Inspiring topics hacks and guest speakers take us on a journey around authenticity, challenging status quo, personal power and living a purpose filled life.

I'd like to invite you into a special episode where we talk with Annalise Griffith, about her journey around finding happiness and joy in her daily life. It has not always been easy, and she found herself a few years ago at a breaking point where loss upon loss upon loss was stacking up. And what she was able to find coming out of that place in her life was that there were a lot of really great joys that she found in her day to day, she also discovered new talents and hobbies. And underlying all of this improvement in her happiness became a much more confident person not only in her personal life, but also in her professional life. I'd love to hear your thoughts on this episode. As you listen. You can find me on LinkedIn at Angie belts McCourt on Instagram at Angela McCourt or Twitter at McCourt, Angie. So without further ado, let's hear from Annalise.

Annalise, welcome to shifting inside out. I'm so grateful to have you on this episode. To get started, why don't you introduce yourself?

Analise Griffith 1:51
Thank you so much for having me. So my name is Annalise Griffith. And I'm currently in Hernando Mississippi, which is a super small town. But I've been here a couple years and originally from Florida, the Tampa Bay area born and raised, and I'm here with my wonderful husband, Frankie, and our two puppies. And we've got a little boy on the way that'll be here in about eight weeks. As far as what I do for work, I'm currently working for Cisco, and I'm a change manager in their digital marketing area. Really exciting work, exciting time to be in change management, so much of the business and how we do things are changing. And yeah, outside of that just, you know, enjoy family and love to sing and play the piano and you know, a number of other hobbies that keep me busy to

Angela McCourt 2:48
love it. That's awesome. And I forgot that you are pretty much a semi professional singer. Yes. And we'll talk about that in the episode. Yes. So, on top of that, let's do a couple of quick round questions so the audience can get to know you. So what is your morning ritual or routine?

Analise Griffith 3:09
So I am honestly not a morning person. I I don't know. I'm just not I don't like getting. So my ritual is not a whole lot. I do like to wake up before Frankie and have like some moments to myself. And really what that looks like is just kind of setting my intentions for the day. So both for work and personally, what are those key priorities for the day and just kind of having some quiet time to focus on you know, what I'm grateful for? You know, just sometimes, if I'm up early enough, you know, read a chapter of a book, just kind of have some peaceful moments to myself.

Angela McCourt 3:51
That's awesome. You actually do have a ritual there.

Analise Griffith 3:56
Actually, one I don't work out in the morning or anything.

Angela McCourt 4:01
So that's awesome. And then how do you renew your energy, especially now being in your third trimester, if anything has changed with your pregnancy, and renewing energy share those as well?

Analise Griffith 4:13
Yeah, definitely. So actually, one of the things over the past year and a half that has been a huge energy renewal for me is working out, not in the morning. But a few evenings a week, I take a variety of different classes at a local gym. And just something about that dedicated time to my physical health just puts me in such a great headspace and just kind of gives me energy to kind of finish out my day. I work out in the afternoon and then like okay, now I can do dinner and do the things and so that's been a big one. And actually, I I don't work out as much now that I'm in my third trimester. So it's turned into more like at home status. thing and walk throughout the day and kind of just lighter exercise to still get that, but in a modified way. And then the other thing is just really tuning into things that I'm interested in. So I love to play the piano, for example, we actually recently got a piano, I haven't had one in my own home for years. So, so I'm rusty. But it just something about tapping into something you enjoy. And that creativity and just doing something just really works for me, it just sets me in a really great mindset. So even like a break between meetings, I'll go play a song on the piano and come back and I just feel renewed. So things like that. I've got a lot of things I like to do cooking. I like to paint and draw, but I'm terrible at it. So you know, just something that gets me feeling creative, I think is really a big renewal for me. I

Angela McCourt 6:08
love that. I love that. And then what about a guilty pleasure?

Analise Griffith 6:14
Oh, so because I love to cook, I love some indulgent recipes. That is definitely a guilty pleasure of mine. All things cheesy. Like, I love all the cheese. I'm a savory person. And then also love some reality TV, all the drama, which I shouldn't admit to, but it's the truth.

