It’s about the uncomfortable truth behind manifestation that no one really says out loud:

you don’t get what you want… you get what you believe you’re allowed to have.

Anna sits down with Amelia Rose Jackson for a raw, honest conversation about self-worth, money, rest, and the invisible patterns that quietly shape your entire life.

They unpack why so many women feel stuck no matter how much “work” they do — and how childhood conditioning, generational beliefs, and burnout keep you playing small without even realising it.

From money blocks and people-pleasing to the guilt around resting, this episode connects the dots between how you were raised… and what you’re currently allowing.

Because manifestation isn’t about thinking positive.

It’s about feeling safe enough to receive more.

You’ll hear:

• Why “I want it” isn’t enough if your nervous system says no
• How your childhood quietly decided your financial ceiling
• The hidden link between burnout, motherhood, and self-worth
• Why rest is one of the most powerful (and resisted) forms of self-love
• How to start shifting your identity without forcing or faking it

This is the episode that makes you realise…

you were never stuck. You were just conditioned.

Not in a dramatic way. Just that low-level, constant feeling of being a bit… off track. Busy, capable, doing all the things — but still not fully aligned.

In this episode, I’m sharing a simple but honestly quite brutal mindset exercise I experienced at a yoga retreat that completely shifted how I see purpose, goals, and self-trust.

What sounds like a basic journaling task turned into something much deeper — exposing where I was clinging, where I was avoiding, and what actually matters underneath all the noise.

⸻

✨ What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

•Why most people feel stuck and unclear on their purpose

•The powerful 12 goals exercise that forces clarity fast

•Why letting go of goals is harder than setting them

•How to identify your one core purpose (without overthinking it)

•The unexpected way to use a “mentor” exercise to understand yourself better

•Why self-love and self-trust are the foundation of everything (even if you hate that phrase)

⸻

🧠 The Exercise Breakdown:

You’ll be guided through:

1.Writing down 12 goals or desires (no filtering, no editing)

2.Cutting the list down by removing what isn’t actually essential

3.Choosing one core focus that reflects who you truly are

4.Defining the traits of the person who would guide you — and realising… that’s who you’re becoming

⸻

💥 The Real Shift:

This isn’t about becoming your “best self” or fixing your life overnight.

It’s about getting honest.

Because most of us don’t lack motivation —

we’re just spread too thin across things that don’t actually matter to us.

And when you strip it back?

Clarity gets a lot simpler than you think.

⸻

🔥 If You’re Feeling:

•Stuck or directionless

•Overwhelmed with too many goals

•Disconnected from yourself

•Like you “should” know your purpose by now

This episode will hit.

⸻

💬 Come and tell me…

What was the ONE goal you couldn’t cross off?

In this powerful and deeply honest conversation, Anna is joined by a local award winning hairdresser turned life coach Amelia Jackson who shares the raw story behind her personal transformation. From becoming a salon manager at just 19, to navigating marriage, two babies in two years during the COVID lockdowns, crippling postnatal depression, grief, and caring for a father with Alzheimer’s — this episode explores what happens when life piles on faster than you can process it.

At her lowest point, she describes sitting at a routine smear test appointment and breaking down in tears, telling the doctor she couldn’t even remember the last time she’d washed herself. A moment that perfectly captures the invisible burnout so many women experience while caring for everyone else.

What followed was a radical shift.

She rebuilt her life, opened her own salon, stepped into wellness coaching, and began exploring manifestation, personal growth, and the courage it takes to reclaim your identity as a woman beyond motherhood and responsibility.

Together, Anna and her guest Amelia talk honestly about:

• postnatal depression and maternal burnout

• losing yourself in motherhood and caregiving

• grief, stress and emotional overload

• the pressure women feel to keep everything together

• manifestation and personal growth after breakdown

• building a business after hitting rock bottom

• why you can’t force people to step into their potential

This is a conversation about the messy middle of transformation — the moment when you realise something in your life has to change.

If you’ve ever felt exhausted, invisible, overwhelmed, or like the woman you used to be has disappeared, this episode will hit home.

