Anne jokingly calls herself a Director of Magic, not because she does magic tricks, but because she discovered her ability to find the magic in life, no matter what she was going through - a skill which has enabled her to rebuild her life from scratch multiple times. This has taken her through two marriages, homeschooling two of her three children, starting and letting go of three businesses, and finally giving it all up to start over once again in a new country at 53.
Her move to Ireland, she will tell you, was driven by the magic that called to her on two visits in 2022. Here, on this green isle, she was finally able to focus on realising her passion - to inspire and motivate women in their forties, fifties and beyond.
It was during her work with students at the alternative school she founded in 2016 that she first discovered her real gift: an ability to see what others couldn't yet see in themselves, and to help them see it too. That thread, watching people transform once someone finally names what's already in them, has run through everything since.
In late 2025, she took over Contoura Collective, a business creating journals and manifesting tools - a happenstance she firmly believes was manifested at just the right time. Alongside it, she's building her presence as a speaker, coach, and entrepreneur, and is the creator of Crown Intentions™, a coaching method for women ready to write their next chapter, explained in her Guidebook and Journal, Steady. She also writes and podcasts Still Being Written on Substack (Link: https://annepaphitis.substack.com/).
In her spare time, she reads, dabbles with her ever-growing collection of tarot & oracle decks, avidly plays board games, and tap dances (very poorly).
