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.
