Anja, who was told as a child she might be dyslexic and shouldn’t be a writer, went on to publish four books with ease, not by doing things the right way but by finding her own way.In this episode, I sit down with Norwegian author, keynote speaker, and retired professional athlete Anja Hammerseng-Edin, who was told as a child she might be dyslexic and shouldn’t be a writer. She went on to publish four books with ease, not by following the rules, but by trusting her own rhythm.We talk about resilience, presence, and what Anja calls everyday magic, that quiet unfolding that happens when your heart and mind start working together instead of apart. This conversation is about creativity and courage, but also about the gentle rebellion of living from the inside out.If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing life wrong, let this be your reminder: there is real power in doing it your way.Episode Highlights: 00:00 Anja's Journey and Passion07:55 Overcoming Barriers and Embracing Creativity18:04 Discovering Magic in Everyday Life22:48 Aligning with True Self26:07 Mental World vs. Heart's Calling34:57 Writing and Spiritual GrowthConnect with Anja Hammerserng-Edinhttps://www.anjahammerseng-edin.no/https://www.linkedin.com/in/anja-hammerseng-edin/Connect with Mehttps://www.linkedin.com/in/aniahulsman/https://www.aniahulsman.com If this episode spoke to you, please consider subscribing and leaving a review.
