This episode is raw, unscripted, wildly honest and one of the most important conversations Anna has ever recorded.

In this deeply intimate follow-on episode, Anna puts her partner Ryan on the spot with 9 revealing questions every woman should ask her partner before having a baby - especially about postpartum support, emotional safety, boundaries, intimacy, and mental health.

Ryan hasn’t seen the questions. There’s no prep. No polish. Just real answers about what it actually looks like to support a woman through birth, postpartum recovery, and the identity shift of becoming parents.

This is not about parenting styles.

WHAT THIS EPISODE IS REALLY ABOUT

Most couples talk about how they’ll raise a child.

This episode opens the conversations many women wish they’d had before pregnancy and when they still had choices.

Together, Anna and Ryan explore:

This conversation is vulnerable, funny, confronting, and deeply grounding.

THE 9 QUESTIONS COVERED

These are the questions Anna believes every woman should ask her partner before having a baby:

These questions change everything.

FINAL NOTE FROM ANNA

This conversation isn’t about doing it “right.”

Today’s episode is the one you’ve been feeling in your bones.

I brought astrologer Luke Balcke back into the studio, my personal astrologer of three years - because what is happening in 2026 is unlike anything we’ve lived through in our lifetime.

Luke doesn’t deal in fluff.

And the message is clear:

A once-in-forever astrological event is coming.

This episode is not fear-based.

Together we unpack:

What the Saturn–Neptune conjunction at 0° Aries actually is

Why this point is literally called “The World Point” in astrology

What historical events have happened under this same conjunction

Why 2025 was “the trailer,” and 2026 is “the movie”

The potential collapse of financial, political, religious and health systems

How to prepare yourself and your family without spiralling into fear

Why so many people are turning to religion and why others are waking up

How to stay sovereign, centred and grounded in uncertainty

And why your soul chose to be here, now, for this exact timeline

This episode is big.

Why astrology is not “predictive magic” - it’s the language of cycles

How religion demonised astrology to keep power

The transition from the Age of Pisces (belief) to the Age of Aquarius (knowing)

Why the 2026 Saturn–Neptune conjunction is unprecedented in human history

The Berlin Wall, civil rights, world wars and their astrological signatures

What February–March 2026 is likely to trigger globally

Economic bubbles, AI, currency collapse, political upheaval

How to prepare without panic: food, cash flow, community, consciousness

Why 2008–2023 babies (Pluto in Capricorn kids) are the rebuilders of society

Why fear is useless, and personal leadership is everything

This is the kind of conversation that ripples.

In this follow-up to one of the most powerful episodes of Anything Goes, Anna welcomes back domestic violence advocate Michelle Faye for another raw and unfiltered conversation that every woman needs to hear.

This time, they go deep into the court system, systems abuse, coercive control, and the real reasons so many women don’t report. Anna opens up about her own court experience - from safe rooms and police prosecutors to the moment her perpetrator’s lawyer finally said, “It’s over.”

Together, Anna and Michelle pull back the curtain on what happens after you leave - the legal trauma, the “invisible prison,” the shame, and the strength it takes to keep going.

Trigger warning: this episode contains discussion of domestic violence, coercive control, physical assault, and trauma.

Why the court system can be another form of abuse

How perpetrators manipulate hearings, delays, and legal loopholes

What actually happens when you apply for a protection order

The difference between police vs. private DV applications

What “systems abuse” really means

The truth about coercive control and how to identify it

Why women don’t “just leave” (and why asking that question can hurt)

Real stories of survival, safety planning, and reclaiming power

How to support a friend in a DV relationship - safely and without judgment

This episode discusses domestic violence, physical and emotional abuse, and suicidal thoughts.

Domestic violence advocacy • Systems abuse • Coercive control • Empowerment • Survivor psychology • Trauma healing • Justice reform

This week Anna sits down with domestic-violence advocate Michelle Faye for one of the most vulnerable conversations she’s ever recorded. They speak openly about coercive control, survival psychology, and the “window” where women can finally leave. Together they unpack guilt, trauma bonding, and healing after abuse - so that no woman feels alone or ashamed for what she endured.

