Welcome to 2026 loves! It's good to be BACK!

In this solo episode with yours truly, we kick off with a spicy bang, but this is NOT another “new year, new me” pep-talk, it’s a full-blown energetic hard-reset.

In this raw solo episode I drop the 5 questions that torched every remaining tolerance, performance mask and outdated goal still draining my life-force after the brutal 2020-2025 nine-year cycle.

With starting the biggest year of my life this year in 2026 (including turning 38 and being weeks from our first IVF cycle), I share why I'm deleting the word “goal” from my vocabulary and replacing it with non-negotiable STANDARDS for health, love, money, time and freedom.

Expect spicy truths on: quitting the job you dread, dumping the boyfriend you keep “working on,” deleting the good-girl syndrome, and defining freedom on your terms, before the world decides for you.

Hit play, grab a journal, and finish the episode knowing exactly what you’re no longer available for in 2026.

This episode is raw, unscripted, wildly honest and one of the most important conversations Anna has ever recorded.

In this deeply intimate follow-on episode, Anna puts her partner Ryan on the spot with 9 revealing questions every woman should ask her partner before having a baby - especially about postpartum support, emotional safety, boundaries, intimacy, and mental health.

Ryan hasn’t seen the questions. There’s no prep. No polish. Just real answers about what it actually looks like to support a woman through birth, postpartum recovery, and the identity shift of becoming parents.

This is not about parenting styles. This is about how a woman is held after birth.

WHAT THIS EPISODE IS REALLY ABOUT

Most couples talk about how they’ll raise a child. Very few talk about how the woman will be cared for while she heals.

This episode opens the conversations many women wish they’d had before pregnancy and when they still had choices.

Together, Anna and Ryan explore:

• Postpartum recovery (physically, emotionally, hormonally)
• How relationships change after a baby and how to protect connection
• Why communication matters more than ever
• The difference between “helping” and actually holding
• Boundaries, visitors, and protecting the postpartum bubble
• Baby blues vs postpartum depression (and what to look for)
• Masculine leadership, emotional safety, and shared responsibility
• Why women aren’t “too much” - they’re just tired, touched out, and asking for help

This conversation is vulnerable, funny, confronting, and deeply grounding.

THE 9 QUESTIONS COVERED

These are the questions Anna believes every woman should ask her partner before having a baby:

1. What do you think my role is in the first weeks after birth and what do you see yours being?
2. What kind of dad do you want to be now, and what kind of partner do you want to be to me once the baby is here?
3. How will you care for me while I’m healing - not just physically, but emotionally?
4. How do you feel about co-sleeping and breastfeeding?
5. How will we protect our relationship and intimacy when everything revolves around the baby?
6. When I say I’m struggling, what does support from you actually look like?
7. Do you know the difference between baby blues and postpartum depression?
8. How will we handle visitors, boundaries, and overwhelm in the early weeks?
9. Are you willing to learn, together, about postpartum healing and matrescence?

These questions change everything.

WHO THIS EPISODE IS FOR

• Women considering motherhood
• Couples thinking about having a baby
• Partners who want to support better (but don’t know how)
• Mothers who wish these conversations had happened earlier
• Anyone who believes women deserve to be held, not just expected to cope

FINAL NOTE FROM ANNA

This conversation isn’t about doing it “right.” It’s about being honest enough to ask the questions that change your future.

If you’re a woman listening - save this episode. If you’re a partner - listen without defensiveness. If you’re already a parent - you’re not late… you’re just learning.

Today’s episode is the one you’ve been feeling in your bones.

I brought astrologer Luke Balcke back into the studio, my personal astrologer of three years - because what is happening in 2026 is unlike anything we’ve lived through in our lifetime.

Luke doesn’t deal in fluff. He deals in cycles, history, patterns, and the cosmic “clock” that has predicted every major shift we’ve seen across cultures, governments, economies, and consciousness.

And the message is clear:

A once-in-forever astrological event is coming. A collapse of old systems. A collective awakening. A reset of how we live, lead, earn, trust and move through the world.

This episode is not fear-based. It’s awareness. It’s preparation. It’s perspective. It’s the reminder that you were born for this moment in history.

Together we unpack:

• What the Saturn–Neptune conjunction at 0° Aries actually is

• Why this point is literally called “The World Point” in astrology

• What historical events have happened under this same conjunction

• Why 2025 was “the trailer,” and 2026 is “the movie”

• The potential collapse of financial, political, religious and health systems

• How to prepare yourself and your family without spiralling into fear

• Why so many people are turning to religion and why others are waking up

• How to stay sovereign, centred and grounded in uncertainty

• And why your soul chose to be here, now, for this exact timeline

This episode is big. It’s bold. It’s paradigm-shifting. And it might just be the most important conversation you listen to before 2026 arrives.

• Why astrology is not “predictive magic” - it’s the language of cycles

• How religion demonised astrology to keep power

• The transition from the Age of Pisces (belief) to the Age of Aquarius (knowing)

• Why the 2026 Saturn–Neptune conjunction is unprecedented in human history

• The Berlin Wall, civil rights, world wars and their astrological signatures

• What February–March 2026 is likely to trigger globally

• Economic bubbles, AI, currency collapse, political upheaval

• How to prepare without panic: food, cash flow, community, consciousness

• Why 2008–2023 babies (Pluto in Capricorn kids) are the rebuilders of society

• Why fear is useless, and personal leadership is everything
