    What I Got From My Mother (And What I Chose to Change)

    In this Mother’s Day special episode of She Asked: Tools for Practical Hope, Anna McBride shares a personal reflection on her relationship with her mother and the patterns she inherited around money, identity, and self-worth. Through storytelling, Anna explores how so many of us unknowingly carry the beliefs, behaviors, and emotional patterns of the women who raised us. From financial anxiety to relationship dynamics, she opens up about how she became a “2.0 version” of her mother and the healing work it took to break those patterns and choose something different. This episode is not about blame, but awareness, ownership, and transformation. In this episode, you’ll learn: – How family patterns shape your relationship with money, love, and self – Why awareness is the first step to real change – How to identify what you’ve inherited (and what no longer serves you) – Practical ways to release, transform, and rewrite your story Whether your relationship with your mother feels loving, complicated, or somewhere in between, this conversation offers a powerful reminder: Remember: It’s not what you got—it’s what you choose to do with it. ✨ If you’re in NYC: Anna will be performing at The Moth storytelling event on May 11 in Brooklyn (theme: “I Got It From My Momma”) ✨ If this episode resonates, please like, subscribe, and share it with someone who might need to hear it. ✨ And if you’re ready to go deeper, Anna offers 1:1 coaching to help you move from awareness into real, lasting change. #MothersDay #SelfGrowth #HealingJourney #FamilyPatterns #PersonalDevelopment #SheAsked #WomensHealing ✨ Schedule your Free Call with Anna 💌 Join Anna's Newsletter 🎬 Subscribe on YouTube ✨Follow on Instagram

    Worth Less Than What: The Two-Word Reality Check

    In this episode of She Asked: Tools for Practical Hope, Anna McBride sits down with psychotherapist Dawna Daigneault for a deeply insightful conversation on self-worth—what it is, how it’s formed, and why so many of us struggle to feel it. With over 20 years of clinical experience, Dawna shares her personal story and the moments that shaped her understanding of worth, along with the development of her Worth Conscious Theory—a framework that helps people reconnect to a stable, internal sense of self-worth that isn’t dependent on external validation. Together, Anna and Dawna explore how early life experiences shape our sense of worth, why self-worth and self-esteem are not the same, and how many of us unknowingly live with a “lost worth story” that influences our relationships, choices, and emotional lives. This episode is for anyone who has ever felt “not enough,” even after doing the work—and is ready to move from awareness into real, lived change. In this episode, we cover: – The difference between self-worth and self-esteem – How childhood experiences shape your sense of worth – What a “lost worth story” is and how it develops – Why self-worth isn’t something you lose—but something you can deny – Practical ways to begin rebuilding a grounded sense of self Dawna also shares powerful tools from her work, including how to challenge the belief of being “worthless” and begin reconnecting with your inherent value. — ✨ Learn more about Dawna’s work:  Website: https://understanding-self-worth.com  Facebook Group: Understanding Self-Worth ✨ Schedule your Free Call with Anna 💌 Join Anna's Newsletter 🎬 Subscribe on YouTube ✨Follow on Instagram

    Your Body Isn’t the Problem — It’s the Map

    In this episode of She Asked: Tools for Practical Hope, Anna McBride sits down with breathwork facilitator and somatic coach Naomi Rogoff, founder of Big Emotions, for a powerful conversation on healing, the body, and what it really means to feel. Naomi shares her journey from a high-pressure career in finance to navigating an eating disorder, exploring psychedelic healing spaces, and ultimately finding her way to somatic work. Together, Anna and Naomi unpack the gaps in both traditional treatment and alternative healing—and what’s often missing when we try to “think” our way into change. This conversation explores the idea that the body isn’t the problem—it’s the map, and offers a new way to understand emotions, disconnection, and healing from the inside out. In this episode, we cover: – Naomi’s personal healing journey and what led her to this work – The limitations of both clinical treatment and unregulated healing spaces – What somatic healing actually is (and how it works) – Why understanding your emotions isn’t the same as feeling them – How to begin reconnecting with your body in a safe, grounded way If you’ve ever felt disconnected from your body, overwhelmed by your emotions, or stuck despite “doing the work,” this episode offers a compassionate and practical starting point. — ✨ Work with Anna McBride: If you’re ready to move beyond insight and into real transformation, Anna offers coaching for women navigating relationships, identity shifts, self-worth, and healing.

    The Best Conversation I Ever Had.... That Was Never Recorded

    Have you ever made a mistake… and realized it might have happened for a reason?
