Book Anna Woolliscroft for engaging speaking engagements and heartfelt podcast interviews that leave audiences inspired and equipped with practical tools for transformation.

Meet Your Speaker

Hi, I'm Anna Woolliscroft, founder of Writing with Purpose and someone who understands what it means to rebuild your life from the ground up.

At 40, after a difficult relationship breakdown, I was lost. I didn't recognise myself anymore, and I had no idea what I wanted from life. Through journalling, nature connection, and an honest commitment to self-discovery, I transformed overwhelm into clarity, self-doubt into confidence, and fear into adventure.

Now, I'm on a mission to help 100,000 people discover the same transformation through the power of writing and nature connection.
