In this episode of Sober on Purpose, Tanya welcomes back Anna McLaughlin, a remarkable woman who has transitioned from a high-powered corporate law career to a life dedicated to faith, family, and purpose.
Anna shares her journey of embracing her true calling, leaving behind the demanding world of mergers and acquisitions to become a podcaster, homeschooler, and leader of the women's group 'She Considers a Field.' Her story is one of resilience and transformation, shaped by a challenging childhood marked by her parents' divorce and her father's terminal illness. Anna opens up about how these early experiences influenced her struggle with identity and self-worth.
She candidly discusses her time in Al-Anon, where she found support despite not having an addict in her life at that time. Her faith journey plays a significant role in her story, highlighting the importance of finding identity in Christ and aligning one's life with divine purpose. The episode also touches on the balance between being fully committed to family and making an impact in the marketplace.
Anna's insights are both practical and deeply personal, offering a blend of wisdom and humour. She shares anecdotes about working late into the night during her corporate days and how her health challenges led her to reassess her life's direction. For anyone navigating their own path to sobriety while seeking to align their life with a higher purpose, Anna's story is both inspiring and relatable.
Her journey underscores the importance of trust—both in oneself and in a higher power—and the transformative power of stepping out in faith. Tune in to hear Anna's heartfelt reflections and practical advice on balancing family, faith, and purpose. It's an episode filled with hope, encouragement, and a few laughs along the way.
