Let's talk about Self love, Self work, Real Life Stories and Getting the Lesson Out of Every Situation! Helping you REMEMBER WHO YOU ARE and how POWERFUL you are.
In this warm, candid conversation Anamae opens up about growing up in Siargao with a mixed cultural background, reconnecting with her Bisaya roots, and why protecting and serving her island community matters to her purpose. She tells the story of becoming an entrepreneur, starting a surf cafe and holistic surf school and the hard lessons of leadership. We dig into how isolation and self-love led her to build retreats that help women reclaim their emotional wellbeing, and practical reflections on stress, handling customers, and creating safe spaces.
Top takeaways:
✨ Identity matters: reconnecting to language and culture can be a gateway to purpose.
✨ Healing is intergenerational: breaking emotional unavailability starts with one person’s awareness.
✨ Business + heart: entrepreneurship can be a vehicle for community service and personal growth, but it brings practical and emotional challenges.
✨ Isolation can be medicine: time alone helped Anna see herself, set boundaries, and choose peace.
✨ Choose your people: surround yourself with those who help you grow; walk away from consistent toxicity.
