Discover Your Radiant Inner Confidence with Ziji™ Start Living a Life of Passion and Purpose, No Excuses!
Ana Neff is known as the Ziji™ Mentor, and she loves the unconventional life. In University she discovered the outdoors and experienced freedom like never before, spending much of her time on epic road trips in the US and abroad, climbing numerous mountains and exploring distant lands. Her senior year she starting working as an alpine mountaineering instructor for Outward Bound West and was the youngest female they’d hired at that time. She subsequently worked in the US and internationally, guiding expeditions in the Himalayas, Alaska, South America, and Central America. In addition to living out of her car (by choice) for seven years and other adventures/misadventures, Ana’s life then led her to fullfilling careers as a Family Nurse Practitoner and Nurse Midwife. As an aside, mixed in with all this she was also a holistic health educator, massage therapist, and yoga instructor. She’s funny that way.
Her past experiences and challenges prepared her well for her next life lesson: overcoming not one, but two totally separate encounters with cancer. As Ana moved through these powerful experiences, she was overcome by the clarity she received from realizing just how precious life truly is. As is relatively common for those facing the realities she did, her values became clearer, her goals more pressing, and her sense of purpose impossible to ignore. Knowing life is a precious gift, and coming to terms with the fact that we have no idea how long we’ve got to make the most of it, Ana decided it was high time to Wake Up! Not tomorrow, not when she retired…but NOW.
In aligning her life with her dreams and committing to living Wild Awake, what began to impact Ana the most was the profound confidence and peace that developed from knowing her life would have fewer and fewer “what ifs.” By gaining clarity about what she valued and how she wanted her life to be, the Ziji™ set in. She then felt an indistinguishable desire to help others live whole, wildly fulfilling lives so that they too may feel the radiant inner confidence of Ziji™ and have no regrets. She firmly believes this is possible, and is passionate about helping others manifest their dreams without having to first face something like “The Big C” before they do. “Allow me to have done that for you,” she often says.
This insight led to an insatiable desire to spread the joy that comes from knowing confidently, radiantly, who you are and how you want to be in the world, and the peace that comes from living Full On, inside and out. Through this, Ziji™, was born, and Ana developed Full On™ coaching to take people there faster, because she gained a very real understanding that life was too short, no matter how long.
Her monthly eZine, “Ziji Up,” has hundreds of subscribers and carries on Ziji’s mission by keeping people connected to all that is creative, wild and free in themselves.
Ziji™ is about an inner radiant confidence that you carry with you. With Ziji™, you can take the risks that make life more rich and fulfilling, whether in being vulnerable, or brave, or the myriad ways we are in between. When you push yourself out of your comfort zone – whether in something physical like climbing in the mountains, or in the emotional and spiritual challenges of daily life – there is a stretching of the mind and spirit that allows for the manifestation of your authentic self. You can see the potential of deeply-held desires for a more fulfilled and balanced life becoming a reality because you have seen yourself succeed where you once thought it improbable or impossible. In going beyond our comfort zone and learning from each experience, we discover a powerful medium for tapping into our self-limiting beliefs and moving past them. It is in this ‘stretching’ that we realize our limitless potential, and it is inspiring and exciting!” ~Ana
