What Anna Said

Welcome to Season 2 of the What Anna Said Podcast.

As we begin this new season, you'll notice a slight change. While Sally may be spending more time behind the camera, she remains very much a part of the conversations and vision that continue to shape this podcast.

In Episode 1, we introduce Edner Fry, a familiar voice to many of our listeners. After appearing in two previous episodes to share her personal journey, Edner joins us to discuss how we met, her connection to the Kasitati Foundation, and the path that led her to become part of this season.

Together, we explore Formed Underwater, a book centered on four foundational truths that shape Identity, Origin, Purpose, and Destiny. Through honest conversation and reflection, we discuss how life’s pressures, responsibilities, and uncertainties often become the very places where growth, clarity, and purpose are formed.

If you've ever felt like you're carrying a lot while wondering if there's something more beneath the surface, this episode offers encouragement to slow down, reflect, and rediscover your bearings.

Formed Underwater is available on Amazon: https://a.co/d/0aTBHEHT

Thank you for joining us for another season of meaningful conversations, powerful stories, and lessons that remind us we are often being formed in ways we cannot yet see.

When life gets tough, do you quit or keep pushing? 💭

In this inspiring conversation, Pita Tangifolau Mose shares how he turned setbacks into stepping stones. From failing his EMT exam the first time to facing financial struggles in college, Folau never let excuses define him. Instead, he found his purpose, leaned into his gift, and kept moving forward; now crushing his goals on the path to becoming a firefighter and paramedic in HEB.

This episode is a reminder that the faster you find your gift, the quicker you step into the life you were created for. 🚀

✨ What you’ll take away:

• ​Why failing forward is part of the process
• ​How to stop wasting time and lock in on your purpose
• ​The power of setting new goals once you hit the last one
• ​Why excuses will always hold you back if you let them

If you’ve ever felt like giving up, this conversation will reignite your fire to keep going and live life on purpose. 🔥

Are you feeling overlooked or stuck in a season of waiting? You're not alone and you're certainly not forgotten.

In this episode of What Anna Said, we dive into the purpose of the waiting season. Kim shares how God sometimes uses this time to prune us. Sally explains that sometimes the wait is about developing our character so we can handle the very thing we're praying for. And Anna reminds us of Isaiah 49:15, how we are etched in God's hands, never forgotten.

You'll walk away encouraged, knowing that even in the wait, you can keep moving forward in faith, holding onto God's truth, and trusting that your next season is coming.

What started as an empty inbox on the final day of our scholarship deadline turned into an overwhelming response that only God could orchestrate.

In this episode, we recap the 2025 scholarship journey, the hard decisions behind the scenes, and how His plan was greater than our own.
