Stay ConnectedWelcome to Becoming Fearless, a podcast about what it takes to say yes to yourself when you are at the intersection of staying the path or taking massive action in your life.
I’m Annie Marchetta, a multi-passionate entrepreneur striving to be fearless in my own life while inspiring others to do the same.
Tune in for empowering conversations about saying yes to yourself, your dreams, and your purpose. Are you ready to start your journey to becoming fearless?
Today on the Becoming Fearless podcast, meet Kelsey Murphy, a business and life coach who works with people to help them redefine what they want to do for work and create businesses that fit their holistic visions of their lives. Kelsey has a background in advertising, but she always knew advertising wasn’t meant to be her long-term dream. What Kelsey really loved was personal development, so she started her journey toward life coaching. Join Kelsey and Annie as they talk finding your calling, building something you’re proud of, dabbling in your interests, finding a community, doing something meaningful, and taking responsibility for your own motivation.

“You have to inject inspiration into your life.”
“The emotional side of you is truly a superpower.”

Today on the Becoming Fearless podcast, meet Loey Lane, a lifestyle content creator and body positivity advocate, helping people find their voice within their own skin.

Join Loey and Annie as they talk building confidence, feeling like enough, embracing vulnerability, leading by example, being true to your message, and knowing you can truly do anything.
This week on Becoming Fearless, Annie shares her thoughts on the importance of gratitude. In life, and especially as entrepreneurs, there are always things that are going to be out of our control. When Annie feels overwhelmed by things that are out of her control, she always tries to ground herself with gratitude. Join Annie as she talks dealing with “what-ifs,” knowing you are enough, becoming a joyful person, and learning to actively practice gratitude.
On this episode of the Becoming Fearless podcast, Annie kicks-off the podcast’s new format with the story of how and why she got into interior design. Annie remembers loving interior design ever since she was a little kid, switching up the décor in her and her sister’s bedrooms. Then, while renovating a townhouse with her husband, she gained experience – repainting the walls, trim, and ceiling, ripping out floors and stairs, replacing vanities and kitchen countertops, and more – and sparked her love for flipping houses. Join Annie as she talks putting in the hard work, making it happen, being strategic, and taking pride in your work.
