Becoming With Ann Fancy

Peter is a visionary and radical thought leader creating a new economic paradigm in the Canadian wilderness through the intentional community he is co-creating - https://www.visitzenith.org/   After creating a "successful" life by all typical measures, Peter found himself chipping away at the story he was sold about what success looks like. He slowly began to realize his values did not align with the life he had created. Little by little a new way of living, thinking and being emerged and from it, with the help of other like minded people they have laid the roots of an intentional community in the wilderness with a mountain view. Peter and I talk life, the deep human lessons of relationships, why he believes everyone should have the right to inhabit beautiful land, be supported in all necessary ways and create meaningful connections. Mostly, Peter wants to inspire others to live more consciously, to create a life in line with what human nature is truly about and to connect to one's own innate p

Carly Lozdoski guides me...and you as we dip our toes in to understanding astrology, moon cycles and more specifically new moons. As new moons come and go it is a great time to plant seeds of manifestation, who doesn't need assistance in manifesting... and getting out of our own way! I was personally blown away by my astrology reading with Carly a few weeks ago because of its accuracy and I want to keep learning more about why I feel all the feels as the moon, stars, and planets constantly realign. I think this all just powerful information for us each to have in our pockets to better understand ourselves and the world. I would love your feedback. What do you want to learn more about with regard to astrology? Send me messages on my website annfancy.com/podcast. Or send me a direct message on instagram, facebook or pop into the Becoming facebook page. Let's talk about it. 

Megan Gunnell is a psychotherapist, writer, speaker and international retreat facilitator in private practice in Grosse Pointe, Michigan. After decades of working with individuals, groups and businesses Megan noticed a significant theme, so many people are simply surviving and have a deep desire to THRIVE. Megan isn't your typical therapist, she teaches more alternative or spiritual methods of connection in addition to her foundation in traditional therapy practices. Megan and I talk about her childhood and the roots that there were planted and created a stable foundation that allowed her to grow into a deep commitment to her personal path as a therapist and teacher and how she found her way into her own intuitive work.Megan and I also chat about how to develop your intuition, how she personally uses shamanic journeying personally and with clients and the ways she marries science based therapy with deeply spiritual practices. Megan believes that life is meant to be lived to the fullest! That you deserve

Carly Lozdoski is a budding astrologer and a serious truth-teller. She bravely tells her timely and personal experience of abortion at 19 years old, in college, while deeply entrenched in catholicism. This experience was life-altering for her and later became pivotal in her shift towards a renewed sense of spirituality, faith and what it is to be human. She has worked to cultivate deep soulful healing from her experience and is super open and frank about it all. Carly found herself very pregnant, very successful, and very wounded in her car outside a liquor shop in the middle of Detroit, it was in these moments that her life transformed, her personal experience of the divine shifted and her true healing began. Carly is now the mother of 2 earthbound children and fitness fanatic and an astrologer. She is now on a path that feels more deeply in alignment with who she is. She is walking the walk and helping others to anchor to the their own divine truth and take charge of their path. You can connect with Carly o

Brooke Miller is the creator and founder of Honey: Space for Mothers. She is a mother and wife. She is the daughter of powerful entrepreneurs, the grand-daughter of a holocaust survivor and she herself is a survivor of two brain tumors. Those labels are not what defines her, perhaps they are simply a few of the building blocks that gave her the foundation to take the risk and create Honey. She admits that the idea kept her up at night while she was still in the earlier years of mothering her two daughters. As a therapist and a mother she saw a desperate need to create a supportive, nonjudgemental space for mothers (and fathers). From her website: https://www.honeyformoms.comOur Goal:Is to hold the space for you as you settle into and navigate the beautiful mess that is motherhood. In all it’s raw magic, sleepless nights, elated moments and those of utter defeat. We’re here to fiercely support you every step of the way. Some think it’s a radical idea. To us it’s just the right thing to do.Brooke talks openly a

