24. Moving through FRICTION to create FLOW (why alignment never stops requiring work, and why that's good news for your business growth) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
22. Moving through FRICTION to create FLOW (Why Alignment Will Never Stop Requiring Work, and Why That's the Good News) This is one of those drops that people keep coming back to, and once you hear it you'll know exactly why. Flow Isn't always the Goal. Leaning into the Friction Is. Anna takes her clinical background as a doctor of physical therapy and turns it into the most visceral explanation of alignment you'll ever hear: your posture. The shoulders rounded forward, the jaw clenched, the hip
23. The only way through is THROUGH: What Forrest's ACL journey taught me about surrender (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This one's personal, recorded back in May of 2026 but I'm just sharing it now. Forrest went on to set a school record in the 400m dash, set records at track regionals and again at the State level in his 8th grade track season. I share the story of walking beside my son Forrest through one of the hardest seasons of his life so far — his ACL injury and recovery — and what moving alongside him cracked open in my own capacity to accept, surrender, and keep believing when the door looked like it was
22. Alchemizing Into a Fuller Range: from counting myself "out" to deciding I belonged in one of the most iconic masterminds in the coaching industry (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This one wasn't recorded in a studio. It was recorded on a walk, leaves crunching underfoot, in the middle of an actual identity shift happening in real time. I share the unfiltered story of being invited into a high-level mastermind by a mentor who saw something in me before I could fully see it in myself — and the forty-eight hours that followed. The doubt. The "I haven't earned this yet, I'm not worthy" story. The old identity trying to keep its grip. And the physical, embodied moment (tears,
21. Medicine + the Mountain (What 25 years of poetry has taught me about letting go of performing) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Medicine + the Mountain: What 25 Years of Poetry Taught Me About Letting Go of Performing Come with me into one of the most tender drops I've ever recorded. I open up about my Achilles heel, the performative mode I slip into without noticing, the trying-too-hard that's actually what keeps me stuck, and how finding my college poetry journal, and 25 years of poems I've written to my husband Johnny, cracked something open I didn't know was still waiting. Inside this one, you'll hear: The honest con
20. The Invisible Contract: Would You Rather Be Right, or Rich? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This episode is Anna live, mid-expansion, catching herself in real time. She walks you through the concept of invisible contracts — the silent agreements with yourself that created your current identity, your current safety, your current results, and are now the exact thing capping your next level. Not necessarily big traumatic stuff. The quiet ones. "That's not who I am." "I don't need that." "Artists don't do that." Inside this one, you'll hear: The question that dissolves resistance instantly