Together they unpack:

What coercive control actually looks like (when it’s not physical yet)

How abuse slowly erodes autonomy through “a thousand paper cuts”

Why women can’t “just leave” until they physically and psychologically can

How trauma bonding and love-bombing create the illusion of safety

The systemic failures that keep women in danger – and what must change

Anna also shares, for the first time in full, her own story of survival and escape - how she planned her exit, the moment she thought she would die, and the truth about what it takes to leave a narcissistic and violent partner. This conversation is raw, confronting, and deeply validating for any woman who has ever asked herself, “Why didn’t I just leave?”

This episode discusses domestic violence, physical and emotional abuse, and suicidal thoughts.

We promised you the real talk, and here it is. In this heart-on-sleeve update, Anna and Ryan walk through their February IVF start date, why they moved it from January, and the exact day-by-day protocol (hello, three shots in the morning). They unpack the emotional whiplash of being “pregnant until proven otherwise,” why they’re doing a fresh transfer (no genetic testing), and the surprisingly heavy consent decisions (what happens to embryos, and what if one partner passes).

They also share the ‘why’ behind going public: community, transparency, and refusing to gaslight their audience for three months while silently waiting. If you or a friend are IVF-curious (or supporting someone who is), this is the episode to save.

Why January didn’t align (retreat energy vs. implantation)

The full IVF timeline: period day 1 → scans → stim injections → trigger → retrieval → day-5 fresh transfer → HCG test

Choosing quality over quantity (AMH, follicle growth, embryo grading)

The consent-form realities nobody talks about

Sharing publicly: boundaries, privacy, community support

How we’re designing February for rest, ritual, and regulation

Fresh from a whirlwind week (and minutes before going live to 1,200+ for her masterclass), Anna drops a solo episode distilling the real lesson from her Asset Class Series. After interviewing heavy hitters across property, shares, Bitcoin/crypto, Dubai real estate, and fractional hotel ownership, one truth stood out: it matters less which asset you choose and more that you choose one that aligns with your values - and then back it with conviction.

Anna unpacks:

Why smart, credible experts can totally disagree - and all be “right” in their lane.

How to stay grounded when opinions are loud, numbers are noisy, and inflation is real.

The mindset shift that turns confusion into strategy: know, trust, back, and love your asset.

Why she personally leans into shares (incl. micro-investing) + Bitcoin, and why your answer might be different (and that’s okay).

This is your sign to ditch paralysis, pick your lane, and start compounding.

Conviction over consensus: Every expert can dismantle another asset class. Your job is to pick the one that aligns with your values, risk tolerance, and goals.

Beat inflation or get eaten by it: Cash at 2% won’t outpace a real-world ~10% squeeze you feel at the checkout. Investing is no longer optional.

Depth before breadth: Nail one asset class first. Then diversify within it or add a second.

Self-leadership = portfolio leadership: Know yourself AND know your asset. Trust yourself AND back your asset.

This week, Anna sits down with Tony Swantek - a self-made entrepreneur, blockchain pioneer, and the visionary behind R-Link, the blockchain-powered video conferencing platform set to rival Zoom.

In this conversation, they dive deep into the future of decentralisation, digital sovereignty, and how blockchain is rewriting the rules for how we connect, work, and build wealth.

Tony shares his story of building billion-dollar companies, meeting the creators of Gala Games, and discovering how blockchain could bank the unbankable and return power to everyday people. Together, Anna and Tony unpack the R-Link ecosystem - how users can own the platforms they use, get rewarded with tokens, and become early pioneers in a new Web3 economy.

This episode is equal parts visionary and practical - perfect for anyone curious about where the internet is heading, how decentralisation changes business forever, and how to start taking part in the new digital revolution.

“Blockchain isn’t just a buzzword — it’s the next evolution of ownership, reward, and freedom.” - Tony Swantek

“Everything’s a risk - but so is dating a dickhead. I’d rather take mine on the blockchain.” - Anna Rose

This week, I sit down with one of the most grounded, humble men I’ve ever met, Matt Fraser - entrepreneur, e-commerce success story, and founder of The Crypto Collective.

