Show Notes
In this episode of Talent Matters, host Donal O’Donoghue is joined by Anna O’Connor, host of The Gratitude Attitude, singer-songwriter and business owner, for an open and uplifting conversation about gratitude, manifesting, resilience and rebuilding after setbacks.
Anna’s journey hasn’t been a straight line. She talks candidly about navigating the highs and lows of life, learning to be kinder to herself when things go wrong, and finding the tools that help her get back on track.
From gratitude and manifesting to exercise, structure, nature and spending time with the people who matter, Anna shares what she has learned about looking after both the “hardware and software” when life gets difficult.
Donal and Anna also explore self-acceptance, why we can’t put our lives on hold waiting for someone else to make us happy, and the importance of learning to enjoy your own life exactly where you are.
They discuss Anna’s journey as a singer-songwriter, entrepreneur and content creator, building a personal brand online, saying yes to opportunities and having the confidence to put yourself out there.
And Anna performs her original song “The Last Time, which she wrote with Colm Gavin.
