I am super pumped about this episode today. My guest is good friend and fellow Marine Savannah Cannon.

I served with Savannah in 2007-11 and I wanted to bring her on so that she could talk more about her upcoming book, Breaking Innocents. When Savannah originally released it I could not put it down. Savannah’s book is unique, serious… there is nothing out there like it. I describe it as Jarhead meets Fifty Shades of Grey. And what I found the most interesting was that I saw a lot of me in her initial stages of joining the military. I appreciated how she paints herself as the antihero, but I think that it’s very special in that you get to have this unique perspective of what it is like to be a female in the military. It is well written, and a lot of what she has experienced throughout her life is still relevant and powerful today.

One of life's greatest challenges is learning how to become your own hero!

Anne's career path started in seismology and then later unexpectedly veered off to nursing where she started as a Certified Nursing Assistant, the became  Associates Level Nurse, later becoming Masters and Leadership Prepared, and now a Doctor of Nursing Practice and a candidate to sit for Board Certification as an Acute Care Nurse Practitioner.

As and before she became a Doctor of Nursing practice, Anne has cunningly and valiantly faced the turmoils and challenges life has brought her. As a child she was bullied and labeled as unable to "make it far in life," because of her struggles with learning in a classroom setting.  Later in life she faced the heartaches of single motherhood at a very young age and separation from her baby daughter as a sacrifice to better their future.

Further, she talks about the importance of being your own champion, the mindset required for her personal success, and how CrossFit, Reiki, Journaling, and Meditation helped transform her health, wellness, and happiness.
