Your True Mirror
This week we are kicking off our six-part Docuseries, The Making of An Entrepreneur. For those who already know me as Anika Apple, the Divine Voice, Trusted Advisor, and Coach this series will be a sweet reintroduction to who I am and the gifts I possess. In this series, I share my backstory on how I discovered my unique identity. If there’s anything I’m super clear on in this moment of my life it is my ability to “see people” and my mission to help people see themselves so that they can build a remarkable life. Not only do I get to share my life and business lessons, but I also get to help others achieve their wildest dreams. Check out episode one below!
On this episode of The Making of An Entrepreneur I talk about the importance of truly seeing yourself. Something I constantly ask my clients is, “When was the last time you gazed at yourself in the mirror? Were you looking deeply to see what is present and what is not?”
Our relationship to our reflection has significant meaning. In a time where we have phones in hand constantly, capture selfies throughout the day, and the luxury of the camera to make sure there’s no salad in our teeth before a meeting, we are more disconnected from our reflection than ever. A study completed by Within Health* found that “1 in 10 Americans avoid looking into the mirror.” Over 50% of the participants looked at themselves between 1-4 times a day. The rationales for avoiding looking at our reflections varied, mostly relating to seeing features of ourselves that make us less confident in how we look.
At the same time, we have more access to seeing ourselves than ever before. With social media, zoom meetings, FaceTime and all of the virtual ways we connect, it has become difficult to really avoid our countenance. With all of the additional opportunities to see ourselves, why would we want to avoid looking? What might make you want to avoid seeing yourself?
I’m thrilled to announce I am featured in the 6th Edition of Insight Magazine! In the article, I was able to talk about my gifts as a trusted advisor, and executive coach. I emphasize the importance of healing, becoming centered with yourself and recognizing personal patterns that prevent you from living a Remarkable Life. When we heal, everything around us changes. Healing helps you have the confidence to choose not to worry about people accepting who you are and what you say. Once we move past the need for external validation, we can live remarkably in all areas of our lives.

EMBRACE CHANGE
“The art of disruption is about acceptance”
|
“I’ve been called to help lead organizational change; it’s part of my purpose. However, the biggest disruption has been personal change. It matters because we focus on what happens in business as if it’s separate from people, but it’s not. There’s a quote that says, “There are no business problems; there are only people problems.” Disruption is a way of life; we recognize that change always happens…If I can accept that change is happening, I can embrace opportunities I never imagined.”
