We all hope to change the world in a positive way but some of us end up feeling hopeless, frustrated or ineffective. Join host Jeanne Catherine and her guest Anna Debenham, who arrived in Portland OR in Spring 2016 with no connections to prison, or to the criminal justice system or any clue how to start a non-profit. She did have one thing - an understanding of the mind. Through this understanding, Anna began teaching in prisons, created a research project and built her own organization from scratch. Join Anna - a McVety Grant Recipient - to learn how a normal person finds success!

Anna Debenham Bio: Between 2009 and 2016 Anna built a successful business coaching practice in the UK, but her past addictions and her ongoing search for inner peace led her to discover the 3 principles and a program at the One Thought Institute in London. While at One Thought Anna had the opportunity to share this understanding with inmates at HMP Onley with Beyond Recovery. She found her passion. Moving back to Portland in 2016, Anna brought her work to prisons in Oregon and The Insight Alliance was born.

Anna has worked in many different countries, industries, and environments. Her work supports a more peaceful and balanced state of mind and reflects her own expanding appreciation of the infinite possibilities of life.
