In this episode, Anna is with Lynn Howard. Lynn has put in the mental, spiritual, and physical work to make things happen. Surviving abuse, beating cancer, bootstrapping, and selling successful businesses across three continents, a COO of a global company as well as serving on NGO boards across the world, Lynn has seen a lot. She believes in putting in the work first in order to lead by example. Howard connects with a highly engaged and growing global audience who treasure her no-nonsense approach, transparency, “make things happen” attitude and intuition, in creating a life on her own terms. Howard is a globally sought-after Entrepreneurial Coach/Consultant, a mother, a grandmother, and more. Born and raised in the Chicago suburbs, Howard went on to live in Saudi Arabia after 9-11, raised her kids in Hawaii, traveled the world, and is now calling Thailand home. She is living her purpose every day to leave each place, person, and thing better than she found it.

Quotes:
“Everybody's got a story to tell. Nobody's life is perfect but society makes us feel like we have to be this perfect way.” -Anna
“You are not alone. You were never alone. If you reach out far enough and typically are outside of your normal network, there are people out there such as yourself, Anna, or myself who’ve experienced the same thing, who could hold space, and support you. -Lynn
“Fail forward, because we're all gonna fail and if you can make it fail forward, don't fail backward because that will continue the momentum of falling in the right direction.” -Lynn
“We can be open to seeing the lesson in the things that are around us, it gives us the ability to have hope and see growth when we can't see it within ourselves if we just allow a little bit of light to shine there’s so much that we can see.” -Lynn
“My scars are part of me but my scars are not me” -Lynn
“We always have a choice and it's in that choice that we have freedom if we choose.” -Lynn
