Hey, I’m Anny, welcome to my new home

THANKS FOR STOPPING BY…

You’ve arrived at the perfect time to join me as I make this place a home, fully commit to building the business I started in 2021, fly around the world as cabin crew, navigate my weight loss journey, and most importantly, figure out this solo-living in my 40s thing!

I always believed I’d be crushing it by the time I got to my 40s, but life clearly had other ideas and here I am - I don’t have children, I’m not in a romantic relationship and the only home I own, is this one.

I can’t deny, I’ve felt disappointment, sadness and regret, but recently, I’ve come to appreciate and feel a deep sense of gratitude for all the things I love about my life.

I’m just a girl…

Like most human beings, i want to be liked and accepted, and I often find myself doubting whether I’m enough. I regularly lose myself down the rabbit hole of social media and emerge feeling inadequate and ridiculous for comparing my 40+ life to someone in their twenties.

I spend longer than I’d care to admit, longing for the good old days when I danced to The Spice Girls in the living room, and my only worry was doing homework.

I’ve lived a colourful life, one that I look back on with mixed emotions, but as the years go by, I’ve learned to own it all, grateful that the highs and lows are evidence that I lived.

As I journey through my early forties, my health, my family and the freedom to enjoy my life have become more important to me. I value meaningful connections and conversations, and a community that seeks joy, peace and fulfilment - that’s why I’ve moved in to this place - a space that’s removed from the noise and rapid-fire interactions of short form content like the kind you’ll find on Instagram and TikTok. Don’t get me wrong, you’ll still see me on those platforms, but this is the place where we can connect properly.

You have a space here too…

It’s always been a dream of mine to have a home where people like you, feel safe, seen and understood; a place you can pop in to enjoy food, drink and encouragement whenever you need it.

So, whether you’re building a business, navigating your career, making a house a home or figuring out life through different seasons, I hope you feel welcome here.

I love books…

There’s something about the silence of the written word that feels safe and comforting for me. It provides a channel to connect, gain inspiration, encouragement and feed my curiosity and interest in people and their experiences and perception of their world. I love the feel of real books - I still use kindle and read ebooks, but it’s nice to get away from the screen and be present in real life with a book.

I’ve recently allowed myself to reconnect with the joy I feel when I’m in a bookshop and as I give myself permission to rekindle this hobby, I’ll be diving more in to reading and all things books and bookshops.

this might surprise you…

I’m a very insecure person. It may be hard for some people to admit that but I’ve found that the more insecure I feel, the more courage I need, which is a great trait. I’ve learned that fear shows up everywhere and it’s often impossible to ignore, avoid or deny it consistently, however, courage is a wonderful antidote. I say that I am a Courageously Insecure person and that’s how I manage to keep going in life and achieve goals.
