Have you ever met someone who exudes confidence and authenticity so much that it’s almost tangible? That’s Anna Murphy for you, an unstoppable force from St. John’s, Newfoundland, who joins us this week on Selfish Confidence. Her story is not just about bold fashion statements and cultural dynamism; it’s a blueprint for anyone looking to craft their own life around genuine self-expression and entrepreneurial spirit. We chat about the importance of community, the growth of her business ventures, and the dynamic experiences she creates that inspire others to shine brightly in their authenticity.
Our conversation takes a deeper turn as we uncover Anna’s personal battle with body confidence and self-acceptance. She bravely shares her past encounters with bullying and how she’s learned to convert her wardrobe into a celebration of her innermost self. We also discuss the transformative power of dance, the role of affirmations in combating negative self-talk, and the broader impact these practices have on the community. Anna’s journey is a vivid reminder that the path to self-love is not just about the highs but includes embracing the lows with grace and resilience.
Join us for this heartfelt dialogue that’s sure to leave you feeling inspired, connected, and ready to embrace your own path with a little more confidence.

"Disney World might be the happiest place on earth but The Self(ish) Retreat is one of the safest places on earth to share your true self. All parts of you are welcome at the Self(ish) Retreat. It's an opportunity to make new friends and bond on a deeper level with old (and new) friends. You're guaranteed to learn something new about yourself. Jess takes care of all the details of the weekend so you can focus on turning inward and getting what you need out of the retreat."
"You NEED to work with Jess. No question. In the 4 months I have been working with Jess so far, my business and I have grown EXPONENTIALLY. Four months ago, I was just talking about the idea that I might start a business, and now I have left a career that wasn’t aligned for me, committed to the adventure of a lifetime, found my niche, launched my business, and rediscovered WHO I AM in the process. I promise you, YOU WILL NOT REGRET choosing 1:1 coaching with this powerhouse woman. Just make sure that you are ready to GROW more than you thought possible."
