  • Her Shift: The Two Truths That Decide Whether Your Relationship Will Last!

    Her Shift: The Two Truths That Decide Whether Your Relationship Will Last!
    2025/10/24

    In this raw, real episode of Her Shift, Anna breaks down the two factors that decide whether your relationship will last — shared values and mutual support for each other’s dreams. Drawing on her own marriage, she unpacks why love, effort, and communication aren’t enough when your core values clash. You’ll learn how to spot misalignment before it drains your spirit, why you can’t “fix” someone with different values, and how reclaiming your own dreams is the start of your next shift.


    This is a must-listen for women who’ve ever asked themselves: “Why does love feel so hard when we both care?”


    Keywords: relationship advice, relationship compatibility, values in relationships, personal growth, self-worth, healing from codependency, how to make a relationship work, trauma-informed relationship advice.


    Takeaway:

    Discover the two key ingredients every successful relationship needs: shared values and mutual support for each other’s dreams. Learn how misaligned values quietly destroy love and what to do when you realise you can’t change someone.

  • Her Shift: I Spent Over £50,000 on Courses and Self-Improvement — and Still Felt Worse

    Her Shift: I Spent Over £50,000 on Courses and Self-Improvement — and Still Felt Worse
    2025/10/17

    I’ve spent over fifty grand on self-development — courses, masterminds, coaching, therapy, the lot. Every time I clicked enrol I thought, “This will be the one that finally fixes me.”

    It never was.


    In this episode I unpack why learning and healing don’t stick when you’re still living in survival mode — and how trying to “improve” yourself can quietly become another trauma loop.


    We talk about:

    •The shame spiral of buying courses and ghosting them.

    •What actually happens in the brain when you try to learn while dysregulated.

    •Why “investing in yourself” can feel like punishment when you don’t feel safe.

    •The moment I realised I wasn’t lazy — I was traumatised.

    •How to start again, small and guilt-free.


    Takeaway:

    You don’t need another program to prove your worth. You need peace, space, and a nervous system that believes you’re already enough.

  • Her Shift: They Called Her Trash — She Wrote Bestsellers: Lessons from Jilly, Jackie & Megan on Reclaiming Female Shame

    Her Shift: They Called Her Trash — She Wrote Bestsellers: Lessons from Jilly, Jackie & Megan on Reclaiming Female Shame
    2025/10/11

    They called them trash. They called them disgraceful. They called them everything but what they were — powerful women who refused to carry other people’s shame.


    In this episode, Anna unpacks how women like Jilly Cooper, Jackie Collins, and Megan McKenna were publicly shamed, mocked, and dismissed — yet turned pain into power and kept showing up. From “trash-lit” novels that outsold their critics to public scandals that changed laws, these women remind us that shame is often a reflection of the accuser, not the accused.


    If you’ve ever been judged for your body, your choices, or your voice — this one’s for you. It’s time to drop the shame that was never yours to carry.

  • Her Shift:3 Surprising Things That Helped My PMDD Recovery & Healing Journey

    Her Shift:3 Surprising Things That Helped My PMDD Recovery & Healing Journey
    2025/10/03

    What if the biggest breakthroughs in PMDD recovery and trauma healing don’t come from therapy rooms or wellness hacks, but from the small rebellions you make in everyday life?


    In this episode of Her Shift: Surviving PMDD, Trauma Healing & Women’s Wellness Stories, Anna shares 3 surprising practices that transformed her emotional healing journey:

    •The Angel of Death Gratitude Theory — how imagining life as wasted and starting again today unlocked a whole new way of practicing gratitude and coping with PMDD.

    •Why saying “I’ll never do that again” (from ironing for others, to fake bathroom trips with friends, to pretending not to like sex in mums’ groups) became a radical act of healing and boundary-setting.

    •How reading, listening, and learning new ideas nourished her soul, shifted stagnant thinking, and helped her survive PMDD symptoms and trauma.


    This isn’t about fixing yourself — it’s about unlearning martyrdom, questioning the rules you never chose, and reclaiming joy, pleasure, and your own story.


    If you’ve ever asked:

    •What really helps PMDD recovery beyond treatment?

