Anna Anderson | The Warrior Journals

In this episode I talk to Victoria Humphries, who is a self stated "Ordinary Woman". Well she is a Polar Adventurer, 3 times Guinness World Record Holder, Climber, Marathon Runner, Author,  and Businesswoman.

Maybe "Ordinary" has many levels!


The Warrior Journals with Anna Anderson.

Hitting a low point in her life, after ticking all the boxes of what she "should" do to be a success in the traditional way, Anna heard a faint but insistent inner voice counselling her that there was a better way, and that she had so much more to offer the world.

Turned out that voice was telling the Truth, and Anna has now turned her life around and is now a female empowerment coach, being a guiding light for woman, and helping them avoid the pitfalls she encountered along the way.

She passionately believes that "The darkness is where the light comes in", and heady that that statement may be her message is grounded, practical, down to earth, not to mention vibrant and fun!

In this podcast, you will hear stories of incredible turnarounds, negatives turned into incredible positives, and of course Anna's wisdom and coaching expertise shining through.

In this episode, we talk to Martin - a famous footballer, who suffered a deep depression, and now is back well and truly. He felt he had no purpose after leaving pro football. This thankfully turned out not to be true. He also overcame the fear that "lad culture" would mock him for speaking out about mental health.

He developed an 11 step programme that helps people with depression and fuels new goals in life from the website:

Self reliance is the ability to depend on yourself to get things done and to meet your own needs.

Self management is the management of or by oneself. It is the taking of responsibility for one's own behaviour and well-being.

The combination of both of these leads to Self Transformation.

Spencer Bull was an army infantry officer until he was discharged with a diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis. What he thought was a trapped nerve, was something much worse; he is now wheelchair bound.

With the same fierce spirit that serves him on the frontlines for all those years, he now participates in events with Help for Heroes, and takes his most profound life lessons to a new generation.

“There’s much uncertainty but I do what I can do to face my challenges. Thanks to Help for Heroes fundraisers, I’m still able to be active – which is so important to me. I know if I need help I can get hold of someone immediately, and my wife is also supported by the Band of Sisters. All of the staff are not just professionals, they’re friends as well"

“I want to thank all supporters, and ask that you please keep raising awareness and funds. While operations in Iraq and Afghanistan may have finished, we still have many who are injured and sick, and as all get older, they will continue to need support. Please be there for the young amputee when he reaches his fifties, struggles on his prosthetics, and needs your help.”

Madeleine Black has an unusual personal story which she uses to inspire and motivate others.

She chose to forgive the two men who gang raped her at thirteen years old and she shares her story for many reasons.

She wants to end the shame, stigma and silence surrounding sexual violence enabling others to find their voice, whatever their story is.

She wants people to know that it’s not what happens to us that is important but what we do with it.

She will show how changing her mindset tapped into her resilience and transformed her life, making people question their own thinking and encouraging them to see that there are always choices to make, and if we choose to, we can get past anything that happens to us in life both professionally and in our personal life.

She wants to encourage others to live their life courageously too; but ultimately she wants to inspire hope and show people that we are all so much stronger than we think we are.

 The sharing of her story publicly on The Forgiveness Project’s website in September 2014, opened many doors for Madeleine in ways she never imagined, and the invitations started to pour in. Many women and men got in contact and explained how reading her story gave them strength, hope, and a different perspective of what’s possible in their lives. She has taken part in both TV and radio interviews and has been invited to share her story of being gang raped as a teenager at conferences, book events, schools etc. She recognises that she was a victim of a crime that left her silent for many years but has now found her voice and intends to use it.

Not just for her, but for so many who can’t find theirs yet.

In March 2018 she won the Amazing Strength award at the No. 1 Magazine Amazing Women Awards and in October of the same year was asked to be the Patron for Say Women, a Scottish organisation which offers safe accommodation and support to young women who are survivors of sexual abuse/rape and who are homeless.

She is one of 50 Thrivers taking part in research by The Global Resilience Project to develop a resilience blueprint for others. She is a TEDx speaker, a story teller for The Forgiveness Project and has recently become involved with their programme RESTORE, sharing her story in prisons. In June 2020, she was asked to be Patron for Justice Is Now, an organisation that campaigns to end the use of rape myths and victim blaming in the criminal justice system.

Her memoir, Unbroken, was published on April 4th 2017 and continues to work as a psychotherapist.