Angela McCourt 6:40
That's awesome. I love it. Oh, you know, and it's so amazing to because even you know, the music and singing and the things that you enjoy with cooking. That's one of the reasons I wanted to have you on this episode. Because I remember a few years ago, you and I had a conversation about tapping into creativity, and how do you spark creativity. And one of the things that you had started doing was writing a blog about things that brought you joy. And it was I felt like this pursuit of happiness, but in a way that was grounded, as well as realistic. You know, and I think a lot of times we chase this pursuit of happiness, we think it has to be grandiose, I know I was one of those people before. And you really opened my eyes a lot to the fact that you know, the small joys in life are really super important. And they actually do bring the happiness on a regular basis. So I was hoping that maybe you could share your journey with us. Because I think that, you know, it's important for people to have just different points of view of you know, maybe that grandiose Pursuit of Happiness isn't necessarily the best way to pursue, but they have it at their grasp. They have it at their fingertips, it's right in front of them. And maybe there are some examples and some shares that you can give as well, in your in your examples.

Analise Griffith 8:08
Yeah, absolutely. So the pursuit of happiness or joy for me actually started in a very negative place. So a few years ago, I just was in a really rough time in my life, we had moved away from friends and family and I had never been away from all of my friends and family. So that was just this huge change. And on top of that, just my husband and I were going through fertility issues and finally did get pregnant only to go through a miscarriage. And then I had both of my grandparents on my mom's side die, and just like a series of just really depressing, awful things happen back to back. And, you know, I found myself in this constant cycle of grief and sorrow that I just couldn't get out of it was this loop that just wouldn't, wouldn't go away. So what I started to do was, I started to just look for simple things every day, you know, like, anything as small as like, I went and got cheesecake and it was super delicious. We have a local cheesecake shop that is to die for. But it really for me started with it could be the smallest thing a stranger smiled at me as I walked into the store and starting to be mindful about keeping track of those little bits of joy throughout my day. I you know, over time just started to notice this big change in me. All of a sudden I was seeing more joy than I was seeing all the sorrow that was bringing me down. And that's really what started the blog that I began Writing was, I saw this huge impact it was having on my life. And I felt like how could I not share this with somebody else who might be struggling too. And I also it was also in part selfish, where writing is something I enjoy. So turning to that passion was another way that I was finding joy was turning to something that I had loved that I had kind of put on the backburner. And in fact, I, I did that in a lot of different areas. So I started that was when I started picking up an exercise routine, which became super impactful in my life. I started meditating, which I had never tried before. So it was in part, trying new things that helped identify new joy for me trying new recipes, trying new activities. But it was also turning back to passions I had had previously like, singing, for example. So I auditioned for our Memphis Symphony, has a choir that sings with the orchestra. So got into that, and then COVID happened, and we stopped doing stuff. But it got me back to that passion. And I think it I just took such a proactive mindful effort to look for that joy, starting with simple things, but then actively turning to passions of mine, as well as just new things that helped me find new joy to

Angela McCourt 11:39
and then throughout, you know, COVID, especially where, you know, it's lack of engagement and connection, and then not being able to pursue, you know, some of those other things. What kind of adjustments have you made to still continue to find those joys because I think everybody kind of is trying to figure that out. And they're like, Okay, things are just not really going back to the old normal. So what is the new normal look like? What are some of those new joys that you found?

Analise Griffith 12:07
Yeah, so after realizing, okay, we can't do the singing thing anymore. I started turning more to cooking, because that had been a big interest for me. So I started just, you know, trying new recipes all the time, learning new techniques, and, and that really started a huge, exciting thing. For me. I think part of it, too, was like part of my grief was losing my grandmother. And she was very, very good and wonderful at cooking and baking. And it felt like it was also connecting me with a part of her too. So I just kind of adjusted, I just said, You know what the singing thing isn't really working out right now. Let me turn to a different passion and see where that leads me. And I think a big thing I would call out is just patience, because it took a lot of trial and error to figure out what are those right activities, and it's changed over time, like, I'm less than to the cooking now. But because I have a piano, I'm super into that. So it's just, you know, kind of being patient with yourself while you figure out what's right for you. And also that flexibility and openness to adjust when maybe it isn't right, or maybe COVID happened, and you can't do it right now. Mm hmm.

