About Me

Hi, I’m Anita Hartog – founder of Rooted & Renewed and One Heart At A Time Foundation, podcast host, certified life coach, speaker, mental health advocate, and a woman whose story is marked by both deep pain and powerful transformation.

I’m a suicide survivor. At 18, I reached a breaking point so dark I almost didn’t make it. Thirty years later, I had to endure the unimaginable. Losing my 19-year old nephew to suicide. That pain cracked something open in me, but it also ignited a fire. I knew I couldn’t stay silent. I had to do something. That’s when One Heart At A Time was born. A mission to remind people, especially our youth, that they matter, they’re not alone, and healing is possible.

I’ve walked through storms most wouldn’t expect: I was married to a multimillionaire who, over time, lost everything to meth addiction. Watching someone I loved fall so far, and feeling powerless to stop it nearly broke me. But I didn’t stay broken. I chose to heal. And that choice is what drives everything I do now.

Today, I use every bit of that lived experience to teach, lead, and inspire. I’ve been blessed to learn life changing tools rooted in neuroscience, inner healing, and emotional intelligence, and I continue to learn every single day. So I can show up fully equipped to help others rise.

I’m an empath to the core. I feel things deeply. Sometimes I can sense someone’s emotional weight before they even speak. I consider that sensitivity a sacred gift. It allows me to hold space in a way that makes people feel seen, safe, and supported.

If you're here, it’s not by accident. Maybe you're in a hard season. Maybe you’re trying to find your way back to yourself. I want you to know; you’re not alone. You can rise. You can heal. You can begin again. And I’d be honored to walk beside you as you do.

"When you begin to heal, your heart develops new tastes. Chaos loses it's flavor; and calm becomes the dish your soul craves."
