Why I started making videos — and what I was most afraid of.

Why I started making videos — and what I was most afraid of.

I'll be honest about what stopped me from starting a YouTube channel for years. It wasn't the technical challenge. It wasn't the time. It was the thought of my face, speaking directly, to an unknown number of people about things that actually matter to me.

The things I talk about in my videos require real honesty. And real honesty, at scale, is terrifying.

What changed was working with enough women to understand that the honest version — the one where I actually say the thing rather than a safer adjacent version — is also the useful one. The video where I'm slightly uncertain, reaching for the right word — that's the one that lands. Because the woman watching is also slightly uncertain, reaching for the right word.

The Reset with Anna lives at four playlists. Reset Talks — honest conversations about nervous systems and what it means to come through things. Come Back to Yourself — the practical practices. Jewellery with Meaning — the pieces and the stories behind them. Houseboat Life — the real-life layer.

New video every week. Come and find me there.
