Anne Espiritu is the Chief International Officer at the Contentment Foundation. She began her career in communications at Google and held leadership roles at Yahoo and Oscar Health.

Outside of her full time work for the Foundation, she is working to become an executive coach to support women and leaders to courageously live out their best and most authentic selves.

In this episode we dive deep into her patterns of unworthiness that stem from childhood, which were huge drivers for her to strive for the typical definitions of success in status, career and wealth. We chat about her journey from living the life most dream about, but still feeling empty and walking away from millions in order to find what was missing. We also talk about the importance of mental and emotional training, what contentment really means, and how you can drive your life from a place of inspiration and empowerment rather than from fear and unworthiness. Anne also shares with us the power of becoming the observer of your experience, and allowing yourself to feel your emotions and not get consumed by them.

Our beautiful gueset Rochelle joins us today and we unpack body image, beauty standards, worthiness, and our deeply layered conditioning as women regarding our physical appearance. It's a vulnerable dive and we share with you our first experiences of perceiving our bodies negatively, childhood bullying experiences what we did to try and 'fit in' or 'be more beautiful', we talk about the conditioning that comes with being a woman, chasing perfection, being praised and validated for weight loss, the stories and conditioning around body hair, what beauty means to us now and what has helped us in cultivating a deeper acceptance and love for our own bodies.

Everyone is making a business re-opening plan, but what is your Post Quarantine Life Re-Opening Plan? What do you now want more of in your life? What do you now want less of? What's working? What not working? What needs to change? 

Instead of letting life 'just happen' again, why don't we take the time to get clear with ourselves and get practical with an action plan. Don't trap yourself in slipping back into your old robotic routine of a life that you weren't completely happy with, and start getting intentional with your own RE-OPENING PLAN so that you can design and create a more aligned life post quarantine. 

All you need is 20 minutes and a pen and paper! Let's get started!
