Portrait of Anna Foucault, a career and lifestyle design expert

Hi, I’m Anna Foucault.

I’m a career and lifestyle designer based in Paris Region, France. My goal is to help you figure out what you want to do with your life, once and for all, so you can start living on your own terms.

I offer plenty of resources to help you uncover what truly matters to you and get clarity on where you want to go next. I also send out a weekly newsletter with actionable ideas for crafting a fulfilling life. Click here to learn more and sign up.

How My Work Will Benefit You

I’m an advocate for introspection. The central question I explore through my work is, “How can we infuse our lives with meaning?”

In other words, I want to create a world where anyone can discover their purpose and forge a path that aligns with it. My philosophy is centered on a single tenet—all the answers are already within you. And it’s my job to help you get to the bottom of your true feelings.

My writing focuses on topics like…

  • How to find your passion
  • How to know your life purpose
  • How to build the career you genuinely love
  • How to identify your strengths and weaknesses
  • How to start (and stick to) journaling without overwhelming yourself

Most of all, I write about how to put these ideas into practice with my introspection framework.

Most of the concepts I write about aren’t my own. They are ideas I tested and built upon in my own struggle to find a direction in life. I draw insights from eastern and western philosophy, anthropology, history, economics, and even works of fiction.

My personal experiences shaped how I see and approach life, so I don’t claim to have all the answers. But I’m happy to share what worked for me, and I hope you’ll find it useful.

My Interests

Things that I enjoy but don’t usually write about include…

Cafés

I love everything about cafés: cozy vibes, flat whites, and scrumptious treats. Whether it’s brunch or afternoon tea, there are so many delights! I also enjoy the ritual of brewing my coffee with a V60 or frothing the milk to silky perfection for a matcha latte.

Jazz

The idea of playing jazz has always felt daunting. But in 2018, I went to my first jam session and had such a blast that I began learning jazz piano. My current weapon of choice is a tenor ukulele, which has an unexpected synergy with jazzy tunes.

Craftsmanship

I am fascinated by the meticulous craftsmanship that goes into creating beautiful things. I can spend hours admiring them in art galleries or home decor stores. Sculptures, pottery, glassware, textiles or furniture—I find them all irresistible.
