If the thought of going back to work feels heavy, this episode is for you. Anastasia unpacks why that January dread isn’t laziness or failure — it’s information from your body asking you to listen.

In this episode, you’ll explore what that heaviness might really be pointing to: over-giving, under-support, running on empty, or living out of alignment with what actually matters to you. Instead of pushing through or judging yourself, you’ll be guided to ask a better question: what is this trying to show me?

This is a gentle, honest conversation about protecting your energy, adjusting how you work, and giving yourself permission to want more — without burning your life down.

If work feels overwhelming right now, press play. Your body might be wiser than you think.

In this episode, Anastasia shares the energy she’s choosing to bring into this year — and what she’s intentionally leaving behind. Recorded in the quiet of a summer morning, this conversation explores slowing down, setting guilt-free boundaries, and releasing hustle-for-validation.

Instead of starting the year with pressure and urgency, this episode invites you to lead with intention, self-trust, and alignment. You’ll reflect on success without burnout, listening to your body, and why you don’t need a new version of yourself — just a deeper connection to the one you already are.

If you want this year to feel calmer, more grounded, and more aligned, this episode is for you.

Welcome to a brand new year, a brand new chapter, and a whole new moment where everything is possible if you choose it.

But here's the thing: Anastasia isn't here to talk about resolutions or pressure. This episode is about recalibration. It's about remembering who you really are and returning to yourself as you step into the new year.

Before rushing into vision boards and goal setting, Anastasia invites you to pause. You can't activate your next level while carrying the emotional luggage of the year before. So she walks you through leaving last year with love, acknowledging what felt heavy, what drained you, and where you surprised yourself.

Then comes the shift: instead of asking "what do I want to achieve this year?" Anastasia flips the question to "who do I want to be?" Because your identity always becomes your results.

She gets real about motivation, sharing a personal story about working with two different health coaches. One felt misaligned and left her with migraines and frustration. The other? Pure alignment. The difference wasn't the program, it was the energy. And that's the point: motivation doesn't create change. Energy alignment does.

In this episode, you'll explore:

• How to close out last year without fixing or forcing
• Why "who do I want to be" matters more than "what do I want to achieve"
• The difference between pushing and flowing with aligned action
• How recognizing misalignment can change everything
• A powerful New Year chant to anchor your intentions

This year isn't about becoming someone new. It's about coming home to you.

In this heartfelt episode, Anastasia dives into the real meaning of happiness—not the picture-perfect, Instagram version, but the grounded, sustainable joy we create in our everyday lives. After revisiting The Happiness Plan, she shares the powerful shift that hit differently this time: happiness isn’t something you arrive at… it’s something you practice.

Through reflections on growth, surgeries, stillness, motherhood, business, and boundaries, Anastasia explores why so many of us postpone happiness until “after”—after the goal, after the income milestone, after the holiday, after everything is finally perfect. But life rarely works that way. True fulfillment comes from the small, intentional rituals that make your ordinary days feel safer, softer, and more aligned.

From morning coffee outside, to laughter with your kids, to moving your body because it feels good, to saying “no” without guilt—this episode invites you to notice the tiny moments that are already holding your joy. You’ll also be guided to name three things that bring you genuine contentment today and turn them into weekly non-negotiables.

If you’re ready to bring more peace, purpose, and alignment into your daily rhythm, Anastasia invites you into Thrive to Mastery—where happiness becomes a lived practice, not a goal on the horizon.

In this episode, Anastasia opens up about an unexpected setback—dislocating her ankle—and the powerful lessons it forced her to learn. What began as a painful fall quickly became a wake-up call about burnout, constant pushing, ignoring signs, and the belief that our worth comes from “doing.”

As she shares the raw frustration of losing momentum, missing plans, and being forced into stillness, Anastasia reveals the surprising truth: rest doesn’t slow you down—it strengthens your foundation. Healing isn’t just physical; it’s surrender, recalibration, and courage to pause.

Whether your version of a setback is burnout, grief, exhaustion, or plans falling apart, this episode will help you see stillness as medicine, not a weakness. You’ll discover why slowing down is often the exact step forward you didn’t know you needed.

If you’re ready to rebuild from stronger foundations with more alignment, balance, and resilience—without the hustle—Anastasia invites you into her Thrive to Mastery community, where healing and growth go hand-in-hand.

In this refreshing episode, Anastasia explores the deep connection between clearing physical clutter and releasing emotional weight. What starts as a simple pantry clean-out turns into a powerful lesson on how letting go of “stuff”—extra clothes, forgotten items, unfinished conversations, guilt, outdated dreams—creates instant spaciousness in your home, your mind, and your energy.

If you’ve been feeling mentally foggy, overwhelmed, or stuck in loops of “should haves” and “could haves,” this episode will show you why decluttering isn’t just organizing… it’s self-trust, nervous-system relief, and a path back to clarity. Anastasia shares the moment she realized her shelves weren’t the only thing overflowing, and how releasing old items mirrored releasing old emotions she didn’t know she was still carrying.

