Ep 65 // Learning to Hear God as a First Generation Christian - Interview with Anna McLaughlin
Anna McLaughlin is a happy wife and grateful-but-sometimes-tired homeschooling mother of four, life coach, podcaster, investor, and child of God.
Over a decade ago, Anna left her demanding career as a corporate lawyer to be more present with her family. She became a reluctant entrepreneur nine years ago as she realized the kingdom impact of building something to serve others while helping her family financially. Combining her strategic bent as a former lawyer with her insights as a coach as well as her Holy-Spirit-led intuition, Anna encourages women of faith to uncover and own their unique God-given identity in all areas of their lives, so that they might serve with purpose and passion both at home and beyond.
She is a first generation Christian and shares growth moments and how she’s learned to hear God’s voice along the way!

Quotable Quotes from Anna:
“I remember reading the bible at age ten and feeling a great sense of home and familiarity. God had always been calling me but I didn’t know how to identify him as Christ.”
“I didn’t know how to clean up the messes I made and realized only God knew the path forward. I gave it all to him and, brick by brick, he helped me create the path forward.”
“I wanted to go all-in on the Kingdom. How could I walk this out? It became a very iterative process.”
