Her Worth

Struggling to feel confident after trauma or PMDD? In this empowering episode of the Her Shift Podcast, host Anna gets real about what true confidence looks like for women navigating healing, cyclical living, and self-discovery. Anna shares her personal journey with PMDD and trauma recovery, busting the myth that confidence is about “faking it ‘til you make it.” Instead, she guides listeners through gentle, practical steps to reconnect with their authentic selves—even when self-doubt, anxiety, or hormonal chaos make it feel impossible.

You’ll learn:

• Why confidence isn’t about pretending, but about knowing yourself—even if it’s just knowing you love tea more than coffee today
• Simple, actionable journaling prompts to start rebuilding trust in your own voice
• How to set healthy boundaries when you’re recovering from gaslighting or burnout
• The importance of cyclical self-care and honoring your unique rhythms as a woman with PMDD

Whether you’re deep in a PMDD episode, healing from trauma, or just feeling lost, this episode is a reminder: you’re not broken, you’re becoming. Tune in for honest, no-BS guidance, a few laughs, and practical tips you can use right now to start building real confidence from the inside out.

In this episode of the Her Shift Podcast, Anna dives deep into the power of words and the life-changing wisdom of The Four Agreements—focusing on the agreement: “Don’t take anything personally.” We explore how both criticism and compliments are reflections of other people’s perspectives, not our truth, and why detaching from both is a radical act of self-worth—especially for women healing from trauma, PMDD, and people-pleasing.

Anna shares personal stories of recovering from narcissistic abuse and how the words we hear—and repeat to ourselves—shape our beliefs, nervous system, and self-image. We talk about how inherited shame, family expectations, and the pressure to be “nice” or “small” can leave us internalizing wounds that aren’t ours. You’ll learn why it’s so hard to speak kindly to yourself, how to recognize the “spells” cast by others’ words, and practical ways to rewrite your inner narrative with compassion and truth.

Whether you’re navigating PMDD, healing from toxic relationships, or simply want to break free from old stories, this episode offers gentle, trauma-informed guidance and real talk. Anna invites you to reflect on the sentences that shaped you—and to reclaim your voice, your desires, and your self-worth.

Key Topics:

• The Four Agreements and “Don’t Take Anything Personally”
• Why compliments and criticism are both about the giver, not you
• How words become “spells” that shape our lives
• Breaking cycles of inherited shame and people-pleasing
• PMDD, trauma, and the power of self-compassion
• How to start speaking to yourself with love and truth

Reflection Prompt:

What’s one sentence you heard growing up that still haunts your self-image? What truth could you replace it with today?

Trigger Warning: This episode contains open, honest discussion about sex, intimacy, and trauma—shared from the perspective of someone with lived experience of both intimacy wounds and sexual healing. Listen with care and skip if you need to.

Ever wondered how PMDD, your cycle, and your sex life actually connect? You’re not alone. In this episode, Anna gets real about sex, pleasure, and redefining intimacy—beyond the outdated scripts and patriarchal myths we’ve all been handed.

What’s inside:

• Why talking about sex matters for women’s health, healing, and PMDD (and why it’s so much more than just intercourse)
• The Intimacy Umbrella: how play, laughter, cuddling, and even eye contact are powerful forms of connection
• The science of orgasms: how pleasure lowers stress, boosts mood, improves sleep, and can actually help regulate your cycle and ease PMDD symptoms
• Cycle syncing your intimacy: what your body craves in each phase (follicular, ovulation, luteal, menstrual) and how to honour those shifting needs
• Busting patriarchal myths: why your pleasure matters, how to ditch performative sex, and the truth about the “good girl” narrative
• Practical tips for real intimacy at every stage—plus permission to break every rule that doesn’t fit you

You’ll get dry humour, honest stories, and zero judgment—plus a reminder that your body’s wisdom is real, your pleasure is powerful, and you are the prize (not the performance).

 Ever feel like the whole world’s playing along with nonsense just to fit in? You’re not alone. In this episode, Anna unpacks a big “aha” moment about conformity, the beauty industry, and why pretending to be cool is the ultimate energy drain for women with PMDD.

What’s inside:

• The “Emperor’s New Clothes” of beauty: why everyone stays quiet—even when it’s all bollocks
• How the pressure to look, act, and even speak a certain way fuels anxiety and self-doubt
• Why Anna finally said “no thanks” to the pretentious side of the industry (and how working with real women is the antidote)
• The link between PMDD, authenticity, and refusing to play along with what doesn’t feel true

You’ll get unfiltered stories, a bit of righteous rage, and plenty of laughs—plus practical reminders for anyone tired of pretending.

In this soul-deep episode, I open up about how losing my gran at 12 triggered a massive shift in my nervous system — and how that one event quietly rewired my brain, blocked my ability to learn, and forced me into survival mode for decades. We’re diving into the sneaky ways trauma suppresses our natural curiosity, our creative flow, and the joy that makes life feel worth living.

If you've ever found yourself doom-scrolling instead of creating, bingeing podcasts just to numb out, or feeling like your brain used to work better “before life happened,” this one’s for you. I also share a powerful tool (viacharacter.org) that helped me rediscover my biggest superpower: my love of learning — and how I’m now rebuilding a life that supports it.

This isn’t about hustle. It’s about healing through joy, creativity, curiosity, and self-trust. Your inner golden goose is still in there, babe — let’s revive her.

Listeners Will Learn:

• How trauma, especially childhood grief, can shut down the brain’s learning and creative systems

• What survival mode actually looks like in everyday life (hint: overthinking, multitasking, not feeling safe to rest or play)

• Why creative flow isn’t optional — it’s a nervous system need

• How to identify and nurture your top character strength using the VIA Character test

• The moment I realised my obsession with learning wasn’t random — it was the key to my healing

• A reframe on productivity: you don’t need to do more — you need to feel safe enough to be

In this solo episode, I’m talking about the Golden Goose Theory — and how so many of us are slowly burning ourselves out trying to do it all, without realising we’re draining the very energy that makes us powerful, creative, and alive.

I share what helps me feel human (and happy), even in the depths of depression — including the power of a good haircut, a toffee latte, someone else washing my bloody car, and yes, an orgasm (or three). This episode is a love letter to your needs, not just your responsibilities.

Inside:

✨ Why constantly doing everything is killing your spark — not proving your worth

✨ How small pleasures and support systems genuinely support your mental health

✨ What I really want for myself at home, in my work, and in my relationships

✨ The radical idea that maybe, just maybe, you don’t have to earn rest or pleasure

✨ Why it’s time to stop waiting for life to feel better, and start creating it now

This episode is for the woman who’s exhausted but still trying. For the one who’s wondering why she feels disconnected, flat, and resentful — and what it would look like to finally back herself enough to get the help she needs.

Let’s stop killing the golden goose. Let’s start nourishing her.

Ready to smash period stigma and laugh about the chaos of cycles? In this unfiltered episode of the Her Shift Podcast, Anna teams up with writer and creative powerhouse Heather Hendrie—one of the bold voices behind the bestselling Amazon anthology Awfully Hilarious: Period Pieces—for a raw, funny, and deeply honest conversation about PMDD, period shame, and the wild ride of the menstrual cycle.

• How period shame still shapes our culture—and how to say goodbye to it for good
• Hilarious and heartfelt stories from Heather’s “Awfully Hilarious: Period Pieces” and the inspiration behind her writing
• The magic and mess of our cycles: Maiden, Mother, Crone, and all the glorious chaos in between
• Why talking (and laughing) about periods is a radical act of self-love and healing
