Experiences · For events
Speaking.
Keynotes, panels, Q&As. Online and in person.
Anna speaks on the inner guidance system, the nervous system, somatic coaching, the recovery work that follows narcissistic abuse, and what it actually takes to rebuild from burnout. This is not work for women only. Men carry just as much, often with fewer places to put it down. She also speaks to founders on the link between the body and the business. Format depends on what your audience needs. Keynote, panel, fireside, intimate Q&A. Online or in the room.
Talks she gives most
- The Zen Hustler How to build a business with real ambition without burning out your signal system, for founders who have tried to meditate their way through a cash flow crisis.
- Signal How to hear yourself in a loud world: the Signal Method applied to decision-making, creativity and leadership, so you lead from clarity rather than urgency.
- What Actually Happens in Trauma Recovery The real version, not the clinical one. An honest, warm account of what healing actually looks like from the inside.
- The Anna Lou of London Story Twenty-five years from Portobello Road to a houseboat, and what happens when you build something beautiful and then have to rebuild yourself.
- What Community Actually Does to You Why connection is not optional: co-regulation, the quiet way we settle one another, and what that means for any space built on honesty.