Because sometimes the shift doesn’t come from motivation.

It comes from finally admitting you’re not okay.

In this deeply honest episode of Her Shift, I open up about being diagnosed with adenomyosis, retiring from my long standing makeup career, and the layered hormonal storm of PMDD, perimenopause, chronic stress and burnout that has pushed me beyond functioning.

For years I have spoken about PMDD and trauma. But what happens when PMDD overlaps with perimenopause? What happens when chronic stress compounds hormonal sensitivity? And what happens when your body finally says no?

This episode explores:

• The symptoms and reality of adenomyosis

• How PMDD changes during perimenopause

• The impact of long term stress on women’s hormones

• Why high functioning women crash hard

• Burnout beyond productivity hacks

• Grieving a business identity

• Choosing health over performance

If you are navigating PMDD, perimenopause symptoms, heavy painful periods, chronic fatigue, emotional volatility, or feeling like you cannot keep pushing through anymore — you are not alone.

This conversation is for the women holding everything together while quietly falling apart.

It is not weakness. It is biology, trauma, pressure, and years of endurance colliding.

And sometimes stepping back is the most powerful shift you can make.

PMDD, perimenopause, adenomyosis, hormonal imbalance, chronic stress, women’s burnout, heavy periods, painful periods, hormone sensitivity, trauma and hormones, female burnout recovery.

This is a deep dive into toxic goal setting, why January resolutions so often fail, and how staying stuck isn’t a lack of willpower — it’s usually avoidance dressed up as “reflection.” Anna explores how so many of us spend more energy listing what we don’t want — the job, the relationship, the body, the life — while refusing to take responsibility for building what we do want.

You’ll hear why:

•Talking endlessly about what you hate can become a coping mechanism

•“Manifesting” without action is just procrastination with better branding

•Staying the same is still a choice — even when it feels passive

•January doesn’t need pressure, punishment, or reinvention — it needs honesty

This episode is for anyone who feels stuck in cycles of setting goals, abandoning them, and then blaming themselves — especially women navigating burnout, trauma recovery, PMDD, perimenopause, or emotional exhaustion.

No hustle culture. No vision boards you’ll ignore by February. Just grounded truth, self-responsibility without shame, and a cleaner way to approach change — starting now.

If something in your life keeps repeating, this episode will help you see why — and what choosing differently actually looks like.

This isn’t a polished “wrap-up of the year” episode. It’s an honest conversation about what happens when your hormones, nervous system, and health issues collide with the pressure of Christmas — and why so many women convince themselves they’ll “deal with it in January.”

Anna talks about:

•The impact of ongoing hormonal issues and PMDD

•Why Christmas often worsens symptoms instead of providing relief

•The dangerous myth of “just pushing through” for a few more weeks

•How guilt, obligation, and festive expectations stop women from listening to their bodies

•Why your health doesn’t pause for Christmas — and neither should your self-care

•What real self-care looks like during the holidays (spoiler: it’s not bubble baths or toxic positivity)

If you’ve been telling yourself:

•“I’ll rest after Christmas”

•“I just need to get through this bit”

•“Everyone else is coping — why can’t I?”

…this episode is for you.

This is a permission slip to stop abandoning yourself over the festive period. Your body is talking. Your hormones are talking. And listening now might be the most loving thing you do for yourself this Christmas.

✨ Gentle reminder: you don’t need to break down before you’re allowed to take care of yourself.

If you’re over 35 and your moods, cycle and sanity suddenly feel… unpredictable, this episode is your lifeline.

I break down what happens when PMDD meets perimenopause — the symptoms, the confusion, the emotional fallout, and the identity-level shifts women aren’t warned about.

We cover:

•The key differences between PMDD and perimenopause

•Why your symptoms might be getting worse after 40

•How trauma, stress and sensitivity magnify hormonal chaos

•Why doctors often misdiagnose this overlap

•What actually helps when everything feels “too much”

Questions answered in this episode:

– “Is this PMDD or perimenopause?”

– “Why am I so angry?”

– “Why does my cycle change every month?”

– “Why do I feel like I’m losing myself?”

