The Anything Goes Podcast

As I am in the depths of launching my new company and entering into an entirely new, disruptive and exciting industry, being crypto / NFT's the digital space, I knew it was time to sit down and record my 16 year journey into Entrepreneurship to date.  Many (if not most) don't know I actually launched my very first business at 18 taking out a business loan that was 50% of my yearly income at the time which began my journey into the business world. From there I earned 7 figures in Network Marketing and then multiple six figures in my first year of launching my Self-Love School, but in this episode I take you through the stories and lessons I have learned so far, and why I believe my background and appetite to take risks and read trends is so important in this next evolution for me. 

In this episode I talk all things filters - of the social media variety - and how I truly believe they are todays biggest body dysmorphia (and have been for years). I hear it all of the time, "I only use the really natural ones" or "I only use them sometimes and besides everyoneeee uses them". And ANY reason you use them is completely fine, because they're your reasons, but in this episode I simply speak to the points that are they honestly actually helping you? Or hurting you.  There's a challenge right at the end too if you're so called, and although IG still has me shadow banned, if you DO take up the challenge, I'd love to (try to be) tagged so I can see your natural beautiful faces at @thereal_annarose

Back in June 2021, I competed in my very first half ironman (a 70.3). I had only gotten into triathlon as a sport 1 year earlier, having not been able to swim, never really having ridden a bike & not being a great runner.  So in my first year to have completed 8 triathlon and then into my first half ironman, is something I will never not be deeply proud of.  If you haven't already, go back and listen to Episode 52, "My story that broke me then made me & inspired me into my half ironman" because in it, I go through in to the VERY big why about what inspired me into competing in my first half, and the bigness of it all. 'Tying' this chapter off in my life, felt big and emotional. I recorded this shortly after finishing the race, I just never had uploaded it, but it's now time. p.s I went on to compete & race in a 2nd half ironman less than 6 months later. And still have an episode coming on the lessons from that too!  

After more than 9 months off the podcast feeling, healing & grieving from my marriage separation and getting back into the dating world I am officially BACK. And not back then disappearing again. Back BACK, and this time I'm not going anywhere. I have given my life and those that were directly connected to it the time and space & respect of silence now, but it's time & I do feel I can show back up again in my fullest truth.  If you've listened to any episode prior to this one you know I speak the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. I don't edit or censor my words or feelings, so to have given a weekly voice to what I have gone through, healed and dealt with both from a separation AND dating perspective, wouldn't have respected those who wanted privacy. But it's been 12 months now, and as a woman who is healed and whole, I'm ready to spit a lot of new fire and sermons of truth with the world again. There'll be honest conversations about dating as a 34 year old (after not for 14 years), sex, love, heartbreak, launching new businesses and everything in between.  And I can't wait to have you all back along for the journey again.

This episode comes with a BIG trigger warning. This is my story. A story of a decade long of sexual abuse by a trusted family friend from our church. In this almost hour-long conversation, I share some of my stories from as young as I can remember of how I was groomed, molested, & eventually raped. I talk about how I became healed & whole and why I am finally ready to share my whole story.   It is this story, my past, that was the ultimate inspiration for enrolling in my first half ironman. At the time of recording this episode (it was May 26th when I sat down to record), I explain how I have gone from 11 years ago being broken, dead on the inside & wanting to die to being 11 days out to competing in my first half ironman & loving myself unconditionally.   When we share – we heal – and this is my final paragraph in this chapter of reclaiming my FULL power & strength with this story.

I invited Lael Stone back on to the podcast after her conversation with her around Aware Parenting (episode 35) as Lael fast became one of the most shared & listened to episodes on the podcast, so I knew you all needed more of her. In this episode, Lael dives into the HUGE & necessary conversation of birth trauma. How prevalent it is amongst women, how necessary our culture around birth in Australia needs to change, where & how to start to heal from it.. and of course the opposite of that. How to have an empowered birth where you know you get to make all the choices you need for you AND baby.  It's a BIG conversation, it's emotional - and it's one I truly believe is going to give thousands of women permission to begin the healing process if they themselves endured a traumatic birth.

