In this juicy, unfiltered episode, Anna sits down with writer and creative powerhouse Heather Hendrie, one of the bold voices behind the bestselling Amazon anthology Awfully Hilarious: Period Pieces. Together, they dive deep (and laugh hard) into the wild, raw, and often ridiculous world of periods — from first bleeds to full-blown meltdowns and everything in between.

Expect an honest and vulnerable convo about PMDD, cycle chaos, and why our culture’s period shame needs a long-overdue eviction notice. Heather shares the inspiration behind her contribution to Period Pieces, and the duo chat about the messy, magical cycles that shape us — the Maiden, Mother, Crone and the glorious chaos in between.

This is the episode Her Shift was made for — fierce, funny, and full of real talk. If you’ve ever cried over a tampon ad, raged at your hormones, or laughed your knickers off about a leak in public, this one’s for you.

Listen in, laugh loud, and bleed proud.

In this raw and real episode, Anna unpacks the unexpected side effects of healing — the panic, the sabotage, and the sheer fear that can come when you’re finally moving out of survival mode. She shares how recent shifts in her life have triggered her subconscious to freak out and slam the brakes, leading to anxiety, exhaustion, and even physical illness.

But instead of backing down, Anna dives into the idea that our subconscious doesn’t always see healing as safe — and how sometimes, we have to stop whispering and start fighting back with fierce energy and intention. She explores the choices we face when the fear kicks in — do we collapse into bed rot, or do we rise and keep going?

She also reimagines the myth of Icarus — not as a cautionary tale of flying too high, but as a story of what it really means to live, to choose flight, even when the wiring in our minds says it’s too dangerous.

This is your reminder: don’t fear the shift. Don’t fear the life you actually want.

I hope you enjoyed this episode and that recovery and change is possible.

I created Her Shift because I know what it’s like to want more—more confidence, more joy, more purpose, and just... more life. I shifted from a very unfulfilled & numb shell to whole, connected & happy (& successful). Quite literally from surviving to thriving... that's 'The Shift'

This week, I’m sharing a huge personal breakthrough: discovering the power of cyclical living.

Until recently, I believed I was just “bad” at the 9-5 life – like I’d somehow failed at what everyone else seemed to manage. But after diving into Kate Northrup’s work, I’ve realised the traditional workweek was literally built for men’s 24-hour cycles – not women’s 28-day cycles.

For years, I only tracked my period so I could brace myself for PMS – but now I’m finally understanding the why behind my energy shifts, brain fog, burnout, and PMDD symptoms.

And guess what? Ignoring my body and pushing through with guilt and shame was actually making it worse.

I also touch on the energy of the moon and how it connects to our cycles, and share a brilliant app I’ve found called Stardust (seriously, it’s a game-changer – plus your partner can track your cycle too!). https://stardust.app/

This is a whole new way of living for me, and I’m so excited to share this discovery with you. Let’s start honouring ourselves instead of fighting our natural rhythms.

“If this episode hit home for you, I would love to hear about it. Send me a DM and let’s chat about your experience with cyclical living – or even if you’re just starting to track your cycle for the first time!

And if you found this episode helpful, it would mean the world if you screenshot it and share it to your stories, and don’t forget to tag me so I can cheer you on! Let’s rise together, one cycle at a time.”