– “Why is nobody talking about this?”

If the emotional chaos of midlife feels overwhelming — you’re not alone.

This is your invitation to understand your body with compassion, not fear.

If you’ve ever wondered, ‘Is this PMS, PMDD… or am I just losing the plot?’ — this episode is your wake-up call. We’re breaking down the real difference between PMS and PMDD, why they overlap far more than the internet admits, and why minimising women’s struggles helps absolutely no one.

And yes — we’re going there:

PMDD + personal accountability.

When is PMDD a valid explanation for extreme behaviour… and when is it being used as a shield for emotional chaos, cruelty, or untreated trauma?

Anna unpacks:

•What actually differentiates PMS from PMDD (and why many women sit somewhere in the middle).

•Why we shouldn’t minimise anyone’s experience, whether mild or severe — because suffering is suffering.

•How trauma, CPTSD and past emotional neglect can intensify hormonal reactions — making PMS feel like PMDD and PMDD feel like the world ending.

•The uncomfortable truth about “PMDD as diminished responsibility.”

Anna shares her take on when PMDD genuinely dysregulates the nervous system, and when it’s used to excuse repeated, harmful or abusive behaviour.

•Compassion without self-abandonment — how to honour your hormonal reality and uphold boundaries in relationships, parenting, and your sense of self.

•Why self-awareness is the real power tool for any woman navigating a sensitive cycle, perimenopause, or trauma-linked monthly intensities.

This is an honest, nuanced, no-shame conversation for women who want to understand their bodies, their minds, and their patterns — without falling into guilt, blame, or helplessness.

For years, Anna spent every December in survival mode: doing everything for everyone, meeting endless expectations, and collapsing into Boxing Day burnout. She hadn’t enjoyed Christmas in years. Now? Everything’s changed — because she shifted her approach way earlier.

In this practical and honest episode, Anna shares how prepping in November, syncing plans with your menstrual cycle, setting boundaries without guilt, and actually asking for help can transform your entire festive season. This is Christmas without the chaos — led by intention, energy, and women finally stepping out of the default role of “festive project manager.”

You’ll learn how to:

• Stop festive burnout before it starts

• Plan Christmas with your energy, not pressure or panic

• Say no to draining expectations without feeling guilty

• Delegate and ask for help so you’re not doing everything alone

• Replace obligation with joy, calm, and rituals that actually fit your life now

• Create a Christmas you can enjoy, not just survive

This is your permission slip to make December feel lighter, calmer, and genuinely joyful.

Because you deserve a Christmas that doesn’t break you.

💡 Key Takeaways

•November is the new December — start early, and give Future You a calmer month.

•Planning beats panic: prep, delegate, automate, and protect your downtime.

•Boundaries are love: saying no makes room for what matters.

•Energy matters more than effort: your body’s rhythm is a guide, not a barrier.

•You deserve rest and joy: you don’t have to earn them by burning out first.

✨ Reflection Prompt

Pause for a moment and ask yourself:

“How do I want to feel this Christmas?”

Write it down, and let that be your starting point.

For years, Anna was in survival mode — juggling the to-do lists, family expectations, and guilt until she hit Boxing Day burnout. She realised she hadn’t enjoyed Christmas in years. Now, everything’s changed.

In this raw and practical episode of Her Shift, she shares how starting your prep in November can completely transform how December feels — so you get to enjoy the season instead of enduring it.

Anna talks through how she now plans and preps early, aligns tasks with her menstrual cycle, holds firm boundaries, gives herself grace, and actually asks for help — because Christmas isn’t meant to be a solo performance.

You’ll hear how to:

•Stop running on adrenaline until New Year’s Day.

•Get intentional about what kind of Christmas you actually want.

•Plan with energy, not pressure — by syncing with your body’s natural rhythm.

•Say no (without guilt) to draining traditions or expectations.

•Schedule fun first and let everything else fit around that.

•Create new rituals that reflect where you are now — not where you used to be.

Most of my life looked fine on paper — a functioning business, a tidy home, the “strong one” badge polished daily.