Angela McCourt 13:29
And I know one of the things you and I had talked about, because you were very big into travel and exploring and adventures that you and Frankie would go on prior to COVID. But what are there things that you've been able to do? Still it maybe smaller scale, especially being located where you are, because I'm sure you have lots of you know, parks and whatnot around you. Are there any other things that you've found new, that have kind of replaced that adventurous side that you guys had? And yeah,

Analise Griffith 14:02
definitely. So it definitely smaller scale. We've stuck more to things we can drive to. And just kind of, it's kind of made it more fun to research honestly, because it's, you know, finding kind of smaller off the beaten trail destinations that aren't like, you know, like before we we took a trip to Chicago, right, which is a huge city with a massive list of things you can do. Where like, you know, middle of nowhere Alabama is a little less researched, right. So we definitely have found more, you know, parks and just kind of more nature destinations than like big cityscapes or big kind of tourist trap attractions. we've kind of gotten more creative with let's go to this new small place. We actually Because of that love of these trails and some of the things we got an interest in, got a new vehicle that's better suited for like off roading stuff so that we can take even more complex trails in the car. And so it's actually kind of been nice. I think it's opened up a new interest for both of us.

Angela McCourt 15:22
Oh, that's so awesome. I love it. I love it. You can still be adventurous, even if it's not the way it used to be for now. But that's so cool. I love that. And then you adopted a couple of Furbabies that last year, the year before. Yeah, talk a

Analise Griffith 15:38
little girls. And I apologize if you hear them at any point because they're rowdy. But actually, they adopting them has been one of the biggest joys in both of our lives. Because especially after losing a child and just the struggle to start a family for so long. Our house just felt very empty. And I think bringing new life even though it wasn't what we wanted into our home just made such a difference. Like they just they bring an energy and an excitement into the house that has just been life changing quite honestly, they they are. They're my babies, like they got you know, a bunch of Christmas presents and all the things they are spoiled rotten, that's for sure. But But yeah, I think they just they made such an impact. And also, I love that we adopted them versus like, you know going to a breeder because there's just so many animals without loving homes and one of the dogs we adopted the it's a mom and a daughter but the mom was old enough to remember the cruel such situation she was then they were adopted from a cruelty case like police were involved in the whole thing. And just kind of seeing her find her comfortability after coming out of such a horrible situation was such a cool experience to be a part of to know that like, Not only have they helped us in this incredible way, but to see them find their happiness and home and safety. So highly recommend for babies. No, just wonderful.

Angela McCourt 17:38
I completely agree. And I think to the healing journey, animals in nature just have some really strong, medicinal type of, of healing over humans for sure. Yeah, I felt I felt that on my own journey as well. So, um, as far as you know, some of the things that you can share, as far as your exploration has some things you knew already that you you know, really in the pursuit of happiness that you already knew brought you happiness or brought you joy in your day, as you were pursuing kind of learning more like, what were some of the things that you explored? Or how what can you share with the audience as far as in the listeners, what they can maybe do, just to kind of say, you know, am I interested in something else? You know, what about this? What about that? What, how did you approach it?

Analise Griffith 18:26
Yeah, to be honest, it was a lot of googling. You know, there's so much wonderful like, one of the great things I see about the internet and books and, you know, all these great resources we have at our fingertips all the time is, there's this wealth of information of here's things to try. So that's honestly, where it started for me was, okay, I'm in this really rough place, how do I find more joy in my day to day life, and it definitely started with just a list of things on the internet, it was okay, working out and like physical health and activity was a big one that I kept seeing consistently. So I was like, You know what, that's never really been my thing. But let me try it. And what I found is that it wasn't that it wasn't my thing. It was that. Honestly, I hadn't found the right physical activity or workout for me. So once I did, it was this. It was this wonderful moment where I realized this works for me. So for me, that happened to be kind of like less cardio intensive and more like flexibility and strength training type exercises. So finding that I think was a big thing, and just that openness of let me let me try something even though it didn't work before too. So yeah, it was starting with what What have other people said has worked for them. And learning from that. And I think to just tie it all, like, you never know what's gonna stick. So, you know, I didn't know that I would end up liking bar as a workout, but I do. Or that I would end up super enjoying baking, because I had always enjoyed cooking, but not really baking. And I was like, You know what, let's give it a try. And I really enjoyed it. So I think it's an openness to just try a lot of things and see what sticks. Mm hmm.

