Episode Description

What you want out of life can change drastically as the decades of life course by. Many people have a burning desire as college graduates to enter a chosen profession, climb the ladder of success, and enjoy a financially comfortable and respectable career. For many men and women, as they reach their 40s, new or additional longings often accompany this middle age period in life span development. We begin to look for more ways to develop ourselves, realize our potential, and enrich our lives. That’s partly what prompted Annette Anderson to begin taking, and then teaching intensive personal development workshops while having a very successful career as a healthcare executive. Once hooked, that initial taste for personal exploration blossomed into a spiritual calling to help others navigate their sacred path. Today as an ordained teacher, Annette’s ever curious quest for spiritual nurturing and ongoing unfoldment continues along her own path aside those she serves.
