    Starting Over: Embracing Change and Finding Purpose with Sabrina Harris

    In this episode, Anna interviews Sabrina, a former elementary school teacher who followed her gut feeling and decided to change paths, although she didn't exactly know where that path would take her. Along the way, she discovered her love for sales and, more importantly, her love for herself. Sabrina shares her journey of leaving her comfort zone and taking risks to pursue her dreams. She also discusses the importance of setting an example for her daughters by showing them that it's worth it to discover your purpose and take risks. In a moment of vulnerability, Sabrina opens up about her struggle with regret and forgiveness after her divorce. She talks about how she finally had to forgive herself, let go of the regret, and focus instead on gratitude, which was freeing and allowed her to move forward. Throughout the conversation, Anna and Sabrina touch on the theme of women supporting women. Sabrina discusses how the women who have seen her at her worst are the ones who have stayed and loved her unconditionally. She also talks about how empowering women can have a positive impact on everyone. Realizing that she knows much more about life, herself, and her dreams today than she did at 25, Sabrina is ready to leave Chapter 2 behind and focus on what Chapter 3 will bring. She's excited about her future and how it will impact not just herself, but also her daughters and the women around her. If you enjoyed this episode, we’d love to hear your takeaways!

    Feeling Empowered at 31 Rue Cambon

    Anna felt like she had truly made it when she was at 31 Rue Cambon in Paris. Coco Chanel sure had when she opened her now-famous store in the early 1900s. She is still a model of the empowered businesswoman and branding maven, building an empire that will forever be at the forefront of fashion and style. On that day in 2017, when Anna walked into 31 Rue Cambon, she was thinking of her daughter. It was then that Anna realized she wanted to buy something iconic, something fabulous that her daughter could inherit from her. That day was the first day that Anna realized she could buy these things for herself. This was a moment of liberation. These items represented so much. They represented freedom, financial success, the knowledge that Anna could treat herself and – ultimately – treat her daughter to an heirloom. She never thought that she'd be able to do that without anyone else’s help.    In this episode, Anna encourages you to reflect on the last thing that you bought for yourself that made you feel empowered.  It’s not about the item itself, it’s about how you felt when you were able to pay for it without asking anyone for permission. Have you ever given YOURSELF permission to do this? If not, what is holding you back from doing something for YOU?  This actually is not about the purchase at all. This represents the power. The power to be yourself. The power to leave a legacy. The power to be an example for the next generation of women. The power to be like Coco.
