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.