    •How can I cope with PMDD and trauma day to day?

    •What women’s healing practices actually work in real life?


    …this episode will surprise you.


    ✨ Listen now and discover how these three unexpected shifts can wake you up to your own power.

  • Her Shift: What Causes PMDD & Is There a Cure/Treatment?

    Her Shift: What Causes PMDD & Is There a Cure/Treatment?
    2025/09/19
    PMDD: One Cause, One Cure? Why That Myth Hurts & What Actually Drives Your SymptomsIf you’ve been told PMDD is “just brain sensitivity to normal hormone levels,” this episode is for you. I question the oversimplified narrative that there’s one cause or one cure for PMDD—and unpack why many of us have sky-high hormones, unique triggers, and different sensitivities (yes, estrogen sensitivity is real, not just progesterone). Using parallels from cancer treatment and mental health, I explore how complex conditions rarely have a single explanation or a one-size-fits-all solution.We get into:PMDD causes: hormone sensitivity vs. hormone levels—can both be true?Estrogen sensitivity (my experience) vs. progesterone sensitivity (TikTok’s claim)Why PMDD symptoms spike in the luteal phase—and why not everyone fits the same patternHow trauma, stress load, sleep debt, and inflammation amplify PMDDWhy you might feel “anxious/ADHD” only in certain cycle daysTreatment options: SSRIs, bioidentical progesterone, lifestyle shifts, nervous system tools—what helps whom, and whenTracking your cycle to find your unique PMDD triggers (and stop losing another month)This is an honest, lived-experience breakdown to help you name your patterns, ask better questions, and build a plan that actually supports you—without promising a magic cure.Who this helps:Women searching “Is PMDD caused by hormones or sensitivity?”Anyone confused by conflicting PMDD advice on TikTok or InstagramListeners with high estrogen levels or atypical labs who feel unseenPartners and friends trying to understand why PMDD looks different person to personListener takeaway: Your PMDD isn’t “all in your head,” and it isn’t one thing. It’s a neuroendocrine condition with multiple variables—hormones, nervous system, trauma history, stress, and lifestyle. When you map your pattern, you find your levers for reliefResources & Links:Battlefield Red Radio: The Hormone WarsThis is my private, unfiltered podcast for women surviving PMDD—no sugar-coating, just raw stories and survival tactics from someone who knows the battle firsthand.

    Her Shift: Luxury Self-Care at Home: How I Designed a Nervous-System–Safe Space for PMDD, Perimenopause, and Cyclical Living
    2025/09/12
    Ever wished your home felt like a luxury hotel—calm, sensory-soothing, and built to support your mental health? In this Her Shift Podcast episode, I share how I turned my home into a nervous-system safe sanctuary inspired by The Langham in Hong Kong: thoughtful scents, soft textures, high-quality washing detergent and cleaning products, candles, clutter-free zones, and intentional details that make everyday life feel supportive—not stressful.We go deep on how environment design can be a powerful act of self-care for women navigating PMDD, perimenopause/menopause symptoms, and cyclical living. I walk you through how I adapt my space to each phase of my cycle lighting, fabrics, fragrance, routines and why sensory choices (smell, touch, sound) can regulate the nervous system, reduce overwhelm, and boost mood and sleep. I also share the menopausal symptoms I’ve been managing (night sweats, brain fog, anxiety spikes) and the practical home tweaks that help cooling bedding, gentle laundry care, evening wind-down rituals, and visual simplicity to calm the mind.How to create a “luxury hotel” feeling at home without overspendingSensory self-care: using scent, texture, and sound to feel groundedPMDD- and menopause-friendly home setup for sleep, mood, and energyCycle-syncing your environment: luteal comfort, menstrual rest, follicular reset, ovulation hosting/social energyMy exact toolkit: luxury detergents, cleaning products, candles, perfume layering, soft furnishings, and micro-routinesThis is real self-care—no guilt, no perfectionism through PMDD days, perimenopause waves, and the shifts of cyclical living.Resources & Links:Battlefield Red Radio: The Hormone WarsThis is my private, unfiltered podcast for women surviving PMDD—no sugar-coating, just raw stories and survival tactics from someone who knows the battle firsthand.
