Show Notes
In today's episode, I'm thrilled to present my conversation with psychotherapist, author and speaker Anna Mathur. I've had the pleasure to know Anna since I wrote a poem for her book The Uncomfortable Truth and she asked me to read it at her book signing event, so I'm overjoyed to welcome her to the podcast to discuss her journey, her learnings, and that wonderful book 'The Uncomfortable Truth.'
Over the course of this episode, we cover everything from her uni days, to her journey into psychotherapy, her refreshingly fluid approach to career planning, as well as exploring how we can apply the notion that what really matters is living in alignment with the things that set our hearts on fire. I'm SO on board!
I was truly honoured that Anna reflected with incredible honesty about her experience of motherhood, and amongst other things, how making a difference to others became a source of positivity at a time when she was otherwise struggling, giving her a sense of identity and purpose that was all too elusive at the time.
In discussing 'The Uncomfortable Truth,' I particularly enjoy her take on failure, and the premise that it is so vital a process for all of us, making it so important that we learn to embrace it; we explore why failure feels so personal, and how much the fear of failure is actually about what other people think, yet we also discuss techniques and mindsets to help channel and overcome it.
If you're looking for something to inspire you this week, I urge you to pop this episode on, and immersed yourself in Anna's wisdom. You'll be so greatful that you did!
Enjoy the show!
