching your upcoming show and podcast on Expert Channel TV , why did you decide to do a show and podcast?
It’s been my intention for some time when I realised I can inspire many more people this way. People are always saying it’s so nice to hear your voice or it feels so calming. To me that’s a wonderful sign to progress things.
What is something you have had to overcome to start doing a show?
Phew! Firstly, I had to get comfortable doing a video, then live videos. Many years ago, my accent as a Yorkshire woman I learned to accept is as I thought it was only people from London who could make it on TV or radio as presenters! I’m also very down to earth and grounded and don’t pull any punches. I built up confidence over a few years.
What is the name of your show and what is it about?
The name of my show is ‘On the sofa with Dr. Annette’.