Angela McCourt 20:39
Well, and even like you said, you know, some things kind of come in, and then they go out and something else can come in. But the more exposure you have to the different types of of, you know, whether it's hobbies, or activities or just routines, you know, and shared rituals and routines that people have, which is why we ask that question on this podcast is to is to share, you know, because people are always looking for something new to try. It's interesting, because, you know, one of the things that you had mentioned early in your, in your journey in the story was, the thing that kind of got you shifted from the state of grief and loss to the state of mindfulness really is where I kind of heard that coming out was noticing and appreciating the little things and you know, the phrase, stop and smell the roses, roses, it sits so strongly with me, because I feel like we're in such a robotic mode of doo doo doo doo doo all day long, every day. And it's not it creates an unhappiness, because we don't feel very fulfilled. And you know, even the smallest things of acknowledgement and being seen, seeing others kindness, sharing that exchange, those types of things really do impact us as humans, because that's part of you know, who we are, why we're here. So I think it's important that it's, it doesn't have to be this grandiose set of things either, you know, it can be those small things. And it can be just shifting your state, depending on where you are today, to getting to that mindfulness, and then getting into, you know, that state of every day, you know, finding and seeking those joys and doing things that bring you joy and happiness. So I think that that was a really strong message that I heard early on in your journey there that for many folks is probably a great starting point, you know, for them. And you know, when when I think about just those small little things, like I love looking out my window and and watch the hummingbirds come up to the hummingbird feeder like it is I stop what I'm doing. And I watched them. And some people may think that Oh, come on, you know, you can't be productive. But you know what, as soon as I go back to whatever I was doing, I am clear headed, I am energized. There's just something to having those little joys like you said, taking your walks throughout the day, taking a break going and playing a song on the piano, disrupting your brain from the robotic mode of what we're doing all day long. I think also, it gives us space, it gives it room it gives us room to you know, open, be creative, reenergize decompress, you know, whatever it is needed to get us then, you know, kind of back into our groove again and going, Are there any other things that you can think of that you can suggest? Or that you have actually found work really well?

Analise Griffith 23:39
Yeah, actually, you made me think of something. So the thought of like, looking out the window, right? Like, maybe you have a certain view in your house that like that window is your window. Something visual to be able to kind of turn through turn to throughout the day, I think is just so wonderful even to position that as your workspace if you can to kind of rearrange. For me, the kind of visual thing I like to have around all the time is actually fresh flowers on the kitchen counter. I don't know why, but I just I love flowers. So. So having them they're visible in a space that I'm gonna walk by all the time, makes a really big difference. It just makes me smile and makes me happy. And so let's say little things like that, you know, if it's a quote you really love for a while when I was really struggling I was I was putting affirmations and quotes all over the house. Just as like a reminder that like you've got this and you're doing well and you're going through this process. And also a reminder of, you know, just I think there's a lot of power in words. So seeing, you know, these really beautifully written quote that were encouraging or helping me just set my mindset and a better place made a difference. I think another one that I haven't touched on yet to is finding a way to help others. I think that made the really big difference for me where I had been through all this, this terrible stuff and had been in this awful place. And when I started blogging and sharing my journey, mostly around the fertility side of things, because that's where a lot of my trauma and lack of joy was, was in that whole experience. And when I started to share, it just was amazing to me how many people reached out that I didn't know, we're also struggling. And being able to be a support to them as somebody who was in this process of finding joy, despite a really hard circumstance, just really made me feel like, you know, maybe all of this is for a reason. I know, maybe that sounds cheesy, but it, it felt like okay, maybe this is my purpose in this is to be able to support somebody else. And the condition that causes my fertility issues is called PCOS. And the other thing I did was I started contributing to an organization that helps look at research for that health condition. And really provides a lot of resources for patients that are dealing with that diagnosis. So that was another way where I found I was helping people through supporting an organization that, that I believed in and has this beautiful mission and is supporting people just like me all over the world. So I actually this past year served on their board. And that like, that was just another layer of being able to help people through something that had caused me a lot of pain and a lot of hurt. But, you know, being able to take that and turn it into something purposeful was, was really beautiful.