Purpose. It can be exciting and illuminating for some of us, and for others it feels illusive, misleading and empty. So often we are lead to believe that our purpose is this divine revelation, a destination and place to arrive it, often purpose is simply in the micro-moments of your life that you choose you. Purpose is an unraveling, a dissolution of the fog that clouds your vision. In listening to the expansion and contraction of your being, you learn to decipher between ego, outside noise and your own intuition. Does everyone have a huge overarching purpose to become the next Oprah, Bill Gates, or Brene Brown? No. For many of us purpose is a steady stream of micro-choices that lead us to find deep alignment within our soul. Your purpose is to evolve, grow, heal and expand. How do you do that? What does that even look like? What does it feel like? I reference an awesome book by neuroscientist Dr. Joe Dispenza called: https://www.amazon.com/Breaking-Habit-Being-Yourself-Create/dp/1401938094I also referenced t

Lori Lipten is pure magic. In our conversation together, she shares so vulnerably about the painful journey that led her to her incredible work as a Shamanic Medium. Calling her a medium doesn't do her justice and her work, knowledge and loving character transcends all labels I can come up with. She is a gifted teacher, a generous soul and someone I feel grateful to know. Here is a glimpse inside in her own words: "When I was 8 years old, I knew my soul’s purpose. I even announced it to my 3rd grade class during an assignment that asked us to state “what we wanted to be when we grew up”. Without realizing its implications at the time. I announced that I had “come to the earth to teach the world to love more”. My words flowed from youthful innocence and soul knowing.From as far back as I can remember, I could see into the multiple dimensions of this universe and sense people’s souls. I had vivid past life recall and a deep affinity to leaders who were living their soul’s mission to bring healing chan

A conversation with Kacee Must is the founder of Citizen Yoga. In the five years since she opened the first Citizen Yoga studio she has worked tirelessly to hold steady to her original vision, an alignment based yoga studio that was rooted in a deep sense of mutual support, respect and community. What you might not know about Kacee is that she traveled the world in her twenties in an effort to train herself to be more independent. She described herself like a lost puppy and was deeply craving meaning, understanding and a bigger picture perspective on this seemingly meaningless thing called life.  Her sister's suicide brought her back home, for a while and was a major catalyst in her eventual decision to open a yoga studio. Kacee is open, honest and forthcoming as she looks back retrospectively at all the seemingly random and meaningless interactions, moments and experiences that now fit together perfectly to create the beautiful mosaic of her life and her dedication to contribute goodness in the world. 

A powerful, insightful and vulnerable conversation with Kristina, the executive director of Detroit Dog Rescue. She is the definition of heart & hustle. She is fiery, driven, tough and an incredibly inspiring human. Did you know she learned both her street smarts and her marketing savvy selling CD's on the streets of the D? Did you know she found her way into this role by being a teenage battle-rapper in the 90's? I mean seriously?! No wonder she is so cool. Seriously, Kristina shares her huge heart, her drive, her challenging upbringing, her absolute dedication to following her soul's path. Her personal story of overcoming, of rising is so powerful and her innate resilience left me in awe. If you haven't heard of DDR yet, you are the minority. She is changing the face of non-profit animal rescues. She and her incredible team of humans run the only no-kill shelter in the city. Her mission not only to SAVE ALL THE DOGS but even more to help educate & support dog owners in Detroit wh

I am an expert worrier. I have refined this skill over the past 38 years. I was an incredibly anxious child from the time I was very very small. In an effort to survive the overwhelming energy of the world I learned to cope. I adapted to various styles of numbing, controlling and protecting. What we are now beginning to understand about neuroscience and quantum physics means that it is even more important than we realized to break these bad habits. We are truly in charge of our own destiny in so many ways. It is up to YOU to decided you are ready to create change, to break the habits, to end the cycle. I am in the work. Are you?

As she grew older her abilities developed, receiving messages from the Other Side, first from family members who’d passed and then messages from loved ones of people around her.  Lynn describes this gift of guidance from Spirit as “Second Sight.”Lynn shares with me fascinating stories from her life that lead her to waking up to and fully embodying her gifts, her vehicle as she describes it.  If you are a skeptic, listen.

