What if your fear of failure isn’t really about failing at all?
In this episode, I sit down with coach Emily Cheney to talk about confidence, failure, and self-trust. We dig into what really holds us back when we’re afraid to try, how to stop tying our worth to outcomes, and why kindness and patience often create more progress than pressure ever will.
If you’ve been hesitating to set goals, take risks, or start again, this conversation will remind you that confidence grows when you give yourself permission to fail and keep going.

In this quick episode, I’m sharing a fresh reminder that might just shift everything:

If you’ve been waiting to start your thing ... this one’s for you.

In this episode of Rethinking Success with Anne, we’re exploring how to rewire your mind for worthiness, confidence, and expansion through a simple yet powerful practice called brain priming.
I share how I first discovered this concept back in 2021 during a nutrition course — and how one simple line, “I am more than enough,” cracked something open in me. You’ll learn the science behind brain priming, when and how to use it, and why the thoughts you repeat every day are quietly shaping your reality.
You’ll also hear a short guided practice from my Nourished Life Brain Priming Meditation so you can experience the shift for yourself.
If you’ve ever chased health, success, or happiness from the quiet belief that you’re not enough, this episode will help you plant new thoughts — and watch them grow. 🌱

The science behind brain priming + neural pathways
My personal story of worthiness and the mantra that changed everything

You’ll hear:
The difference between kindness and compliance (and why it matters).
A real client story that shows how empowered kindness transforms communication at work.
How to notice when people-pleasing is sneaking in — and shift back into alignment.

In this episode, I’m taking you behind the scenes into a very real season of life — one that’s been full of paradox.
Family dynamics are shifting. My oldest moved out. Teenagers are growing, stretching, and finding themselves. Business is evolving. Emotions are running the full spectrum. And through it all, I’m learning that two things can be true at once: joy and grief, gratitude and overwhelm, peace and frustration.
This is me sharing what I’m living and learning in real time. Because maybe you’re in your own season of paradox right now, and you need to hear that you’re not alone — and that you’re not doing it wrong.
✨ In this episode, I share:
The paradox of family transitions, parenting teens, and running a business.
Why all emotions belong — even the ones we label “bad.”
How the very feelings we try to avoid expand our capacity for joy and gratitude.
An invitation for you to reflect on your own paradoxes with compassion.
So if you’re holding multiple truths and navigating the messy middle — this episode is for you.

The Story: The Identity That Shapes Your Life (Part 2)
Last week we talked about the narrator—the voice in your head that shapes how you experience life. This week, we’re zooming out to look at the story itself.
Your story is the script you’ve been living in—sometimes one you didn’t even write. Old labels from childhood, past failures, cultural messages… they all become the “identity headlines” you’ve carried.
In this episode, I’ll walk you through:
How those early stories get planted and why they stick.
Why old stories can hold you back from even imagining what’s possible.
A simple 3-step process to rewrite your story into one that actually supports the life you want.
How your narrator + your story work together to shape your experience.
Your narrator colors the moment, but your story shapes your life. And you get to choose both.
👉 If you’re listening as this comes out, Nourished Life opens Sept 1. DM me for details.

Why the narrator in your head matters more than the “facts.”
How to know if that voice even belongs to you (or if it’s someone else’s).
A simple 3-step Narrator Swap to shift the commentary and change your experience.
The events of your life are neutral. The narrator makes or breaks your story.
You get to choose who gets the mic.

“It’s Not a Race, It’s a Rhythm”
Someone recently asked me what I actually mean when I say that, especially when it comes to health and fitness… and I realized, this is one of those ideas that touches way more than just workouts and nutrition.
So today, I’m walking you through:
What "rhythm" actually means to me
How I’ve shifted away from timelines and finish lines
And how movement, goals, and even motivation can look different depending on your season of life
Whether you’re chasing a health goal, building a business, parenting, healing, or just figuring things out… this episode is a reminder that you’re not behind. You’re not late. You don’t have to sprint.
You get to find your rhythm and let it evolve.
If you'd like help creating a rhythm that works for you- send me a DM on IG and let's chat @rethinkingsuccesswithanne

In this episode, we unpack the difference between being busy and making real progress.

Feeling constantly tired, even when you technically got enough sleep?
You might not have an energy problem...
You might have a boundary problem.
In this episode, I’m breaking down 4 sneaky areas where women leak energy every single day without even realizing it:
Time commitments
Family dynamics
Food & body autonomy
Tech + 24/7 accessibility
We’ll talk people-pleasing, resentment, and what it really means to set boundaries that protect your peace.
Plus,simple, actionable ways to plug the leaks and reclaim your energy.
Boundaries aren’t mean.
They’re clarity.
And clarity is power.
Press play and let’s talk about it.
If you are currently struggling with boundaries, I would love to help- send me a quick DM and lets chat about what working together could look like.

What does success really mean to you?
Not what you were taught to believe. Not what hustle culture screams at you.
In this episode, I’m breaking down 5 big mindset shifts I’ve had around success.
What it is, what it isn’t, and how I’m choosing to define it on my own terms. Spoiler alert: it’s a whole lot less about “doing more” and a whole lot more about gratitude, growth, and grounded ambition.
We’ll talk about:
Why success isn’t a destination and how chasing the end goal can keep you stuck
The difference between being content and feeling complacent
How The Having changed my relationship with gratitude (and why it’s the secret to attracting more)
What to do when your definition of success evolves (because it will)
Why success is your responsibility but not in the way you think
This one’s part pep talk, part journal entry, and part permission slip to want more without shame, hustle, or self-abandonment.
Let’s rethink success together.
