TRIGGER WARNING // This weeks episode comes with a trigger warning that we will be dealing with issues about eating disorders, trauma, depression and anxiety. If this brings up any triggers for you, we have included support and links in the show notes. This week we sit down with the beautiful Anthea Porter who has undergone an immense personal transformation over the past 12 months. On paper, Anthea had the life one would typically aspire to - an incredible career, a beautiful home, an amazing husband and a baby on the way. However, after living in Amsterdam for five years, her partner got Covid before any vaccinations existed and following a traumatic they decided to move back to Australia with their newborn Tavi. What happened next was a bout of post-partum depression, unreconciled childhood trauma, a lack of career fulfilment and a prevailing sense of emptiness. There began a year-long therapy journey, immense self-reflection and ultimately 'doing the work.'Anthea is vulnerable, brave and courageous, and this episode truly shone a light on the way we feel pressured to adhere to societal stereotypes of what it means to be successful without considering our own happiness. There are so many "aha" moments in our chat with Anthea, and we hope you enjoy it as much as we did.KOLIDE ADVICE Anthea Life Coach //Steph Panther Brooke TaylorRead //Atomic habits - James Clear Brene Brown - Dare to LeadLean in Sheryl StrandbergHolly Whiticker - Quit Like A Woman Exercise //The Class - movement, meditation, danceSTEPH The Worlds First Podcast - Erin and Sara Foster ELLA Anchovies on Toast Helplines:The Butterfly FoundationLife LineBeyond Blue Hosted on Acast.
