ABOUT THE EPISODE
Blogger, author, and marketing professional Anna Kettle shares her unlikely story of pursuing a slower, simpler, more soulful life, a journey that led to her writing the book Sand Between Your Toes. Sarah and Anna talk about practical ways to embrace a different pace of life, navigating internal noise and distractions, and the tension between pursuit and surrender. The second half of their conversation shifts to Anna’s journey with recurring pregnancy loss and how she walks well with grief on a day-to-day basis when the future remains unknown.