Angela McCourt 27:15
I love that. It I think, you know, I've always found to that whenever we're in a bad place or in a low place, the more we can kind of turn it around, and you know, shine a light outward to others, versus kind of retracting into darkness, or, you know, our own internal, you know, expectation of the grief and sorrow that we're supposed to live in, is when we turn it around, and we shine that light on others. That's probably one of the most impactful from a purpose from a fulfilling from a joyful perspective of anything that we can do, like on our own for ourselves. And so yeah, thank you for sharing that. Because I think a lot of times people forget that. They forget that part. They forget how gratitude, you know, and just having a gratitude practice, I call it living thankful, I think, also opens kind of the energy for joy and happiness daily. When you're in that space, you're in that mindset, you're in that open heart type of living, I think that really does actually open it up for even more, and for you to realize and recognize more. So yeah, yeah, thank you for definitely

Analise Griffith 28:35
did for me, and I think, I think too, it just helps you realize that you're not alone and feeling the way you're feeling to like being more honest and transparent about how I was feeling what I was struggling with. I met so many people that like we're also sitting alone in that struggle, and being able to become support for each other. Just, it's just a wonderful thing to be able to support another person. And I think it also selfishly reminds you You aren't alone can help you in that side of things to where grief, sorrow, depression, all of that can put you in such an isolating place. And for me opening up, I realized I'm not isolated. There's plenty of other people experiencing these challenges too. And so I think it also is a good way to to remove the isolation of that type of feeling.

Angela McCourt 29:38
Yeah. I also view kind of your acts of sharing as very bold and courageous. Because like you said, there's so many people that you didn't even know we're also struggling because I think especially in you know, fertility that everybody feels like they're on their own and there isn't an open kind of floor. I'm in support system and sharing, it's like a lot of people really suffer in their own journey. Maybe even on their own, like, you know, their spouse isn't even really connected into what they're going through. And so just the fact that you came out and started talking about your journey to I find very bold and courageous, and I think it's beautiful. So, kudos to you and that, and like you said, there, there were, I'm sure way more people than you even know that you impacted in a positive way. So that's awesome. I love that.

Analise Griffith 30:31
Thank you,

Angela McCourt 30:32
that makes me happy.

Analise Griffith 30:35
You know, it was hard. It's, you know, like looking back on it. Now, it doesn't feel as bold and courageous. But at the time, I was terrified to be so open about a topic that honestly isn't talked about a whole lot. And there's this just kind of discomfort around it, yet, it impacts so many people. So you're right, there were tons of people in my life that I had no idea. We're going through the same things. And I think what was most exciting was to see other people find their bold and their courageous and even be able to share with family, like there were some people who hadn't even talked to their family about everything they were going through, and we're getting the questions of, oh, when are you going to have kids and all this pressure. And so I, you know, now it's now that I've done it, and I've been very open. I can't imagine not doing that. But it definitely was scary at first. And I would just encourage anybody to speak up, and you never know what somebody else is going through. And I think that's what I learned is, I felt like it was just me in this terrible situation. And I learned there were so many other people that were also in it, and weren't saying anything. So I think I would just hugely advocate for speaking up sharing what you're feeling, I think there's just so much power in being vulnerable. And just being open and transparent. I think it has served me well, in so many ways. It's brought so many people into my life that I don't think I would have the same closeness to if it weren't for saying, Hey, here's what's going on with me. And it's just, it's been so worth it.

Angela McCourt 32:33
Wow, that's awesome. I love that. One of the things too, that I've noticed about you on your journey is your confidence has increased. And, you know, I called out the bold and courageous you know, I called out the, the, you know, seeking your creativity and creating creating your blog, which is, you know, was beautiful. But I, I see this building blocks of confidence in you, over the years that I've known you and I feel like I just had a click in my head, like, you know, maybe confidence has also something to do with your with happiness and joy, and opening it up to finding and, you know, just knowing that, hey, you know, I'm gonna go figure something out, I'll find some I'll find a way I'll find something that'll make me happy, I'll find some joy in my day. You know, and confidence, I think, you know, when I when I look at lower confidence, I look at, you know, all of us have dealt with low self esteem at some point in our lives. We're, it's a struggle to find that joy to struggle to find that happiness, because in those instances, there's a lot of fear. And there's a lot of doubt, and there's a lot of dwelling honestly, that can happen and you know, just making even small moves or small decisions. So what are your thoughts on the tie between confidence and happiness building?

