Anna's back with a tribute to Dolly Parton after her passing, exploring what her life teaches us about forgiveness and reclaiming power. This episode digs into why so many of us struggle with the word forgiveness – the trauma, the baggage, the weight we carry – and how Dolly's approach to life offers a completely different perspective on what forgiveness actually means.

Growing up, Anna learned forgiveness as a manipulation tactic, a bartering tool. She explores why that messed her up for years and kept her from understanding what real forgiveness actually is. Spoiler: it's not about forgetting, it's about freedom. It's about refusing to let what happened to you become the thing that destroys you.

This episode features the powerful story of Stephen Lawrence's parents – how they chose forgiveness not as a weakness but as an act of ultimate power. It's a story that made Anna pull over her car to process it, and it fundamentally shifted how she understands healing and moving forward after trauma.

Whether you're dealing with PMDD, childhood trauma, betrayal, or just the everyday resentment we all carry around like massive suitcases, this episode is about putting that shit down. It's about understanding that forgiveness is how you reclaim your life from the people and circumstances that hurt you.

Anna talks about Dolly's famous Dollyisms – those bite-sized nuggets of wisdom that remind us we don't have to carry hate, revenge, or bitterness forever. A tribute to a woman who lived forgiveness and showed us what it actually looks like.

Anna's back after a massive hiatus and she's got a lot to say. This is the transition episode where she's updating us on everything that's been happening over the last two years — and spoiler: perimenopause nearly killed her. She's going to be brutally honest about what the last 18 months have really been like, running on cortisol, adrenaline, and coffee, thinking her health decline was just stress from her son's school refusal and mental health struggles, when actually it was perimenopause unravelling her entirely.

If you've got PMDD or you're hormonally sensitive, this one's for you. Anna breaks down exactly what perimenopause has done to her — crushing fatigue that meant needing three days recovery after a makeup job, debilitating anxiety that never let up (unlike PMDD's cycles), and the physical toll on her body she never expected to talk about. We're talking vulvovaginal atrophy, loss of libido, loss of feminine sexuality — all the stuff nobody warns you about.

She's started HRT now (Mirena coil from April 1st, Estrogel for the last three weeks) and there's already been significant changes. Not out of the woods yet, but finally starting to come back to life. This episode is her saying what she wishes someone had told her: if you have PMDD, perimenopause is not going to be easy, and you deserve to be honest about how shit it gets.

“I know this sounds mad… but sometimes I think porn stars seem happier than most women.”

Not because of sex.

Not because of attention.

But because so many women are trapped living for everyone else’s approval.

In this brutally honest Her Shift conversation, Anna and Amelia unpack guilt, shame, authenticity, people pleasing, burnout, motherhood, self-worth and why so many women feel emotionally disconnected from themselves.

This episode is really about freedom.

Freedom from performing.

Freedom from perfection.

Freedom from needing permission to exist fully as yourself.

In this powerful Her Shift conversation, Anna and Amelia explore why so many women feel guilty prioritising their own happiness. Inspired by the Bloom Into You Masterclass, this episode dives into self-love, authenticity, burnout, people pleasing, motherhood identity loss and the emotional conditioning that teaches women to abandon themselves. If you struggle with guilt, self-worth, overwhelm or feeling disconnected from who you truly are, this episode offers practical insights and emotional reframes to help you reconnect with yourself.

After a quiet hiatus since early January, I’m finally sharing what has really been happening behind the scenes.

In this deeply honest episode of Her Shift, I open up about being diagnosed with adenomyosis, retiring from my long standing makeup career, and the layered hormonal storm of PMDD, perimenopause, chronic stress and burnout that has pushed me beyond functioning.

For years I have spoken about PMDD and trauma. But what happens when PMDD overlaps with perimenopause? What happens when chronic stress compounds hormonal sensitivity? And what happens when your body finally says no?

This episode explores:

• The symptoms and reality of adenomyosis

• How PMDD changes during perimenopause

• The impact of long term stress on women’s hormones

• Why high functioning women crash hard

• Burnout beyond productivity hacks

• Grieving a business identity

• Choosing health over performance

If you are navigating PMDD, perimenopause symptoms, heavy painful periods, chronic fatigue, emotional volatility, or feeling like you cannot keep pushing through anymore — you are not alone.

This conversation is for the women holding everything together while quietly falling apart.

It is not weakness. It is biology, trauma, pressure, and years of endurance colliding.

And sometimes stepping back is the most powerful shift you can make.

PMDD, perimenopause, adenomyosis, hormonal imbalance, chronic stress, women’s burnout, heavy periods, painful periods, hormone sensitivity, trauma and hormones, female burnout recovery.

In this episode of Her Shift, Anna unpacks the truth behind the quote “What we do not change, we choose.” Not in a motivational-poster way — but in a real, uncomfortable, grown-up way.

This is a deep dive into toxic goal setting, why January resolutions so often fail, and how staying stuck isn’t a lack of willpower — it’s usually avoidance dressed up as “reflection.” Anna explores how so many of us spend more energy listing what we don’t want — the job, the relationship, the body, the life — while refusing to take responsibility for building what we do want.

You’ll hear why:

•Talking endlessly about what you hate can become a coping mechanism

•“Manifesting” without action is just procrastination with better branding

•Staying the same is still a choice — even when it feels passive

•January doesn’t need pressure, punishment, or reinvention — it needs honesty

This episode is for anyone who feels stuck in cycles of setting goals, abandoning them, and then blaming themselves — especially women navigating burnout, trauma recovery, PMDD, perimenopause, or emotional exhaustion.

No hustle culture. No vision boards you’ll ignore by February. Just grounded truth, self-responsibility without shame, and a cleaner way to approach change — starting now.

If something in your life keeps repeating, this episode will help you see why — and what choosing differently actually looks like.
