Ep 50 | Growth Happens At The Edges: Overcoming Loss and Finding Purpose feat. Anni Townend

Anni shares her transformative experiences with humanistic psychology and one-to-one therapy. She discusses her journey from living in the countryside, to leading workshops and partnering with leaders. Anni opens up about the significant loss and shock she experienced with her first ectopic pregnancy and how it affected her sense of purpose and direction.

Anni shares her personal story of loss and finding meaning, and how she was eventually able to become a proud mother of two daughters despite initial doubts. Anni highlights the significance of her name and reflects on her experiences in the gardening world, drawing inspiration from permaculture and the concept of growth happening at the edges.

I am impressed and grateful to have had the opportunity to have this conversation with Anni. Her honesty, resilience, and unique perspective on personal growth make for an inspiring episode.
