Anne’s Way2Happiness - insights to fulfillment through serving others.
In a world that often celebrates individual achievement, Anne Bellavance offers a refreshing perspective: true fulfilment comes from serving others and living the guiding philosophy of the Women’s Federation for World Peace (WFWP) International — 'Living for the Sake of Others' — inspired by the vision of its Co-Founders, Father and Mother Moon.
In her Insights Out podcast conversation with Dr Jennifer Ji Huang, Anne shares her journey through spirituality, education, community building, and women's leadership - 5 Insights to fulfillment through serving others.
Drawing on decades of experience across the globe, Anne opens up about what it means to live with heart-centred purpose — and how embracing values-based living can lead to deeper joy and connection.
1. Living for the Sake of Others - The Key to Fulfillment
At the heart of Anne’s message is the idea that real happiness comes from selfless service. Rooted in her spiritual upbringing, this principle has guided her through personal and professional chapters — from grassroots peacebuilding in the US and Canada to empowering women across Australia. Anne reminds us that giving isn’t about sacrifice but about creating space for love and meaning in our lives.
2. Building Leadership with Heart
Anne speaks powerfully about shifting from positional power to values-driven leadership. For her, leadership is not about control, but about humility, compassion, and lifting others up. Through her work with the Women’s Federation for World Peace (WFWP), Anne has championed women to lead with empathy and courage — especially the next generation.
3. The Importance of Mentorship
Mentorship is a recurring theme throughout the conversation. Anne highlights how women mentoring women fosters intergenerational learning and mutual empowerment. By sharing stories, struggles, and wisdom, mentors not only guide others — they also evolve themselves. This two-way relationship builds confidence and emotional resilience, especially in young women stepping into leadership roles.
4. Staying Grounded Through Spiritual Practice
Anne reflects on how her spiritual practice keeps her anchored during difficult times. Whether facing personal loss or professional setbacks, she draws strength from her belief in a higher purpose. Her example reminds listeners that faith, in whatever form it takes, can be a quiet yet powerful force in sustaining a life of service and integrity.
5. Joy in the Everyday
Despite the weighty topics of global peace and women's empowerment, Anne radiates lightness and gratitude. She shares how joy is found in small moments — a kind word, shared laughter, or simply showing up for someone. For her, these moments are the true markers of success and fulfilment.
Conclusion
Anne’s journey is a living testament to the idea that living for the sake of others is not a burden — it’s a path to joy, meaning, and real-world change. Her insights are both deeply personal and universally relevant, offering a roadmap for anyone seeking to lead with love and live with purpose.