But inside, I was breaking every promise I made to myself.

In this episode, I talk about how I stopped self-sabotaging and started rebuilding trust with my future self — the woman I kept letting down.

From packing my metaphorical handbag with what I actually needed, to finally taking responsibility for everything within my control, this is the raw truth about how I got unstuck without a glow-up or guru.

You’ll learn:

•The quiet ways we sabotage ourselves while calling it “coping”

•How to treat your future self like someone you love, not someone you disappoint

•Why responsibility is the most freeing thing you’ll ever take on

•The three tiny shifts that build lasting self-trust

It never was.

In this episode I unpack why learning and healing don’t stick when you’re still living in survival mode — and how trying to “improve” yourself can quietly become another trauma loop.

We talk about:

•The shame spiral of buying courses and ghosting them.

•What actually happens in the brain when you try to learn while dysregulated.

•Why “investing in yourself” can feel like punishment when you don’t feel safe.

•The moment I realised I wasn’t lazy — I was traumatised.

•How to start again, small and guilt-free.

Takeaway:

You don’t need another program to prove your worth. You need peace, space, and a nervous system that believes you’re already enough.

In this episode, Anna unpacks how women like Jilly Cooper, Jackie Collins, and Megan McKenna were publicly shamed, mocked, and dismissed — yet turned pain into power and kept showing up. From “trash-lit” novels that outsold their critics to public scandals that changed laws, these women remind us that shame is often a reflection of the accuser, not the accused.

If you’ve ever been judged for your body, your choices, or your voice — this one’s for you. It’s time to drop the shame that was never yours to carry.

In this episode of Her Shift: Surviving PMDD, Trauma Healing & Women’s Wellness Stories, Anna shares 3 surprising practices that transformed her emotional healing journey:

•The Angel of Death Gratitude Theory — how imagining life as wasted and starting again today unlocked a whole new way of practicing gratitude and coping with PMDD.

•Why saying “I’ll never do that again” (from ironing for others, to fake bathroom trips with friends, to pretending not to like sex in mums’ groups) became a radical act of healing and boundary-setting.

•How reading, listening, and learning new ideas nourished her soul, shifted stagnant thinking, and helped her survive PMDD symptoms and trauma.

This isn’t about fixing yourself — it’s about unlearning martyrdom, questioning the rules you never chose, and reclaiming joy, pleasure, and your own story.

If you’ve ever asked:

•What really helps PMDD recovery beyond treatment?

•How can I cope with PMDD and trauma day to day?

•What women’s healing practices actually work in real life?

…this episode will surprise you.

✨ Listen now and discover how these three unexpected shifts can wake you up to your own power.

If you’ve been told PMDD is “just brain sensitivity to normal hormone levels,” this episode is for you. I question the oversimplified narrative that there’s one cause or one cure for PMDD—and unpack why many of us have sky-high hormones, unique triggers, and different sensitivities (yes, estrogen sensitivity is real, not just progesterone). Using parallels from cancer treatment and mental health, I explore how complex conditions rarely have a single explanation or a one-size-fits-all solution.

We get into:

• PMDD causes: hormone sensitivity vs. hormone levels—can both be true?
• Estrogen sensitivity (my experience) vs. progesterone sensitivity (TikTok’s claim)
• Why PMDD symptoms spike in the luteal phase—and why not everyone fits the same pattern
• How trauma, stress load, sleep debt, and inflammation amplify PMDD
• Why you might feel “anxious/ADHD” only in certain cycle days
• Treatment options: SSRIs, bioidentical progesterone, lifestyle shifts, nervous system tools—what helps whom, and when
• Tracking your cycle to find your unique PMDD triggers (and stop losing another month)

This is an honest, lived-experience breakdown to help you name your patterns, ask better questions, and build a plan that actually supports you—without promising a magic cure.

