Her Worth

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.

This episode isn’t about vision boards and pretending everything’s fine.

It’s about the uncomfortable truth behind manifestation that no one really says out loud:

you don’t get what you want… you get what you believe you’re allowed to have.

Anna sits down with Amelia Rose Jackson for a raw, honest conversation about self-worth, money, rest, and the invisible patterns that quietly shape your entire life.

They unpack why so many women feel stuck no matter how much “work” they do — and how childhood conditioning, generational beliefs, and burnout keep you playing small without even realising it.

From money blocks and people-pleasing to the guilt around resting, this episode connects the dots between how you were raised… and what you’re currently allowing.

Because manifestation isn’t about thinking positive.

It’s about feeling safe enough to receive more.

You’ll hear:

• Why “I want it” isn’t enough if your nervous system says no
• How your childhood quietly decided your financial ceiling
• The hidden link between burnout, motherhood, and self-worth
• Why rest is one of the most powerful (and resisted) forms of self-love
• How to start shifting your identity without forcing or faking it

This is the episode that makes you realise…

you were never stuck. You were just conditioned.

Have you ever sat there thinking… what the hell am I actually meant to be doing with my life?

Not in a dramatic way. Just that low-level, constant feeling of being a bit… off track. Busy, capable, doing all the things — but still not fully aligned.

In this episode, I’m sharing a simple but honestly quite brutal mindset exercise I experienced at a yoga retreat that completely shifted how I see purpose, goals, and self-trust.

What sounds like a basic journaling task turned into something much deeper — exposing where I was clinging, where I was avoiding, and what actually matters underneath all the noise.

⸻

✨ What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

•Why most people feel stuck and unclear on their purpose

•The powerful 12 goals exercise that forces clarity fast

•Why letting go of goals is harder than setting them

•How to identify your one core purpose (without overthinking it)

•The unexpected way to use a “mentor” exercise to understand yourself better

•Why self-love and self-trust are the foundation of everything (even if you hate that phrase)

⸻

🧠 The Exercise Breakdown:

You’ll be guided through:

1.Writing down 12 goals or desires (no filtering, no editing)

2.Cutting the list down by removing what isn’t actually essential

3.Choosing one core focus that reflects who you truly are

4.Defining the traits of the person who would guide you — and realising… that’s who you’re becoming

⸻

💥 The Real Shift:

This isn’t about becoming your “best self” or fixing your life overnight.

It’s about getting honest.

Because most of us don’t lack motivation —

we’re just spread too thin across things that don’t actually matter to us.

And when you strip it back?

Clarity gets a lot simpler than you think.

⸻

🔥 If You’re Feeling:

•Stuck or directionless

•Overwhelmed with too many goals

•Disconnected from yourself

•Like you “should” know your purpose by now

This episode will hit.

⸻

💬 Come and tell me…

What was the ONE goal you couldn’t cross off?

What happens when you become everything for everyone else… and completely lose yourself?

In this powerful and deeply honest conversation, Anna is joined by a local award winning hairdresser turned life coach Amelia Jackson who shares the raw story behind her personal transformation. From becoming a salon manager at just 19, to navigating marriage, two babies in two years during the COVID lockdowns, crippling postnatal depression, grief, and caring for a father with Alzheimer’s — this episode explores what happens when life piles on faster than you can process it.

At her lowest point, she describes sitting at a routine smear test appointment and breaking down in tears, telling the doctor she couldn’t even remember the last time she’d washed herself. A moment that perfectly captures the invisible burnout so many women experience while caring for everyone else.

What followed was a radical shift.

She rebuilt her life, opened her own salon, stepped into wellness coaching, and began exploring manifestation, personal growth, and the courage it takes to reclaim your identity as a woman beyond motherhood and responsibility.

Together, Anna and her guest Amelia talk honestly about:

• postnatal depression and maternal burnout

• losing yourself in motherhood and caregiving

• grief, stress and emotional overload

• the pressure women feel to keep everything together

• manifestation and personal growth after breakdown

• building a business after hitting rock bottom

• why you can’t force people to step into their potential

This is a conversation about the messy middle of transformation — the moment when you realise something in your life has to change.

If you’ve ever felt exhausted, invisible, overwhelmed, or like the woman you used to be has disappeared, this episode will hit home.

Because sometimes the shift doesn’t come from motivation.

It comes from finally admitting you’re not okay.

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.

In this pre-Christmas episode, Anna gets real about the health struggles that shaped her year — from hormonal chaos and PMDD symptoms to exhaustion, medical frustration, and the emotional toll of living in a body that won’t be ignored.

This isn’t a polished “wrap-up of the year” episode. It’s an honest conversation about what happens when your hormones, nervous system, and health issues collide with the pressure of Christmas — and why so many women convince themselves they’ll “deal with it in January.”

Anna talks about:

•The impact of ongoing hormonal issues and PMDD

•Why Christmas often worsens symptoms instead of providing relief

•The dangerous myth of “just pushing through” for a few more weeks

•How guilt, obligation, and festive expectations stop women from listening to their bodies

•Why your health doesn’t pause for Christmas — and neither should your self-care

•What real self-care looks like during the holidays (spoiler: it’s not bubble baths or toxic positivity)

If you’ve been telling yourself:

•“I’ll rest after Christmas”

•“I just need to get through this bit”

•“Everyone else is coping — why can’t I?”

…this episode is for you.

This is a permission slip to stop abandoning yourself over the festive period. Your body is talking. Your hormones are talking. And listening now might be the most loving thing you do for yourself this Christmas.

✨ Gentle reminder: you don’t need to break down before you’re allowed to take care of yourself.

If you’re over 35 and your moods, cycle and sanity suddenly feel… unpredictable, this episode is your lifeline.

I break down what happens when PMDD meets perimenopause — the symptoms, the confusion, the emotional fallout, and the identity-level shifts women aren’t warned about.

We cover:

•The key differences between PMDD and perimenopause

•How trauma, stress and sensitivity magnify hormonal chaos

•Why doctors often misdiagnose this overlap

•What actually helps when everything feels “too much”

Questions answered in this episode:

– “Is this PMDD or perimenopause?”

– “Why am I so angry?”

– “Why does my cycle change every month?”

– “Why do I feel like I’m losing myself?”

– “Why is nobody talking about this?”

If the emotional chaos of midlife feels overwhelming — you’re not alone.
