It is such a joy to be back with you after a month’s hiatus. This month, I’m going to dare to do something a little different—my vision is to take you through the Shine Retreat by recording my thoughts during the retreat. Think of it as an “audio journal” of my journey through a new and exciting challenge. I am excited to have you guys on this journey with me.

Hello, everyone! August has been a month full of Transition and Change. Oftentimes, we go through transitions with our eyes outward. It is so easy in these vulnerable seasons to tend to compare ourselves to others. The comparison is a dangerous beast, and it often leads to despair. So how can we combat that tendency to compare and despair?

Welcome to another week of the Her Life Unscripted podcast. We are a community of women doing amazing things to show up and change the world. This month has been all about transition and change for Ana, and this week was no exception! During times of rapid change, it is easy to feel beaten and broken down. How can we show up when we feel broken? From where can we draw our strength?

Welcome back, everyone! August is a month that brings forth change and transition, for better or for worse. Moms, in particular, know this feeling well, because August means back to school, back to routine, and back into the same patterns that might have left you feeling “stuck” in the past. Ana learned this week through life’s very unscripted moments that feeling “stuck” really sucks, but it doesn’t necessarily have to be a negative thing. Feeling out of control is just that, a feeling. The beauty of our emotions is that they inform us about our environment. Life has slowed you down and forced you to pause, so use that time! It is in those moments of stillness that we can begin to understand our feelings.

During this month of August, we are doing a series on choice, transition, and change. This topic is, as always, personally relevant to Anna and her current life situation. Most people tend to show up in the world in a way that is pulled together, with the right answer and a positive attitude, but Anna reminds you that this podcast is really about the exact opposite. It's about showing up just as you are, raw, unfiltered and unscripted. Listen in to find out more. Anna would love to say that she always shows up in a composed manner, however, the truth of it is that she can't. When she's in the throes of trying to figure something out, she has to show up being honest and transparent, because that's the whole point of this project. It is really all about coming together and owning the parts of yourself that are hurting and fragmented and being able to put words to that and to know that you're not alone.  When things happen to you, that are totally out of our control, you have to go through a period of putting wo

With the Shine Retreat fast approaching, and the promise of kiddos starting school in the fall, Anna realizes that seasons of transition and change are about to begin. It can be startling to know that life might be passing you by. Instead of facing change and transition, we tend to let it overcome and overwhelm us. When life seems to hand us more than we can manage, do we really have a choice to thrive? Anna’s conclusion? A resounding YES! We can make ourselves open to change and open to the lessons that life’s transitions can teach us. Is this change a positive one, or a negative one. Perhaps it’s all about how you let it define you. Let’s face it: you might be in a place right now you never wanted to be. Instead of feeling despair, be grateful to know that you have been presented with a choice to live wholeheartedly. Join Anna this week as she dives into a new month of embracing change and triumphing over transition! Her Life Unscripted Facebook Page, give it a LIKE! https://www.facebook.com/herlifeunscript

As we wrap up our session of Freedom, it is time to settle ourselves in for some Real Talk. This week, Anna tackles the very real weight of comparison that seems to sneak in unnoticed. Anna realized that we learn to compare. It’s not an innate reaction. Now is our chance to learn how to stop comparing, or at least lessen its sting.

In the spirit of the 4th of July, this month on Her Life Unscripted is all about Freedom. This week, Ana dives deep into what it means to be freed from expectations. Yes, those creeping, uninvited guests who wrinkle relationships and ruin plans. Life is full of unmet expectations, whether that’s for a dreamy office space, your idea of a perfect vacation, or even what you expect from a relationship. During this season of celebration, it is tempting to be let down when our expectations aren’t met. So how do we combat that? Links: Her Life Unscripted Facebook Page, give it a LIKE!

