In this honest life update, I open up about my current health journey, the changes in my body since becoming a mum of two and how it’s all woven into my spiritual awakening. I share the lessons that motherhood and marriage continue to teach me, what it’s really looked like navigating my emotions alongside my children’s and the deeper healing unfolding within it all.

This 45 minute guided meditation invites you to return home to your body, your senses and the quiet wisdom within.
You’ll be gently guided through the six senses of sight, sound, smell, taste, touch and your deep intuitive knowing, to clear the noise, soften your edges and reconnect with the truth that already lives inside you.
This experience is for the woman who’s ready to feel again.
To stop living in her head and start trusting the language of her body.
There is intentionally no music throughout this journey only my voice and the natural sounds around you, so you can awaken your senses more deeply and meet yourself in the stillness.
Find a quiet space, lie down or sit up and allow yourself to be guided back to presence.
The magic is already within you, this is simply your permission to feel it.

This is the most raw and unfiltered episode I’ve ever recorded.
No microphone, no setup, just me, my phone and the flood of emotions that needed to move through me.
Rage, grief, tears, frustration and clarity.
I dive into the uncomfortable truth of what happens when we point the finger at others calling them bad, wrong or even evil without realising that the same fear, shame and darkness we condemn also lives inside us. I explore the beliefs many of us were raised with about God, the devil and spiritual battles.And how that conditioning of fear and shame wrecked havoc on my health and my soul.This episode also calls out the way we as parents and as a society, unintentionally suppress our children’s emotions. When they can’t express themselves or feel truly seen and heard, those trapped emotions turn into sickness and pain only to be masked by another prescription. Energy doesn’t disappear, it stays until it’s acknowledged and released.I share my personal journey of untangling the fear and shame rooted in religion, the awakening I’ve been having through Conversations With God and the invitation for you to look deeply into your own mirror.This one is raw. It’s messy. It’s medicine.https://linktr.ee/annavanechten

For years I struggled with bloating, pain and the constant fear of how my body would react to food.
Doctors could only offer surface level solutions, but deep down I knew there had to be another way.
In this episode I’m sharing my personal journey of how I healed Irritable Bowel Syndrome from the inside out, through addressing not just my diet and lifestyle, but the deeper emotional and energetic roots that were keeping me stuck.
If you’ve ever felt frustrated, exhausted or hopeless in your own IBS journey, this episode will show you that healing is possible and it starts with connecting back to your body in a whole new way.

In this powerful and deeply human episode, I sit down with my dad to explore his story, from growing up disconnected from his Māori roots to finding spiritual meaning, healing from trauma and redefining what it means to be a man.
We talk about his childhood, the moment he truly felt connected to his culture and the messages he received about masculinity, leadership and identity.
He opens up about his experiences with addiction, the lessons he's learned along the way and his transition from a single army soldier to a husband, father and social worker.
This episode is raw, real and rich with wisdom.
It’s a conversation about pain, pride, presence, forgiveness and what he would say to the boy he used to be.
Content Warning:
This episode contains discussion of addiction, sexual abuse, violence, self-harm and pornography.
