• Your Urgent Warning for 2026 (Astrological Forecast Ahead) with Luke Balcke

  Today’s episode is the one you’ve been feeling in your bones. I brought astrologer Luke Balcke back into the studio, my personal astrologer of three years - because what is happening in 2026 is unlike anything we’ve lived through in our lifetime. Luke doesn’t deal in fluff. He deals in cycles, history, patterns, and the cosmic “clock” that has predicted every major shift we’ve seen across cultures, governments, economies, and consciousness. And the message is clear: A once-in-forever astrological event is coming. A collapse of old systems. A collective awakening. A reset of how we live, lead, earn, trust and move through the world. This episode is not fear-based. It’s awareness. It’s preparation. It’s perspective. It’s the reminder that you were born for this moment in history. Together we unpack: What the Saturn–Neptune conjunction at 0° Aries actually is Why this point is literally called “The World Point” in astrology What historical events have happened under this same conjunction Why 2025 was “the trailer,” and 2026 is “the movie” The potential collapse of financial, political, religious and health systems How to prepare yourself and your family without spiralling into fear Why so many people are turning to religion and why others are waking up How to stay sovereign, centred and grounded in uncertainty And why your soul chose to be here, now, for this exact timeline This episode is big. It’s bold. It’s paradigm-shifting. And it might just be the most important conversation you listen to before 2026 arrives. What We Cover Why astrology is not “predictive magic” - it’s the language of cycles How religion demonised astrology to keep power The transition from the Age of Pisces (belief) to the Age of Aquarius (knowing) Why the 2026 Saturn–Neptune conjunction is unprecedented in human history The Berlin Wall, civil rights, world wars and their astrological signatures What February–March 2026 is likely to trigger globally Economic bubbles, AI, currency collapse, political upheaval How to prepare without panic: food, cash flow, community, consciousness Why 2008–2023 babies (Pluto in Capricorn kids) are the rebuilders of society Why fear is useless, and personal leadership is everything Previous Episode Youtube: How astrology is a fundamental blueprint of your life with Luke Balcke Connect with Luke YouTube: Luke Balcke - Astro Awakening Website: lukebalcke.com Instagram: @lukebalcke Connect with Anna Instagram: @thereal_annarose Podcast: @anythinggoespodcast__ Inner Circle: Monthly mastermind & live coaching — $47/month If this episode expanded you… Please leave a review, share to your Instagram stories, or send it to a friend who you know is ready to awaken.

Anna opens up about her own court experience - from safe rooms and police prosecutors to the moment her perpetrator’s lawyer finally said, “It’s over.” Together, Anna and Michelle pull back the curtain on what happens after you leave - the legal trauma, the “invisible prison,” the shame, and the strength it takes to keep going.

• Domestic Violence, Survival & The Window to Leave – with Michelle Faye

  This week Anna sits down with domestic-violence advocate Michelle Faye for one of the most vulnerable conversations she’s ever recorded. They speak openly about coercive control, survival psychology, and the “window” where women can finally leave. Together they unpack guilt, trauma bonding, and healing after abuse - so that no woman feels alone or ashamed for what she endured. Trigger warning: discussion of domestic violence, physical abuse, and suicidal thoughts. Together they unpack: What coercive control actually looks like (when it’s not physical yet) How abuse slowly erodes autonomy through “a thousand paper cuts” Why women can’t “just leave” until they physically and psychologically can How trauma bonding and love-bombing create the illusion of safety The systemic failures that keep women in danger – and what must change Anna also shares, for the first time in full, her own story of survival and escape - how she planned her exit, the moment she thought she would die, and the truth about what it takes to leave a narcissistic and violent partner. This conversation is raw, confronting, and deeply validating for any woman who has ever asked herself, “Why didn’t I just leave?” ⚖️ CONTENT NOTE & SUPPORT This episode discusses domestic violence, physical and emotional abuse, and suicidal thoughts.

• Behind Closed Doors: The Reality of Our IVF Journey

  We promised you the real talk, and here it is. In this heart-on-sleeve update, Anna and Ryan walk through their February IVF start date, why they moved it from January, and the exact day-by-day protocol (hello, three shots in the morning). They unpack the emotional whiplash of being “pregnant until proven otherwise,” why they’re doing a fresh transfer (no genetic testing), and the surprisingly heavy consent decisions (what happens to embryos, and what if one partner passes). They also share the ‘why’ behind going public: community, transparency, and refusing to gaslight their audience for three months while silently waiting. If you or a friend are IVF-curious (or supporting someone who is), this is the episode to save. What we cover Why January didn’t align (retreat energy vs. implantation) The full IVF timeline: period day 1 → scans → stim injections → trigger → retrieval → day-5 fresh transfer → HCG test Choosing quality over quantity (AMH, follicle growth, embryo grading) The consent-form realities nobody talks about Sharing publicly: boundaries, privacy, community support How we’re designing February for rest, ritual, and regulation Gentle disclaimers This episode reflects our personal experience and choices. It is not medical advice. Please speak to your clinician for your unique situation. Content includes fertility procedures, needles, and mention of a chemical pregnancy. Share this episode with a friend who’s IVF-curious or supporting someone in treatment. Leave a review if this conversation helped you feel less alone — it genuinely helps the pod reach more women.

• Pick ONE Asset & Go All-In. The #1 Investing Lesson No One Tells You!

  Fresh from a whirlwind week (and minutes before going live to 1,200+ for her masterclass), Anna drops a solo episode distilling the real lesson from her Asset Class Series. After interviewing heavy hitters across property, shares, Bitcoin/crypto, Dubai real estate, and fractional hotel ownership, one truth stood out: it matters less which asset you choose and more that you choose one that aligns with your values - and then back it with conviction. Anna unpacks: Why smart, credible experts can totally disagree - and all be “right” in their lane. How to stay grounded when opinions are loud, numbers are noisy, and inflation is real. The mindset shift that turns confusion into strategy: know, trust, back, and love your asset. Why she personally leans into shares (incl. micro-investing) + Bitcoin, and why your answer might be different (and that’s okay). This is your sign to ditch paralysis, pick your lane, and start compounding. Key Takeaways Conviction over consensus: Every expert can dismantle another asset class. Your job is to pick the one that aligns with your values, risk tolerance, and goals. Beat inflation or get eaten by it: Cash at 2% won’t outpace a real-world ~10% squeeze you feel at the checkout. Investing is no longer optional. Depth before breadth: Nail one asset class first. Then diversify within it or add a second. Self-leadership = portfolio leadership: Know yourself AND know your asset. Trust yourself AND back your asset.
