In this raw, emotional, and wildly honest episode, Anna and Ryan open up about a heartbreaking turn in their TTC (trying to conceive) journey. After a year of hopeful attempts following two vasectomy reversals, they received the news that the second reversal was unsuccessful. The result? Natural conception is no longer an option — and IVF is now the only path forward.

Together, they unpack everything:

• The phone call that changed everything

• Ryan’s feelings of masculinity and grief

• Anna’s rage, heartbreak, and refusal to spiritually bypass her pain

• The unsolicited advice and harmful DMs

• The importance of a rock-solid inner circle

• Why they’re still choosing hope

Anna shares the full spectrum of her emotions with brutal honesty — from devastation to gratitude, from mourning the loss of surprise pregnancy to preparing for IVF with intention and fire. They discuss the clinical facts, their personal decisions, and the emotional whiplash of trying to conceive in the public eye.

This episode is for anyone navigating infertility, IVF, or heartbreak. It’s also for the woman who needs permission to feel it all — anger, fear, gratitude, grief — and still trust in the miracle ahead.

Highlights:

• What semen analysis really measures (and what it means)

• The emotional toll of being “the strong one”

• Why IVF is not a failure, but a fiercely chosen next step

• A call for more men to be part of the fertility conversation

• What supportive community actually looks like in dark moments

• The clarity that comes from sitting in the fire, not avoiding it

Trigger Warning: Fertility struggles, infertility, IVF, grief, and emotional processing.

You know that moment when someone says, “You’ve changed” — and it’s meant as an insult? Yeah. This episode is for that moment. 🔥

This week, Anna is coming in hot with a raw, unfiltered, soul-stirring sermon about the box — the one society, family, friends, religion, culture (even your own partner) try to keep you in. Why? Because it keeps them safe. It keeps you small.

But here’s the truth bomb: That box was never built for the version of you who’s evolving. And it’s time to burn that bitch to the ground.

Anna unpacks: 🔥 The origin of the box and how it’s used to keep you predictable, comfortable, and palatable 🔥 Her own personal rock-bottom moment 15 years ago — from drugs, chaos, and toxicity to wellness, boundaries, and a wellness blog that triggered an entire friendship group 🔥 What happened when Ryan — her king, twin flame, love of her life — started breaking free from his own box (and the wild hate that came with it) 🔥 How to handle judgment, criticism, passive-aggression, and micro-hate when you start to rise 🔥 What to do when it comes from the people closest to you — friends, siblings, parents, even yourself

This is your reminder that you’re not here to be who others expect you to be. You’re here to become exactly who you are meant to be — big, bold, loud, soft, sensual, quiet, wild, expansive, sovereign.

So let them talk. Let them judge. Let them sit comfortably in their own cages. You? You were born to burn the box and rise.

Bookmark this episode. Re-listen every time the criticism comes creeping in. And if no one else is in your corner reminding you of your power — let this be it.

💬 QUOTEABLES:

“They don’t hate the new you. They hate that you no longer fit inside the box they created for you.” “Let them think you’ve changed. Because you have. And thank fuck for that.” “You don’t owe comfort to anyone at the expense of your expansion.” “Don’t crawl back into the box. Light it on fire and dance in the ashes.”

Welcome back, wild ones! This episode is so much more than just another catch-up—Anna is officially recording from the brand new Dreamhaus Studio, a vision turned reality and a true labour of love. You’ll hear the joy, the pride, and the electric energy in her voice as she shares what it means to finally sit in the space she and Ryan built from the ground up.

But this isn’t just about four walls and a mic—it’s about what now lives inside those walls.

In this solo episode, Anna takes us behind the scenes of one of her most expansive business moves yet: bringing TAW Collective home. You’ll hear the full story behind the brand’s origin, the big vision, the slow burn strategy, and how being intentional with growth is the real power play. From 3PL to in-house, Anna gets real about business risks, decisions, pressures, and legacy—especially as a woman running five companies and seven revenue streams.

She unpacks:

• Why she never wanted TAW Collective to go viral (yep, you read that right)

• The genius behind her "companies that pay for companies" strategy

• Lessons from other founders on the danger of scaling too fast

• The beauty of slow, safe, smart growth

• What’s next for TAW Collective

This is a love letter to her community, her craft, and every woman dreaming wildly—and daring to do business differently.

If you’re building something big, this episode will remind you: ✨ Start with the end in mind ✨ Slow is not small ✨ Strategic is sexy ✨ You’re allowed to do it your way
