Depression is something that can linger in the background, unrecognised for a very long time, so it’s no wonder that many people live undiagnosed for years before finally seeking help. That was very much the case for Ann Marie Grace, who, after years of building businesses ranging from a fast food franchise to marketing consultancies, and a boxed wine venture, found herself at a turning point when she realised she had depression. That of course was only the beginning of the journey as she chose to step away from the pressure of doing what she “should” and returned to what her heart had always known: to create, to guide, and to live wholeheartedly. Today, Ann Marie is an artist, transformation coach, and podcast host of Breaking Free, Coming Back to Me. 

In this episode she shares:

• Why she didn’t pursue art and the negative patterns that influenced her
• The career and depression she moved into after giving up art
• Her experience seeing her friend calm herself using her breath
• What her depression experience was like over the 16 years
• How medication helped but didn’t fix things completely
• How she started to improve and change her experience of living
• The first steps she took to help herself and how sky diving was involved
• The differences she noticed after breath work
• What 'spirit' means for her
• How art re-entered her life
• How understanding the Human Design & Gene Keys frameworks has helped give Ann Marie permission to live the path her soul is calling her towards and why she now uses it with all of her clients 

Key Quotes

“Underneath it all, the current was, if I were to stop existing tomorrow, that would be ok, and that was just how I generally felt.”
