Drawing from her role as a solutions-focused leader and lifelong seeker, Annie Sanchez shares her transformative journey from the depths of exhaustion to creative awakening. In this conversation, Annie and I explore how rest practice revealed not just a path to authentic leadership, but uncovered hidden artistic talents that were veiled by fatigue.
As CEO of Mariposa Strategies, Annie guides executive leaders and entrepreneurs through significant personal and organizational change. Yet her own journey of transformation demonstrates how softening into rest created ripple effects across all areas of her life—from partnership to creative expression. Her story illuminates how leaders can shift from constant doing to the art of being, while honoring both their strategic gifts and creative essence.
Drawing from her three-year rest practice journey and her deep commitment as a student of creativity, rest, and imagination, Annie reveals how intentional pauses have become vital to her evolution as a leader, partner, and newly discovered artist. Living on the ancestral homelands of the Tewa Pueblo people in New Mexico, her journey from the "bottom of the ocean floor" to creative liberation offers a powerful testament to rest's transformative potential.
In this episode, we explore:
- How rest practice awakens self-knowledge and hidden talents
- The power of softening as a pathway to authentic leadership
- Breaking free from the constant need to find solutions
- The relationship between rest and creative discovery
- Honoring matriarchal lineage through rest
- Creating new patterns of being for future generations
Experience a guided rest practice focused on giving the solution-finder permission to rest and embracing the power of softening. Plus, discover how embracing rest can transform not just your leadership approach, but your connection to creativity, partnership, and authentic self-expression.