Analise Griffith 34:00
Absolutely, they're connected. And I like I see the change in myself over the last few years to where, when I kind of started on this journey, I was in a terribly low place with self esteem. You know, as I'm sure you can imagine, you know, as a woman, you know, one of the things you hope for most people hope for is motherhood and knowing like your body isn't giving you the ability to do that and losing a baby and just all of that I just I hated my body and so much about myself and as I started to look at joy in my life, it just started to make me see myself differently too. And honestly, I think a big change and like the self esteem as far as like how I look and how I feel about myself physically was working out that for me like to see my body Do new stretches that I couldn't do when I first started or, you know, being able to lift heavier weights or seeing like progress and the capability of my body through that was really empowering. So I would say if you're somebody that's struggling on like the, the self esteem as far as like how you feel about the way you look or your body and what it's capable of, that made just such a transformative difference for me, and I, you know, I haven't hit some magical goal weight number. To be honest, I don't even really pay attention to the scale. It's more about how I feel. And I feel empowered, and I feel confident and better about me, and how I look and all of that, I think on the confidence scale to there's just something about seeing yourself, tap into new things. And, you know, in some cases, I did well with them. And, you know, that's definitely a confidence boost, when it's like, oh, my gosh, I can do this. And also, too, I think, you know, the challenge of the whole process, right like to go from this really rough place to get to this point where I'm starting to see little bits of joy, and then ultimately to the place I'm in now, where I feel like this pursuit of happiness has been reached, I've found it in all the little joys of my life. And I think going through that process and seeing yourself come through, it is a big confidence builder, too. And it certainly showed up. I think it shows up in a lot of areas, but definitely at work, I would say I typically am a more reserved, soft spoken person. And as I started to be more vocal and share my voice more in my personal life, I noticed I was more confident at work and speaking up and just how I showed up there was even different so it it translates not just to your personal life, certainly to your professional life, too. So I just feel like you're right, there's so many connections here, right? Competence, to joy. And you know, how this journey plays out isn't just about you and how you show up personally, it's about all of you. Mm hmm.

Angela McCourt 37:31
Yes, it is beautiful. I don't even think that. I don't think we should go on. Like, that was like the Mic drop. And you eautiful Thank you. I wouldn't like to ask you, though. And thank you so much for your shares. I know, you know, like you said, most people have a hard time talking about these things in you're talking about this with a group of listeners that you don't even know most of them. So I really appreciate your vulnerability, because I really do feel that a lot of things we see it's, oh, this person is so happy over here. But what was their struggle to get there? What was their journey to get there? What was the path to get there? And I feel like you really, you know, shared such a beautiful story of vulnerability and also also growth and exploration. And you know, really just flexibility, you know, and how you approached all of that as well. So thank you for sharing. I would like to ask you, if you have any call outs that you would like to share, whether it's a company and organization or nonprofit products, books, anything like that.

Yeah. So a couple of books born to shine by Ashley Lemieux is one of the ones that like, helped with this whole confidence, Joy journey. There's also, you know, not selfishly, I'm also plugging for your book, because it works. And I see how so much of what I just talked about is also there, right? It's all about I think finding joy, a lot of that is being your authentic self. So I just feel like the two topics tie together very beautifully. And then I'll call to the organization I mentioned earlier, PCOS challenge that supports women with PCOS. It's just a really wonderful organization very near and dear to my heart. So just a plug for them. When and the work

they do. And I will include their website link in a little bit information in the show notes for folks to and then also the social media posts too. But that yeah, that that is beautiful. And I just am so proud of you too, for joining the board. I think a lot of times oh yeah. A lot of times we feel oh well. I can support an organization but I I'm too young for you to hear this. I'm too young for position or I'm too busy to do a board position or I'm to this or to that. But honestly, like a lot of the board positions can bring a lot of joy. Like just being involved in a company and in an organization or nonprofit can really give you a sense of joy as well. And purpose, you know, and I'm proud of you for doing that. It's awesome.