How often have you planned something, only to have your plans thwarted by some unforeseen occurrence? Anna points out that we're constantly learning lessons and the universe is constantly showing us that we're really not in control. This can be a hard lesson for some people. It was really hard for Anna when she found out that she has to move her office from the place that she's been really happy and where she managed to create the kind of sanctuary that makes both her and her clients feel safe and held. Through this, she discovered, contrary to what she used to think, that she really does not enjoy the change in her life. Yet, change is inevitable. Anna finds it almost incredible to see how the topics that she chooses for each month really tend to align with what's going on in her life. So, still talking about freedom, in the month of July, Anna is finding freedom from the expectation that she's going to change. Listen in to find out what she has to say.

Are you weighed down by either shame, guilt or possibly even both? Would you like overcome this and really get to the bottom of it and understand where these feelings come from in the first place? Then listen in, because of this month, inspired by Independence Day on the 4th of July, Anna will be talking about freedom! She has decided to focus on releasing yourself and achieving freedom from the things that are tying or weighing you down. Anna is really excited to dive in and talk about the yucky, gunky stuff of guilt and shame. Join her today, to find out more. Although Anna has already done a number of shows looking at what guilt and shame are, she would really like to look at these things from a different angle, today. She wants to look at what creates shame and how people get stuck in that place, to begin with. As Anna has shared with Brene Brown's work on previous shows, there is really so much about the shame that doesn't want to be spoken about and keeps people small and isolated. It also tends to give

It is the last week of June, and everyone is ready to lean into the summer season.

Anna shares how the “Her Life Unscripted” journey has truly been humbling. Because of the support from you, the listeners, Anna can now see that this life has a certain set of universal struggles. When you reach out via email, Facebook, and other social media, it demonstrates that we are really not alone, and that thought is equal parts humbling and comforting. We All carry the same things in our hearts, and the power of podcasting is the ability to share those deep struggles. This year of podcasting let Anna see outside herself, and what a powerful teacher it is! Listen, learn in, and be a part of something BIG. Her Life Unscripted Facebook Page, give it a LIKE!

It’s June! School is out (or nearly out) and the warmth and fun of summer are calling. The month of June is one for celebrating the 1 year Anniversary of the Podcast, and each week Anna will be sharing insights and lessons learned from a year of Podcasting. This journey has been a juxtaposition of fun and excitement and super hard work. Over time, it was easy to see that publishing a podcast could not be a one woman show. Anna needed to ask for help. But here’s the thing: vulnerability is hard. Podcasting may open the door to true vulnerability and connection, but stepping through it is another matter entirely. Listen as Anna shares stories about how she has grown through the hard bits of life, and how that has led to this podcast’s greatest gift: vulnerability is the strength!   Her Life Unscripted Facebook Page, give it a LIKE!

If you'd like to find out about how the way that you're affecting the results you get in your life, you're really going to enjoy today's show, with Kelly Sheets. About two years ago, when Anna started doing podcasts, she had some really amazing guests, however, she found that sound quality of the first few recordings was horrible, so she didn't put them out there. One of the people that she had interviewed was Kelly and when Anna reached out to her and explained what had happened, Kelly graciously offered to return to the show when Anna felt ready. So, Anna feels really honored to have Kelly back on the show today. She stresses the importance of looking at her topic for this month, Creating A Soft Landing, from all sides. She explains that a soft landing is a place that we go and it's also a place that we are. Listen in and find out how Kelly interprets a soft landing and how that connects with how she works with women on being, to get the results they want. Kelly is awesome and she has really great energy. S

Is your home your haven? Or would you really love to create a space for yourself to feel warm and safe within your home? Remya Warrior, today's guest, was introduced to Anna by a mutual friend. With this month's theme being Creating Soft Landings, Anna instantly wanted to have her on the show, to share her story, her work and her passion with you. Listen in today as Remya talks about giving yourself permission and creating a sanctuary for yourself within your home, as a soft landing space and as a way to feel safe.

“May you rest in the space of “good enough.” You are good. You are enough.  You are sufficient in this moment, just as you are. You deserve goodness and kindness and hope and help.  This is my wish for you.” ~ Nanea Hoffman It’s a new month and a new theme! We are talking about Creating a Soft Landing. Now, I use this phrase all the time - in my life, in my practice, and on the show. So, I wanted to take the month to really expound on what that means and also to put some meaning to the phrase, so you can be conscious of it in your life.
