Is It Possible Your Assumptions Are Total Fiction? with Ann Richardson

She shares her perspective on many things including the importance of staying true to yourself, being who you are and not trying to be someone you’re not, having a supportive partner, and why confidence is key to happiness..

Ann is a true testament to the fact that age is no barrier to creativity, growth, and finding joy in the journey. Stay tuned for an enriching conversation that may just spark a new perspective on your own second half!
