369 Anna McCracken: Living Your Freedom With Authentic Connection

My guest this week is Anna McCracken – Director at Anna & Friends, and host of How To Host A Dinner Party Podcast, a social strategist, storyteller, and adventurer, who blends her diverse experiences in social work, human rights law, and chronic health management to guide businesses towards relational ways of being.

Anna’s nomadic lifestyle has taken her across Australia, listening deeply to community stories and working in partnership to translate these voices to government and business. Her expertise spans policy development in areas like disability, mental health, education, and child protection, and she is passionate about using storytelling to build meaningful connections.

The impact of Anna’s work is transformative, empowering businesses and communities to foster deeper, more authentic relationships while navigating complex social issues with empathy and insight.