Who this helps:

• Women searching “Is PMDD caused by hormones or sensitivity?”
• Anyone confused by conflicting PMDD advice on TikTok or Instagram
• Listeners with high estrogen levels or atypical labs who feel unseen
• Partners and friends trying to understand why PMDD looks different person to person

Listener takeaway: Your PMDD isn’t “all in your head,” and it isn’t one thing. It’s a neuroendocrine condition with multiple variables—hormones, nervous system, trauma history, stress, and lifestyle. When you map your pattern, you find your levers for relief

We go deep on how environment design can be a powerful act of self-care for women navigating PMDD, perimenopause/menopause symptoms, and cyclical living. I walk you through how I adapt my space to each phase of my cycle lighting, fabrics, fragrance, routines and why sensory choices (smell, touch, sound) can regulate the nervous system, reduce overwhelm, and boost mood and sleep. I also share the menopausal symptoms I’ve been managing (night sweats, brain fog, anxiety spikes) and the practical home tweaks that help cooling bedding, gentle laundry care, evening wind-down rituals, and visual simplicity to calm the mind.

• How to create a “luxury hotel” feeling at home without overspending
• Sensory self-care: using scent, texture, and sound to feel grounded
• PMDD- and menopause-friendly home setup for sleep, mood, and energy
• Cycle-syncing your environment: luteal comfort, menstrual rest, follicular reset, ovulation hosting/social energy
• My exact toolkit: luxury detergents, cleaning products, candles, perfume layering, soft furnishings, and micro-routines

This is real self-care—no guilt, no perfectionism through PMDD days, perimenopause waves, and the shifts of cyclical living.

In this unfiltered episode of the Her Shift Podcast, Anna ditches the script (and perfectionism) to share a raw, real-time reflection on living with PMDD. Recorded while putting on her makeup—no edits, no masks—Anna opens up about the past year, the lessons from 50 episodes, and the hidden ways she’s been masking her true experience with PMDD without even realising.

She gets real about:

• The emotional toll of masking PMDD symptoms and why authenticity matters in the healing journey
• Her recent visit to the GP, what it was like to finally ask for help, and the unexpected reaction to antidepressants
• The ongoing battle of managing PMDD in everyday life, especially as a solo business owner, mother, and survivor of trauma
• How thankful journaling has been her anchor, offering hope and stability even when everything else felt messy
• The importance of self-compassion, cyclical living, and letting go of the pressure to “perform” healing perfectly

Whether you’re newly diagnosed, deep in the struggle, or just looking for someone who gets it, this episode is a safe space for real talk about PMDD, mental health, and the courage it takes to ask for help.

Timestamps:

• 00:00 – Real talk, no script: why I recorded this episode getting ready
• 04:20 – The hidden cost of masking PMDD (and how I spotted it)
• 12:05 – Going to the GP: finally asking for help, and what happened next

Are you silently struggling with PMDD, trauma, or high-functioning anxiety—even while appearing “successful” on the outside? In this landmark 50th episode of the Her Shift Podcast, host Anna Pearce-Roberts joins forces with PMDD advocate and author Heather Hendrie for a raw, honest conversation about the realities women face when living with Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder.

What You’ll Learn:

• The Truth About PMDD & Trauma: Discover how PMDD symptoms often mask deeper, unresolved trauma, and why so many women minimize their pain because of toxic comparison culture.
• High-Functioning, But Still Hurting: Anna shares her own story of feeling suicidal and emotionally isolated at the peak of her career—shining a light on the hidden mental health struggles of high-achieving women.
• Emotional Gaslighting & Masking Pain: Learn why comparing trauma is a form of emotional gaslighting, and how societal pressure forces women to “keep it together” even when they’re falling apart inside.
• Expert Insights from Heather Hendrie: Heather reveals lessons from her upcoming PMDD book (now available for pre-order), bridging the gap between medical knowledge and the lived experience of hormonal sensitivity, rage, and radical honesty.

If you’ve ever felt alone in your struggle with PMDD, depression, or the pressure to appear “fine,” this episode offers validation, support, and practical resources. Anna and Heather break the silence around women’s mental health, trauma recovery, and the unique challenges faced by those living with hormonal mood disorders.

