After more than 60 conversations with founders, executives, creatives, mothers, investors, healers, and entrepreneurs, Anna realized something surprising:

So many women are no longer chasing the version of success they once thought they wanted. Instead, they’re craving something softer. More intentional. More connected. More alive.

In this raw and honest episode, Anna opens up about spending 20 years in tech and entrepreneurship, building companies and communities while quietly navigating burnout, identity shifts, and the growing desire to step away from constant hustle culture.

She also shares the realities of building I Want Her Shoes Podcast — a podcast that has reached the Top 2% globally and surpassed 400,000 downloads in under 18 months, yet still reflects the very real tension many entrepreneurs face between passion, purpose, creativity, and financial sustainability.
