Ep. 001: The Uncensored Story of Anna

Welcome to the very first episode of the Break the Record podcast, hosted by Anna Turunen!

Anna is a Finnish-born music marketing professional with five years of experience working at major record labels in Finland and London, U.K. 

In this introductory episode, Anna reflects on her multifaceted background, what inspired her to launch the podcast, and what to expect in future episodes.

Anna’s parents are mental health specialists: Her mother is one of the leading psychotherapists in Finland and her father was a psychiatrist. This led to an upbringing where Anna was always compelled to “over explain” her feelings and how she dealt with mental and emotional issues of any sort. At the same time, she had a deep curiosity to learn what makes people tick and learned how to peel down to the core of who they really are.

She struggled with insecurity as a child and never felt like she belonged until the age of 12, when she discovered the cathartic power of heavy metal. That was the moment that caused her to fall in love with music, and from then on, music became her North Star in life and career.

Anna goes on to share how her innate curiosity and love of music opened her eyes to a world outside the one she grew up with—and never felt a part of. It led to her motivation to see the world beyond Finland and pursue a career in the music industry and, eventually, becoming a certified hypnotherapist.

Three Powerful Quotes by Anna

Most people’s personalities are based on defense mechanisms. There is just not enough content out there of people who have gone through shit, are openly talking about it, and are actually talking about how they got to the positive place where they are now. I am a facilitator of positive change and transformation because I eventually transformed my own life through a lot of work. I want to share that with you guys.