Highlights:

• Why trauma comparison keeps women stuck in shame and silence
• The hidden link between PMDD, suicidal thoughts, and emotional isolation
• How to recognize and honor your pain—no matter how “privileged” your life may seem
• Real-world strategies for coping with PMDD, high-functioning anxiety, and trauma

Have you ever wondered what you’d do if you were given a second chance at life? In this raw and deeply personal episode, Anna explores the “Angel of Death Theory” and the powerful lessons we can learn from the regrets of the dying. Imagine waking up at 90, facing the end, and then being gifted 45 more years—how would you live differently?

Anna shares her own reflections on mortality, the fragility of life, and why so many of us spend our precious days worrying about “beige shit” that doesn’t matter. Drawing from her journey with PMDD, trauma, and healing, she challenges listeners to break free from fear and actually use the tools for growth and transformation—tools that most people are too scared to try.

This episode is a wake-up call to stop sleepwalking through life, to heal, to love, and to make every moment count. Anna’s honest storytelling and hard-won wisdom will inspire you to rethink your priorities and embrace your one wild and precious life.

Anna shares personal stories of recovering from narcissistic abuse and how the words we hear—and repeat to ourselves—shape our beliefs, nervous system, and self-image. We talk about how inherited shame, family expectations, and the pressure to be “nice” or “small” can leave us internalizing wounds that aren’t ours. You’ll learn why it’s so hard to speak kindly to yourself, how to recognize the “spells” cast by others’ words, and practical ways to rewrite your inner narrative with compassion and truth.

Whether you’re navigating PMDD, healing from toxic relationships, or simply want to break free from old stories, this episode offers gentle, trauma-informed guidance and real talk. Anna invites you to reflect on the sentences that shaped you—and to reclaim your voice, your desires, and your self-worth.

Key Topics:

• The Four Agreements and “Don’t Take Anything Personally”
• Why compliments and criticism are both about the giver, not you
• How words become “spells” that shape our lives
• Breaking cycles of inherited shame and people-pleasing
• PMDD, trauma, and the power of self-compassion
• How to start speaking to yourself with love and truth

Reflection Prompt:

What’s one sentence you heard growing up that still haunts your self-image? What truth could you replace it with today?

Ever wondered how PMDD, your cycle, and your sex life actually connect? You’re not alone. In this episode, Anna gets real about sex, pleasure, and redefining intimacy—beyond the outdated scripts and patriarchal myths we’ve all been handed.

What’s inside:

• Why talking about sex matters for women’s health, healing, and PMDD (and why it’s so much more than just intercourse)
• The Intimacy Umbrella: how play, laughter, cuddling, and even eye contact are powerful forms of connection
• The science of orgasms: how pleasure lowers stress, boosts mood, improves sleep, and can actually help regulate your cycle and ease PMDD symptoms
• Cycle syncing your intimacy: what your body craves in each phase (follicular, ovulation, luteal, menstrual) and how to honour those shifting needs
• Busting patriarchal myths: why your pleasure matters, how to ditch performative sex, and the truth about the “good girl” narrative
• Practical tips for real intimacy at every stage—plus permission to break every rule that doesn’t fit you

You’ll get dry humour, honest stories, and zero judgment—plus a reminder that your body’s wisdom is real, your pleasure is powerful, and you are the prize (not the performance).

What’s inside:

• The “Emperor’s New Clothes” of beauty: why everyone stays quiet—even when it’s all bollocks

• 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.

If you've ever found yourself doom-scrolling instead of creating, bingeing podcasts just to numb out, or feeling like your brain used to work better “before life happened,” this one’s for you. I also share a powerful tool (viacharacter.org) that helped me rediscover my biggest superpower: my love of learning — and how I’m now rebuilding a life that supports it.

This isn’t about hustle. It’s about healing through joy, creativity, curiosity, and self-trust. Your inner golden goose is still in there, babe — let’s revive her.

