  • Safe Place for Your Nervous System

    Anna’s thoughtful conversations reveal that there is not a one-size-fits-all approach to healing, living, creating, or being. She gently explores the nuances that differentiate but ultimately bind us together. She is a gift!

  • This podcast has helped teach me to be braver and cultivate even more self trust!

    Host Anna is a thoughtful interviewer because she’s a deep listener and genuinely curious. I also relate to her that she used to work in the entertainment industry like I did and is now a mind-body coach who helps people like me feel safer being truly visible. So important especially for those of us who want to do bigger things in the world. Thanks Anna!

  • Soothing and spacious

    This podcast carries the feeling of slowing down, stripping away and relaxing into truth. There is no one like Anna to help you experience yourself, life, healing and growth through the lens of your own body rather than a bunch of good ideas. Her conversations are soothing and spacious, calling you back to your own body’s wisdom again and again.

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ep 142 The Emotional Life of Money with Katy Chen Mazzara
Q: How do you help your clients to work through these stories?
She starts with recognizing and tracing the belief, then helps clients choose whether to keep or release it. Depending on the client, she may use inner-child work, Internal Family Systems, and somatic practices to build a sense of safety.
Ep 142 The Emotional Life of Money with Katy Chen Mazzara
Q: What are the most common money stories, money challenges, or money blocks that you see in the clients who are coming to you?
Mazzara says childhood experiences and absorbed financial stress often shape money beliefs. Among creatives, a common belief is that creative work cannot pay, which can undermine negotiation and self-advocacy.
Ep 141 Unlearning Pain, Trusting Your Body & Finding Your Authentic Self with Dr. Howard Schubiner
Q: If a listener is curious but overwhelmed about opening this door, what words of encouragement would you offer?
You're not alone; many people experience symptoms and uncertainty, and the process is about gradual self-trust, checking in with yourself, and using trusted resources to learn at your own pace.
Ep 139 How to Honor Your Capacity Without Shrinking Your Life with Nikita Williams
Q: What words of encouragement do you have to listeners who are considering starting a business while managing chronic symptoms, or who feel stuck in an unsustainable setup?
Choose spaces and approaches that align with your values and situation; your unique pace matters, and there are people and models that can support you without forcing you into a one-size-fits-all path. Don't let others' benchmarks define your journey—trust your intuition, set boundaries, and seek out communities that honor your rhythm.
Ep 136 Cosmic Goodness with Cassidy Gard: Reinvention, Owning Your Story & Finding the Light in the Shadow
Q: Can you share a little bit with us about who you are, whatever version of that you want to share, and what feels most important to you in life at this moment?
Cassidy describes a life built on storytelling across journalism, motherhood, and personal healing, moving from mass media work toward writing a memoir that reflects her trauma, sobriety, and reinvention; the core message is about owning one's lived experience and turning shadows into a pathway to light.
