Ep008 - Identity with Anna Marsh

This week I discuss the topic of 'identity' with the awesome Anna Marsh.

Anna is a Functional Medicine Practitioner and Women's Health Coach. She has a huge list of qualifications and experience that enables her to help women take back their power, and create a healthy body, happy heart and a healthy mind!

In this episode we discuss:

Anna's personal health journey (to date), and her approach to overcoming her health challenges or more accurately, her approach to these opportunities to grow -  including hormonal imbalances, fatigue and digestive issues.

We talk about identity - this takes a huge shift during motherhood, full stop. Whether you're a new mum or have a little tribe, it's common to lose a sense of who we are when we become a mum. However, there it is also a great opportunity to reconnect with and create 'a you' who YOU love!

Our identity has so many layers to it and is hugely impacted by our surroundings, environment, external expectations and who we feel we 'should' be as well as who we were before becoming a mum. Anna brings her neuro-strategy skills, her wealth of coaching experience and human touch to explain identity from the perspective of our human needs and the personalities of the unconscious mind. It's so interesting and makes soooo much sense!

Anna is awesome at taking the science and translating it into language we can really resonate with. This language is what helps shift our perspective. She also shares some helpful tips we can go on to implement into our own lives.

Please let me know if you enjoyed this episode. I loved our chat big time!

We talk about motivation and what gets her up in the morning, Especially after a disrupted night’s sleep

We discuss her breastfeeding experience, particularly expressing and feeding her daughter during the spine race.