You’ll walk away with journal prompts, a simple action to lighten your emotional load today, and an invitation to create more space for what truly lights you up.

In this powerful episode, Anastasia shares the story of a woman who almost walked away from her dream career in mental health after experiencing a toxic learning environment that crushed her confidence. What unfolded next is a lesson every woman needs to hear: your power is never lost—it just gets buried under doubt, silence, and other people’s projections.

Listen as Anastasia breaks down how they rebuilt this client’s confidence, restored her sense of purpose, and helped her reclaim her voice, her courage, and her place in a field she was born to be in. If you’ve ever felt “not good enough,” questioned your growth, or dimmed your light to make others comfortable, this episode will remind you exactly who you are.

This is your sign to show up unapologetically, take up space, and trust that your story is your superpower—not a setback.

Upgrades sound glamorous until you're in the thick of them.

Anastasia and her team recently moved everything (courses, workbooks, programs, years of content) from their old platform to a shiny new one. And let's be real: it was chaos. Files got lost, links broke, late nights happened, and there were plenty of moments where she just needed to step away and breathe.

But somewhere in the overwhelm, she caught the bigger picture. This wasn't just about tech. It was about creating a smoother, more aligned experience for her clients and building a stronger foundation for what's next.

Here's the thing: life mirrors business. When you decide to level up, everything that felt solid starts to wobble. The routines that once felt secure suddenly feel restrictive. And that's not a sign to quit. It's confirmation that you're ready for something more.

In this episode, Anastasia gets real about what growth actually looks like when you're in it. Spoiler: it's not polished perfection. It's holding it together while everything recalibrates. It's the messy middle where the magic actually happens, even though no one sees it from the outside.

Anastasia invites you to reflect:

• Where is life currently glitching because it's ready for an upgrade?
• Where can you bring patience and trust into the rebuilding process?
• What's one small action you can take today to move through the messy middle?

Growth doesn't always look amazing in the moment. But when the dust settles, you'll see that messy middle was actually preparing you for ease, grace, and a version of yourself you're proud of.

If you're in the messy middle right now, you're not alone. Visit AnastasiaAdams.com.au to explore ways to work together and move from chaos to clarity.

See you in the next episode. Take care.

This week brought an unexpected moment for Anastasia: her plastics team officially discharged her. No more follow-ups. No more check-ins. Just done.

She didn't see the lump in her throat coming.

For over a year, this team had been her safety net. They'd seen her at her most fragile, unable to eat or speak, communicating on a whiteboard. They'd guided her through recovery, tried new approaches, and became woven into the rhythm of her life. And now? They were saying she didn't need them anymore.

It felt equal parts liberating and terrifying.

In this raw and honest episode, Anastasia shares what it's really like when healing quietly hands the power back to you. When you realize that part of your identity has been wrapped up in being looked after, being vulnerable, being the patient. And now you're the one responsible for the next chapter.

She reflects on a conversation with her GP from years ago, when she needed constant reassurance just to get through each day. That version of her felt so real at the time. But we can outgrow situations, people, and even versions of ourselves we once desperately needed.

This episode asks you to consider:

• Where are you still leaning on something you've already outgrown?
• What would it feel like to truly trust yourself again?
• What area of your life might you be ready to be "discharged" from?

Sometimes the scariest freedom is the one you've already earned.

Keep healing, keep growing. You're exactly where you're meant to be.

In this deeply personal episode, Anastasia opens up about her recent one-year follow-up appointment with her maxillofacial surgeon and the unexpected wave of emotions it brought to the surface. From the moment she walked into the building, familiar sights and smells triggered memories of her diagnosis, surgeries, and recovery—reminding her just how deeply trauma can imprint itself on our bodies and nervous systems.

But something was different this time. As she sat in that waiting room, Anastasia realized she wasn't the same person she was a year ago. She'd quietly healed in ways she hadn't fully acknowledged until that moment.

This episode is an invitation to pause and recognize your own quiet victories, the growth that happens when no one is watching, the strength that shows up in private moments, and the healing that doesn't always come with fanfare. Anastasia challenges you to ask yourself: Where have I healed without celebrating it?

Whether it's a relationship you finally released, anxiety that no longer controls you, or simply being kinder to yourself, your growth deserves to be honored.

In this episode, you'll discover:

- How trauma lives in the body and why healing isn't always linear

- The power of recognizing how far you've come, even in small ways

- Why growth doesn't have to be visible to be valid

- A simple journaling prompt to celebrate your quiet victories

If you're ready to move from surviving to thriving, Anastasia invites you to explore Thrive to Mastery, a supportive community and coaching space for women ready to step into confidence and clarity.