Listeners Will Learn:

• How trauma, especially childhood grief, can shut down the brain’s learning and creative systems

• What survival mode actually looks like in everyday life (hint: overthinking, multitasking, not feeling safe to rest or play)

• Why creative flow isn’t optional — it’s a nervous system need

• How to identify and nurture your top character strength using the VIA Character test

• The moment I realised my obsession with learning wasn’t random — it was the key to my healing

• A reframe on productivity: you don’t need to do more — you need to feel safe enough to be

I share what helps me feel human (and happy), even in the depths of depression — including the power of a good haircut, a toffee latte, someone else washing my bloody car, and yes, an orgasm (or three). This episode is a love letter to your needs, not just your responsibilities.

Inside:

✨ Why constantly doing everything is killing your spark — not proving your worth

✨ How small pleasures and support systems genuinely support your mental health

✨ What I really want for myself at home, in my work, and in my relationships

✨ The radical idea that maybe, just maybe, you don’t have to earn rest or pleasure

✨ Why it’s time to stop waiting for life to feel better, and start creating it now

This episode is for the woman who’s exhausted but still trying. For the one who’s wondering why she feels disconnected, flat, and resentful — and what it would look like to finally back herself enough to get the help she needs.

Let’s stop killing the golden goose. Let’s start nourishing her.

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.

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.”

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.

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!

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.

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. 🔥

I share personal stories—from dealing with an overly dependent person in my inbox to why Princess Diana’s death unexpectedly pissed me off. We explore how past experiences shape our responses and how hyper-independence, while a strength, can sometimes be a defense mechanism.

Most importantly, I dive into how to recognize and untangle trauma responses, so we can choose ease, trust, and support—without feeling like we’re losing ourselves.

In This Episode, We Cover:

✔️ When frustration is actually a trauma response

✔️ How hyper-independence is often a survival mechanism

✔️ Why indecisiveness, helplessness, and grief can be triggering

✔️ The paradox of loving independence and craving support

✔️ Steps to recognize and reframe extreme reactions

For so long, I thought going all in meant being trapped—whether in a job, a relationship, or a promise. I believed commitment meant suffering through, no matter how much pain it caused. But now, I see that going full NASCAR for women is different. It’s about dropping the mask, speaking your truth, and pursuing your dreams without holding back—but also knowing when to walk away without guilt.

In this episode, I’ll share how my definition of "all in" has shifted, why loyalty doesn’t mean losing yourself, and how you can apply this to your life—whether in love, work, or healing.

🚀 Where in your life have you been doing the old version of full NASCAR? And how can you step into the new one? DM me or share your thoughts—I’d love to hear!

In this episode, I share how terrifying it was to sit down and record this—because irony of ironies, even talking about unattached vulnerability made me want to shape the message in a way that would be received well. But this? This is the real, messy, uncomfortable, liberating truth.

I dive into:

✨ The difference between true vulnerability and sharing with an agenda

✨ How we subtly try to control conversations (even in casual gossip!)

✨ The fear of being fully seen—and why it’s so hard to let go of expectations

✨ How we can step into this superpower more often

If you’ve ever felt like your emotions or words need to be “managed” so people respond the way you want… this episode is for you. 💖

👉 Listen now and let’s explore what happens when we stop performing and start being.

We explore the surprising stats behind social media engagement and how only a tiny fraction of people actually express their opinions online—yet so many of us shape our lives around this minority. If major businesses and tech companies don’t take these opinions seriously in their data, why do we?

I also discuss why I never ask my audience what they want when creating something, the power of standing by your beliefs without feeling the need to apologise, and the irony of how, despite embracing these ideas, I still struggle with the lingering fear of one person—my mother.

If you’re tired of people-pleasing and want to break free from a “Diet Coke” version of life—where you’re playing it safe and watering yourself down—this episode is for you.

Let’s talk about owning your truth, blocking out the noise, and finally living unapologetically.

We explore the idea that PMDD is a branch of depression, a call for healing rather than just a condition to ‘fix.’ Natalie shares how women come to her searching for a cure for PMDD but leave having healed and reconnected with themselves. She explains that it’s not just what happened to us, but what we made it mean that shapes our experience and suffering.

Using a powerful analogy, she compares PMDD to placing our hand on a hot plate—the burn is a warning, not the problem. Instead of blaming our hand for hurting, we should recognise the signal and take action.

