Anne Harper from Co.Down discusses her music & storytelling career. Anne shares her love of Irish heritage & history, folklore & nature. She describes the campaign to save a neolithic burial place from destruction. We discuss our shared neurodivergence in the context of being a creative entrepreneur & feminine power. We discuss birth and the power of Mother Nature in the face of "development". Anne embodies a strong Irish woman who follows her passions and is making the world a better place. I learned so much from our chat and I'm sure you will enjoy it too.
