You’re not in crisis. You’re just circling.
That’s the truth for so many high-achievers who find themselves in the messy in-between—the quiet, confusing space between knowing something has to change and actually doing it.

In today’s episode, we’re naming what it really feels like to outgrow the version of yourself that built your current life. You’ll hear why clarity doesn’t come before the decision—it comes from it, and why staying in “thinking mode” can quietly break your heart.

You’ll Learn:

• Why awareness without action keeps you looping in burnout

• The hidden grief of outgrowing your high-achieving identity

• How “movement” and “progress” aren’t the same thing

• The one small daily practice that rebuilds trust with yourself

• How to create clarity through motion—not waiting

In this episode, Nora Rose Zinerman—Creative Director, Designer, and founder of Soul Brand Alignment—joins me to explore what happens when design becomes a mirror of your true essence.

For Nora, branding isn’t about strategy or trends. It’s about remembrance—returning to who you are beneath the polished image and allowing that truth to lead.

Together, we talk about the spiritual side of visibility, the healing that happens through being seen, and how creativity can become a path of awakening.

Key Takeaways:

• A brand is not something you create—it’s something you become.

• True design begins with energy, not aesthetics.

• Visibility can be both vulnerable and deeply healing.

• When essence leads, alignment—and magnetism—follow naturally.

If you’ve ever felt like your online presence doesn’t quite reflect who you are, this conversation is your invitation to see branding not as performance, but as a process of becoming.

In this episode, Lillan Baruch—coach, mentor, and former advertising leader with over 30 years of experience—joins me to unpack the shift from performance to impact. For Lillan, belonging is not a bonus, but the foundation of leadership and resilience.

Together, we explore the trap of tying worth to output, the cost of chasing performance, and how true impact often comes in quiet, steady ways.

Key Takeaways:

• Performance without belonging often leads to burnout.

• Belonging creates the safety to move from proving to impacting.

• Impact can be quiet, steady, and deeply transformative.

• Leadership is not about metrics—it’s about meaning.

If you’ve ever felt stuck in performance mode or wondered how to create impact that lasts, this episode is a reminder: you already belong. From that place, your impact becomes inevitable.

In this episode, Beata van Velzen—team effectiveness coach, intercultural trainer, and creator of the Relocation e-course—joins us to explore a topic too often reduced to logistics: relocation. But relocation isn’t just about packing boxes and signing contracts. It’s about identity. It’s about nervous systems. It’s about belonging.

With over 20 years of international experience, Beata brings a human-first lens to leadership and team culture. Together, she and I dive into the invisible layers of relocation: the grief that comes with losing an old identity, the messy middle of transformation, and the blind spots leaders often miss when supporting international hires.

This conversation redefines what it means to lead with empathy in times of transition—whether you’re moving countries, stepping into a new role, or guiding a team through change.

Key Takeaways:

• Relocation isn’t just a move—it’s an identity shift.

• Empathy in leadership is less about fixing, more about presence.

• Structure, clarity, and rituals can be powerful forms of care.

• Belonging is not a bonus—it’s the foundation of performance.

If you’ve ever felt “off” in a new place, role, or season of life, this episode with Beata is a reminder: you’re not broken—you’re transforming.

You’ve cleared space in your calendar… but the second you try to slow down, your chest tightens, your mind races, and you feel like you’re disappearing.

In today’s episode, we’re talking about the hidden reason rest feels unsafe for so many high-achieving women—and why it has nothing to do with time management. I’ll share how early conditioning wires your nervous system to see movement as safety and stillness as risk, and why taking a day off can feel more like danger than relief. You’ll learn the small, practical steps to retrain your body to rest without panic—and why this shift is less about “self-care” and more about reclaiming your identity. If slowing down makes you restless or guilty, you’re not lazy—you’re running an outdated safety program.

You’ll Learn:

• How early conditioning ties your worth to constant doing

• The nervous system’s role in resisting stillness

• Why “just take a day off” advice doesn’t work

• Small, safe ways to start resting without overwhelm

• One reframe that turns rest into a source of power

You feel like you’re floating between two lives—the one you’ve outgrown and the one that hasn’t arrived yet...

In today’s episode, we’re naming the in-between space that no one talks about: The Void. It’s the strange, raw middle where your nervous system is done pretending, your old identity no longer fits, and clarity hasn’t fully landed. I’ll walk you through the three phases I see most often in high-achieving women navigating deep personal shifts—and why feeling lost might be the most honest place you’ve been in a long time. If you’ve ever whispered “I don’t think this life is mine anymore,” you’re not failing. You’re finally listening.

You’ll Learn:

• The hidden reason burnout shows up when success is no longer aligned

• Why the Void is uncomfortable—but sacred

• How to recognize when you’re performing instead of leading

• The identity shift no productivity hack can shortcut

• One reframe that brings relief when you’re in-between everything

In this episode, Veronica Guguian—marketer, community-builder, and founder of SPIN Ideas and BASE Conference—joins Anna to talk about something quietly powerful: values. Not the ones we put on our websites, but the ones we actually live by. The ones that guide our leadership, shape our visibility, and quietly burn us out when we betray them.

Veronica shares her journey of building a business that aligns with her truth—not trends—and what it really takes to show up with clarity, not performance. Together, she and Anna explore how values can be both your compass and your anchor in leadership, branding, and life.

Key Takeaways:

• When your values are out of sync, strategy won’t save you—alignment will.
• Authenticity without boundaries often leads to burnout, not impact.
• Real visibility starts with clarity, not volume.

This is a conversation for anyone who feels off—but can’t name why. The good news? The answers aren’t out there. They’re already within you.

Let’s talk about the most polished, high-achiever version of procrastination: waiting for the “right time.”

In this episode, I unpack why your brilliant brain might be using strategy as a shield for fear, and how the habit of postponing your truth is silently draining your power.

It’s time to lead now. Not someday.

You’ll Learn:

• The psychology behind indecision (and why it feels safe)

• The hidden cost of waiting “just a little longer”

• How to move through fear disguised as strategy

• One question that changes your relationship with action
