About Me

Hi and welcome! I'm so glad you are here. My name is Anna Broadwell-Gulde, and I'm a transformational life coach. I specialize in helping people navigate life transitions with ease, purpose, and care while attending to deeper questions of the heart and soul. I am a certified professional coach and have worked with adolescents and adults committed to seeking more authentic and meaningful lives. 

My own journey is one that has taken many turns along the way. After graduating from Hendrix College in 2013 with a BA in English, I lived in India for six months studying yoga and mindfulness techniques. I then moved to northern Brazil, where I taught English through the Fulbright Program for a year. Returning to the U.S., I first completed a Master's in the Social Sciences at the University of Chicago before pursuing a PhD in English. Currently, I am completing my PhD as well as a Master's in Social Work at UNC. 

In the midst of my studies, I was diagnosed with cancer. This experience shook the ground beneath me and led me to question my own values, beliefs, and purpose. A few years later, my father passed away, and I ended a long-term relationship. I share these life experiences because they have shaped my belief in the human capacity for resilience. Now, I help others who are undergoing changes–big and small–to create more meaningful and value-driven lives.