Rachel has been working as a light-worker now for many years, but the journey to get here did not prove to be easy. This conversation is inspiring, eye-opening and perhaps even challenging to the way you see the world. Our chatting spans the gamete on what it is to be human and spiritual.  You will learn of some of the manymilestones in Rachel's life that woke her up to her own divine purpose, the work she does now to support others doing the same as well as deep conversations on what it is to be human, awake, intuitive and so much more. This is likely the first of many conversations and I can't wait to hear what you think about it. Rachel is not only a light-worker, she is also a poet and a writer.

It is then that I realized

This is a must listen! Meet Brenda Freeman, a vivacious badass woman who is changing the world one pelvic floor at a time. You may think this is overreaching but as she has discovered in her pilates teaching, a woman and her pelvic floor carry a heavy emotional, spiritual and sexual load. Brenda shares on how her own birthing experiences led her to pilates which took her on an unusual journey towards becoming a Somatic Sex Educator.  She has created her own special class called "Pussy Pilates", it is specifically designed for those with vulvas, to rehab, reshape and renew our relationship to ourselves. She is a highly respected pilates instructor, a teacher's teacher and all around fascinating woman. To be clear, this story and her work is not just for women, she has helped many men as well. So gentlemen, don't pass this one up! We talk about spirituality, growth, marriage, divorce, sex, pleasure, play, parenting and so much more! 

Mike Croy is a principal at school created specifically to support the needs of teens who are emotionally impaired, "EI" kids. The journey it took to get him here involved several twists and turns and a less than perfect childhood. His mother left his family with a "Dear John" letter when he was 11 and change and instability was his only constant growing up. His dad really rose to the occasion and Mike found his way into a love of running. Throughout his journey he was drawn to the misfits, the fringers, the outliers and this ultimately led him to the work he does now. My favorite part of his story comes in Part 2 where he incorporated his love of yoga into his daily life and beyond. Mike not only talks the talk but he walks the walk and continues to find ways to gift yoga to the typically underserved populations. You tell in this interview Mike is a pretty cerebral guy, he is thoughtful and contemplative and took the breadcrumb analogy to the max. Perhaps you will be able to look back at

There have been many conversations in the world of religion, spirituality, philosophy and psychology around the notion of the ego. I recently saw a post on social media that said "The Ego is Evil"... and while I understand how and why we might jump to that conclusion, the ego often gets a bad wrap. The ego is necessary in this human experience, otherwise embodiment would not be feasible. So, the question becomes how much do we give in to the whims of the ego and are we able to access the wisdom and inherent worthiness found in the soul? 

Steve Frank is an incredible human. I knew it the first time I met him. He has a way about him that makes you instantly feel supported, seen and capable. Steve is an avid cycler and his love for cycling eventually led him to find a career that feeds his soul. Steve had an unconventional upbringing as the child of a Rabbi and spitfire of a mother which shaped his life but not in the ways you'd assume.You will love listening to his story and be inspired by the life he has created for himself now. Follow him on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stevejfrank/His coaching website: http://evolution360d.com/steve-frank-personal-and-executive-leadership-coach/https://www.facebook.com/evolution360d/?eid=ARACezA_nCqROK92UkZijW0GIq7AkUQmZsGMuekkGBI8l1R_cRsNS38orU9LeFVLYU1R2MD7WpIZfRTh&timeline_context_item_type=intro_card_work&timeline_context_item_source=648590218&fref=tag

Are you sensitive to bullshit? Do you want to grow as human being and open yourself up to  a greater sense of spirituality? Do you find yourself intolerant of small talk? Are you willing to show up as yourself in the world, every day, all day? Join me in this lively conversation with myself, learn about pillow-cleavage and how it nearly put me over the edge... Xo, AnnP.S. I do swear. 

Are you feeling called to be more awake? Are you ever able to take a step back and say, wait a sec, this is not how it is supposed to go, this is not who I am, this isn't who I want to be. Are you ready to feel more connected, inspired and woke? For much of our lives we've been trained to stay in line, do what the world asks of us to be a good citizen, follow the rules, keep everyone else comfortable, conform. Many of us have spent much of our lives quieting the voice from within through your own special brew of numbing behaviors. Let's talk a bit about what it's like sleepwalking through life and why it's time to wake up. XO
