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 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.”

In this juicy episode, I dive deep into the real reason so many women struggle to take care of themselves without guilt or shame. I share my own self-care evolution—from getting my nails done and wearing perfume to reading audiobooks, swimming, and having a cuppa in the bath. Yep, self-care isn’t just bubble baths (though they’re bloody lovely)—it’s also about doing what you enjoy and making your life easier with things like automation, online shopping, and Pinterest inspo.

We explore why genuine self-care makes you stand out (because let’s be honest, most people don’t do it consistently), why shame is a sneaky little gremlin in the mix, and how to build self-care into your routine in a way that actually works. I also give you a heads-up: as you grow and start showing up differently, people might have things to say—but don’t let that stop you.

Come for the practical tips, stay for the soul-nourishing pep talk.

In this episode, I dive into the one thing that can help us break free from suffering for good. The truth is, pain is a natural part of life—but suffering? That’s a choice. I explore how trying to control the actions of others or predicting future pain only keeps us stuck in survival mode, prolonging the hurt instead of moving through it.

Drawing on personal experiences—like being dumped as a teenager—I discuss how accepting pain as it comes, rather than trying to manipulate or resist it, actually allows us to heal faster. When we stop focusing on controlling others to avoid hurt or trying to prevent the inevitable, we stop living in suffering mode and start living fully.

By embracing the idea that pain doesn’t last forever, we open up space for growth, resilience, and freedom. Tune in to hear how you can stop wasting energy on suffering and start using it to live your best life!

In this episode, we dive deep into the idea that not all emotions are useful or natural—some, like shame and hate, are more like processed junk food, designed by society to keep us small, controlled, and unwell. We explore how shame shows up in our lives, how it’s linked to abuse, and why simply recognising it is the first step to breaking free.

I also discuss other “junk food” emotions—like toxic positivity, fake kindness, self-sacrifice, sentimentality, and the “just get over it” culture—that might seem harmless (or even helpful) but are actually keeping us stuck. Instead of force-feeding ourselves these emotions, what if we learned to sit with them, call them out, and shift to something real?

If you’ve ever felt suffocated by shame or exhausted from emotional manipulation, this episode will help you start unpacking it all. Let’s get real about the emotions we’ve been conditioned to feel—and start choosing something better.

For years, I fought like hell to hide my PMDD, anxiety, and depression. Every single month, I convinced myself it was just a blip, that it wouldn’t happen again. And yet, it always did. The shame was so deep that I completely disconnected from my own reality—avoiding forums, ignoring conversations about mental health, and stuffing down any sign of struggle. I became so good at pretending I was okay that I actually started to believe the lie myself.

In this episode, I share the raw truth about what it was like to secretly battle PMDD while maintaining a perfect exterior—especially in high-pressure situations like doing bridal makeup. I open up about why I felt unsafe when people started talking about PMDD more openly (even recently with Vicky Pattison) and the moment I finally had to face myself.

If you’ve ever convinced yourself that “it’s not that bad” or felt ashamed to admit what’s really going on, this episode is for you. You’re not broken, you’re not alone, and you don’t have to keep hiding.

Ever noticed how actors become their roles, carrying a presence that makes them unmistakably the main character? Or how some people walk into a room and instantly command attention—without even trying? In this episode, we’re diving into Main Character Energy and how you can step into confidence, rather than waiting for it to magically appear.

Drawing from my own experience of effortlessly landing coveted jobs (like a Qantas air hostess position out of 15,000 applicants!), I break down the mindset shifts that make all the difference—how I walked into interviews assuming the job was already mine, how I controlled the energy of the room, and how you can apply this same "job interview energy" to every area of your life.

You'll learn:

✨ Why actors need therapy after heavy roles—and what that teaches us about our own energy shifts

✨ The red carpet effect—how celebrities curate their presence, and how you can do the same

✨ The exact confidence tricks I used to ace interviews (that you can use in social events, networking, dating, and beyond!)

✨ The secret to walking into any situation thinking “Do I like them?” instead of “Do they like me?”

✨ How to act like you already have it—because when you do, the world starts treating you like you do

Confidence isn’t something you wait for—it’s something you step into. Ready to own your space? Let’s go. 🔥
