What up, Beasts? Welcome back to the show. In this episode, I had the privilege of hanging out with Anna VanAgtmael, the founder of Wandering Roots, and an inspiring retreat host who shared her incredible journey from a corporate managerial career to curating transformative wellness retreats. Anna opened up about her path of self-discovery, chronic pain recovery, and the courage it took to embrace entrepreneurship. She spoke candidly about her experiences with car accidents, the emotional and physical toll they took, and her ultimate triumph in finding balance and purpose through retreats. Her retreats have provided a space for women to connect, heal, and embrace self-acceptance—a mission that deeply resonates with me as I consider hosting retreats for my own coaching community.
Anna also shared invaluable advice on overcoming limiting beliefs and embracing the persistence it takes to follow your dreams. We dove into the importance of self-care, taking pauses, and redefining success by living a life that fills us up rather than depletes us. As someone working through my own entrepreneurial journey and guilt around taking breaks, Anna’s wisdom struck a chord. This episode is packed with powerful lessons on resilience, growth, and the beauty of sharing our stories to inspire and uplift others. Tune in for a conversation that will leave you ready to unveil your own inner beast and take the next step toward your dreams.
As always, I hope something lands with you today. I hope something you hear tugs on your heart-strings and/or I hope you laugh.