Todays episode was inspired by another incredible Podcaster I listen to weekly, Chris Harder over at For the Love of Money. In his episode, he gives 4 questions every couple should ask each other about MONEY. So in this episode, Morgs & I go through those questions together & dissect the questions from our answers as we go along. To ask your own partner the questions once you've tuned in & if you're inspired, they are: 1.What makes you feel more secure? Saving money? Or Earning money? 2.What's more important to you? Spending money on things? Or experiences? 3.What is ‘our' spending threshold? As in, what is the amount you'd like to be consulted on? 4.How often do you want an update on our finances?   FIND US HERE: Anna: @annarose_richards Morgan: @morgangrichards Website: https://annaandmorgan.com/ YouTube: www.youtube.com/c/AnnaandMorgan

It's a true honour to bring you Dr Dennis Jensen, or as we warmly refer to him, and have for 11 years as DJ. He's a brilliant scientific mind, has worked for the CSIRO, and an ex-member of Federal Parliament who served the Lower house for 11 years as a brilliant politician, and he is also the man who just so happens to be Anna's old boss in that Parliament.   In all of this legislative chaos that we have seen unfold in Victoria, the question that has rung out over & over again is 'but what's the alternative to the Lockdown?' to which Dennis says is no lockdown. He is a man with some backing to make such bold claims though, with a Bachelor of Applied Science, Masters of Science (Physics) and a PhD in Materials Science.   In this episode, we cover a lot, but specifically why, by his own Scientific mind that continuously pours over all the data & literature at hand, he believes the Lockdown should end & what the Government should have always done is protect our society's most vulnerable & let business & society get back to functioning.   He would still be IN Politics if not for inner-party corruption of branch stacking, so we dive into that right at the end (if you want to stick around).   Show Notes: 04:30 Growing up in South Africa 06:30 Living through apartheid 08:50 Are policy makers experts? 10:40 Lack of scrutiny around lockdowns effectiveness 12:31 The problem with computer modeling 16:31 DJ's position on lockdowns 19:15 Associated health impacts of lockdowns 22:00 Inflection points and flattening the curve 24:30 Natural immunity and T cells 29:30 Dan Andrews obsession with lockdowns 34:10 Cutting policy makers pay during the lockdown 34:20 Nazi Germany didn't start with death camps 36:20 Section 92 of the Australian Constitution 37:30 Victorian - the police State 39:10 Weakness's within the Australian Constitutionn 45:45 What can people do to oppose bad policy 47:35 No plan and no measure for success 49:25 Powers of the federal government in regards to state law. 51:20 Totalitarian behavior 55:30 unherd.com 57:30 But you are not a medical doctor? 01:02:30 Branch stacking 01:04:15 LNP branch structure borderline illegal 01:06:30 Anyone should be able to vote in preselection 01:09:20 DJ's Defamation case and subsequent win 01:12:20 The problem with major political parties 01:13:30 Lack of diversity in Australian politics FIND DENNIS HERE: https://www.facebook.com/DennisJensen1962 https://www.linkedin.com/in/dennis-jensen-57b13434/    FIND US HERE: Anna: @annarose_richards Morgan: @morgangrichards Website: https://annaandmorgan.com/

I (Anna) dive deeper into the ethos of 'eating like you love yourself' more in this episode with the ideology that I live & breathe by, of there is no such thing as bad food, only bad habits.   17kg heavier and feeling terrible in all ways (sluggish, uncomfortable in my clothes, self-loathing), it wasn't depriving myself of all foods that began my healing process to total well-being, it was changing my habits.  I eat ALL foods today, and want you to feel like you can too, without eating with guilt, shame & fear.   In this episode, I speak to the power of knowing you can eat the things that bring you enjoyment (like chocolate, hot chips, pasta or ice cream) & making sure you eat it with gratitude, love & joy.   I also touch on the body positivity movement - & my take on it.   Tune in to hear my words on all of the above, & if you know a woman who needs to hear these words, I'd be honoured if you shared it with her.   FIND US HERE:  Anna IG: @annarose_richards Morgan IG: @morgangrichards Website: https://annaandmorgan.com/