Matt’s journey reads like a movie: from being $1M in debt, driving Uber at night to keep his Hungry Jack’s franchise alive… to scaling a medical product to $70 million in global e-commerce sales, paying off every cent, and then selling everything to go all-in on Bitcoin.

We talk about resilience, marriage, faith, failure, and how Matt and his wife Paula built an empire from nothing - together. This episode is a masterclass in grit, conviction, and sovereignty: how to lose it all, rebuild, and then bet big on freedom.

“We had something, we lost everything, and we still would’ve been okay — because we had each other.” — Matt Fraser

How Matt went from a broke Hungry Jack’s owner to $70M in e-commerce sales.

Why documenting his Amazon journey changed his life.

The sliding-door moment that made him an overnight success (after 10 years of struggle).

How resilience and alignment in marriage became his real superpower.

Why he’s selling everything — cars, properties, even his business — to go all-in on Bitcoin.

What The Crypto Collective is and how it’s helping everyday Aussies take control of their wealth.

How Anna and Matt see Bitcoin as more than an investment — it’s sovereignty.

This week I share the mic with my favourite human - Mr. Boss Man himself, Ryan Petricevich. After a run of heavy, high-level money episodes, we drop into a real-world convo about providing, saving, and building a life from the ground up with kids, a normal job, and zero fluff.

We talk early parenthood (three kids by 24), paying off a mortgage, setting up trust funds, and the mindset that keeps you moving forward when life is… life-ing. It’s practical, honest, and full of the kind of steady wisdom most of us actually need.

The “average Aussie” game plan: how Ryan saved, provided, and still got ahead

$10 a week → long-term wealth: set-and-forget saving, then upgrading to simple index investing

Live within your means (for real): resisting the pressure to “look rich”

Kids + money: why we’ll open index funds (not savings accounts) for future kids

Inflation 101: why cash alone loses power and what to do instead

Sacrifice & seasons: giving up rugby to provide, and how chosen sacrifice compounds

Partnership polarity: how we make big decisions (strategy + vulnerability > nagging)

Risk sanity checks: diversify, invest only what you can afford to lose, sleep-at-night rule

Start now, with what you have. $10/week beats $0/week—consistency compounds.

Automate it. Set-and-forget is your best friend if life is busy.

Index funds > idle cash for long-term goals (inflation is a tax on stillness).

Don’t buy to impress. Live within your means; redirect flex money into assets.

Couples: begin with the end in mind. Share the vision, then co-create the plan.

If you’re losing sleep, you’re over-leveraged. Dial risk down until you aren’t.

As always - stay wild. 

Solo mic today, fam. I walk you through a real-time lesson from this morning: $30k gone from one of our leveraged trades. No tears, no blame, just perspective and process. This episode isn’t about charts; it’s about psychology: risk appetite, sovereignty, responsibility… and why the most valuable asset you’ll ever own isn’t money - it’s time.

I break down exactly what happened, the mindset that kept us calm, the mistakes to avoid, and the three rules I live by for any investment (including relationships, health, and work).

Not financial advice - just lived experience and frameworks you can apply.

What You’ll Learn - The Event: A near “black swan” move that liquidated positions across the market (and ours). - Mindset Over Mayhem: How we stayed calm and decided our next move within minutes.

The 3 Rules of Investing (my way): - Never invest more than you’re willing (and able) to lose. - Do your own research & understand the mechanism (especially with leverage). - Think long-term, even when short-term pain hits. - Risk ≠ Reckless: Differentiating diversified, high-risk slices from core holds (shares, BTC, ETH).

Perspective Reset: The losses that truly hurt vs. the ones that don’t—and why.

The Ultimate Asset: Why time triggers me more than money and how to invest it wisely.

Resources & Next Steps - Re-listen and write your 3 personal rules for money, health, relationships, and work. - Audit your positions: Would losing this wreck me? If yes, resize. - If you’re new: start with micro-investing / DCA, no leverage.
