The Phoenix Rising Who Helps Others Thrive Through Change
When it comes to navigating change with resilience, grace, and authenticity, Anne McDowell is the coach, speaker, and author who walks the talk. With more than 30 years of experience in leadership, coaching, and adult education, Anne has transformed her own life many times—and now she helps others do the same.
She’s not just a coach. She’s a positivity and transformational change specialist, a two-time international award-winning author, and a woman with a deep well of wisdom drawn from real-life experience. Her work blends intuitive insight, grounded strategy, and soulful support—and the result is nothing short of life-changing.
Helping People Rise Through Change
Anne’s superpower is helping people move through difficult transitions with clarity, confidence, and purpose. Whether it’s career upheaval, personal loss, or health challenges, she supports her clients in turning adversity into alignment.
“I help people bounce back from the changes they didn’t ask for,” she shares. “Because even when life doesn’t go to plan, you still have the power to choose how you respond.”
Anne doesn’t coach from theory alone. She’s lived the highs and the lows, including managing long-term health challenges, releasing over 25 kilos in weight, and leaving behind toxic relationships. Her ability to empathise, hold space, and gently guide her clients is grounded in deep personal experience.
The Power of Self-Leadership and Inner Wisdom
Anne is passionate about self-leadership, emotional intelligence, and the power of authenticity. She teaches that optimism isn’t just positive thinking—it’s a conscious choice to see opportunity in every challenge. Through frameworks like Human Design, she helps clients understand their energetic blueprint and reclaim who they truly are.
One of her most popular teachings? The Tigger vs. Eeyore mindset. Based on the classic Winnie the Pooh characters, Anne explains how embracing your “inner Tigger”—resilient, hopeful, and proactive—can help shift your life dramatically.
Mental Health and Feminine Alignment
In addition to her work in transformational change, Anne is an advocate for mental wellbeing. Her personal rituals include swimming, cold water therapy, piano playing, subliminal affirmations, and deep inner healing work such as shadow integration and timeline therapy.
After years of operating in high-performance masculine energy, Anne is now deeply reconnecting with her divine feminine essence—a journey she’s openly sharing with her community to show that rest, stillness, and self-compassion are not just allowed but essential.
Authenticity is the Foundation
One of Anne’s most powerful values is authenticity. “If I haven’t studied it, lived it, or worked in it—I don’t coach it, train it, or sell it,” she says. This deep integrity shines through in her work, and it’s one of the reasons clients feel so safe, seen, and supported in her space.
Whether you’re feeling stuck, in transition, or ready for your next chapter, Anne’s message is clear: you have the power to transform your story—and she’s here to help you do it.
