   Introducing the Live YOUR Life Series

   Introducing LIVE YOUR Life | A New Series on Being Imperfectly Perfect What if the whole point of life is simply to live YOUR life? Not the life your parents imagined for you. Not the life society tells you is successful. Not even the life that the personal development world tells you that you should be striving for. But a life that is genuinely yours. In this very personal (and unexpectedly emotional!) episode, I'm introducing LIVE YOUR Life, a new series on the Being Imperfectly Perfect podcast, inspired by my next book. It all started with a conversation with my dad. I asked him a question I've spent much of my life exploring: Why are we here? What's the point of it all? His answer was beautifully simple: "I believe I'm here just to live my life." And it got me thinking. Have we made life far more complicated than it needs to be? We spend so much time trying to improve ourselves, heal ourselves, achieve more, become more and follow the success formulas of others. But what if we've lost sight of the most important question? What do YOU actually want? In this episode, I explore: Why copying someone else's version of success might be taking you further away from your own. The difference between being grateful for your life and still wanting more. Why achieving everything you thought you wanted doesn't necessarily bring happiness. The pressure to constantly work on ourselves and whether personal development has gone too far. Why living differently from the people around you can leave you questioning your choices. The importance of having someone in your corner when life gets tough. Why consistency isn't about perfection — it's about continuing to show up. I also share a moment that caught me completely off guard. While talking about my dad, I found myself crying on the podcast for the very first time. And rather than editing it out, I've decided to leave it in. Because if I'm encouraging you to show up as yourself, embrace your imperfections and take the next step even when things feel uncomfortable, I need to be willing to do exactly the same. LIVE YOUR Life will be a series of honest, thought-provoking conversations with people who are creating lives on their own terms. We'll explore what that really means, the challenges that come with it, and why there isn't one formula for living a fulfilling life. You don't need to become someone else to live an extraordinary life. Maybe you just need to give yourself permission to be you. I'd love you to join me on this journey. And here's something to think about as you listen: If you stopped worrying about what everyone else thought you should do, what would YOUR life look like?

   Two things can be true at the same time - Anna's thoughts

   Two things can be true at the same time show notes Anna Perry reflects on consistency, trust, integrity, and what it means to live your own life instead of chasing someone else’s path. This solo episode blends personal story, business ethics, and mindset shifts around leadership, paradox, and manifestation. Key topics Anna Perry redefines consistency as something more humane than doing the same thing at the same time every day. She contrasts trust, honor, and integrity with the modern habit of making promises and not following through. She argues that self-trust is built by doing what you say you will do , even in small ways. Anna shares how she uses big, audacious goals to motivate herself, because easy goals can make her disengage. She explains why she finds constant self-analysis tiring and how her background in psychology and criminology shaped her thinking about evidence and human behavior. She connects today’s trust issues to education, coaching, and propaganda , especially the tendency to repeat ideas without much foundation. Anna describes how many of her clients are leaders who do not yet recognize themselves as leaders , and how responsibility can feel heavy after past setbacks. She shares a personal story about joining Tony Robbins’ world by accident and how she had to present her experience with honesty and clarity. She emphasizes that perception changes everything , including whether something appears contradictory or impossible. She challenges mainstream manifestation thinking , arguing that life is not only about getting what you want but also about responding to what life asks of you. She closes with the importance of showing up with enthusiasm, gratitude, tough decisions, and teamwork in a supportive collective.

   The Freedom That Comes From Letting Go

   Show Notes Have you ever noticed that the hardest part of life's challenges isn't always what happened... it's the story we continue telling ourselves afterwards? In this episode, Anna explores why so much of our suffering comes not from the events themselves, but from the expectations, beliefs and "shoulds" we hold on to. Drawing on her own experiences, she shares why learning to let go can create more peace, clarity and freedom than trying to control every outcome. You'll also hear reflections on: Why pain is inevitable but suffering is often optional. How expectations create unnecessary emotional weight. The surprising power of taking no action when the timing isn't right. Why perfectionists and people pleasers often create impossible jobs for their own minds. How your brain simply follows the instructions you repeatedly give it. Trusting yourself instead of forcing every decision. Why approaching life with curiosity can completely change your experience. If you've been feeling stuck, overthinking your next move, or trying to force life to happen, this episode is a gentle reminder that sometimes the greatest strength comes from loosening your grip.