Natalie also shares insights from her own PMDD-focused podcast and the transformational work she does in her healing programmes. If you’ve ever felt trapped by PMDD, this conversation is an eye-opener that offers real hope and deeper understanding.

Could it be that PMDD is actually a branch of something deeper? In this conversation, I explore how depression—especially the kind rooted in unresolved trauma—can show up in different ways, from autoimmune diseases to crippling anxiety, and in my case, PMDD. I share my personal journey with depression, how the mental health system once made me feel like a ‘broken’ person, and why simply removing symptoms (like with hysterectomy or chemical menopause) doesn’t always lead to true healing.

If you’ve ever felt like PMDD is just the surface of something bigger, this episode is for you. Let’s talk about getting to the root.

🎧 Listen now and let’s break the cycle together.

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'

I share the kinds of lies I told—about money, work, my marriage, even where I shopped—and how they were rooted in a deep fear of judgment, criticism, and rejection. These weren’t lies to hurt anyone; they were clever coping mechanisms I developed as a child to protect myself.

This episode dives into the messy, complicated truth about lying, why it’s not always black and white, and how shadow work helped me reframe this “flaw” as a response to trauma. If you’ve ever felt shame about not being honest or judged yourself for trying to protect your peace, this episode is for you.

Let’s explore the lies we tell—and the truths we discover when we stop judging ourselves.

I’ll share a personal story about a realisation I had this week, why it hit me so hard, and how I’m rewriting the rules for myself and my kids. We’ll talk about how unhealthy patterns develop, how they show up in our lives, and, most importantly, how to break free from them.

If you’ve ever stayed in a toxic relationship, put up with a draining friendship, or bent over backward for people who don’t deserve it—this one’s for you.

In this episode, we’ll cover:

• How our tolerance for sh*t gets set early on.
• Why bad behaviour isn’t always bad—and why that keeps us stuck.
• The long-term impact of ignoring our feelings and instincts.
• Simple steps to unlearn these patterns and reclaim your boundaries.

It’s time to stop putting up with what doesn’t serve you. Tune in for a raw, relatable chat and practical tips to start shifting your mindset today.

You’ll hear how I’ve shifted my perspective—like finding gratitude even in annoying moments (yes, even for the bin men waking me up with all the packaging!)—and why I’m ditching the traditional Christmas dinner stress for a relaxed, mix-and-match feast of M&S and Iceland treats. I also talk about how listening to my body helped me break free from impossible standards, like trying to replicate my mum’s phenomenal cooking, and why leaning into what you want for Christmas is a game-changer.

Other strategies include grounding yourself with moments of peace (even if it’s locking yourself in the bathroom with a Baileys), scheduling nurturing activities for January, and setting boundaries that protect your time and energy. I share a story about one of my worst Christmases in Australia, where a strict schedule left me tense and overwhelmed—reminding me just how important it is to honour what feels right for you.

Whether you’re managing PMDD or just feeling the weight of the season, this episode is packed with insights to help you not just survive Christmas but truly enjoy it. Let’s make this holiday season one where you thrive.

December is a whirlwind of celebrations, often triggering and exhausting for those of us with PMDD. Instead of plunging into "do mode" in January, I’m giving you permission to hibernate, reset, and focus solely on nurturing your health and well-being. Your only goal for the start of the year? Rest, recharge, and prepare for spring's renewal.

I’ll also share insights from my friend Sam’s powerful program, which highlights how the endless cycle of giving, pushing, and juggling keeps us stuck in survival mode. If doing more was the answer, you’d already have everything you wanted! It’s time to stop spinning plates and start leaning into rest and self-care.

Resolutions? Let’s call them out for what they are: toxic traps that pile on pressure and set us up to fail. Instead, I’ll guide you on how to embrace a gentler, more compassionate approach to your new year—one that aligns with the seasons and supports your healing journey.

Join me for this empowering episode, where we’ll break free from the toxic cycles of “do mode” and learn how to honour our bodies, emotions, and the natural flow of life.

Tune in and give yourself permission to pause—you deserve it.
