Welcome to Brutally Anna — the podcast where we stop pretending we’re fine and start telling the f*cking truth.
I’m Anna, a writer, accidental influencer, and self-appointed spokesperson for the women who feel too much, think too hard, and talk to themselves in the shower. This isn’t a self-help podcast. It’s a self-honesty one.
Each week, I dive into the mess of being a human — the shame, the silence, the spirals — and say the things we’re all thinking but too afraid to post. From heartbreak to ambition, mental health to creative burnout, loneliness to the urge to completely disappear... nothing is off-limits. If it’s brutally honest, we go there.
No fake pep talks. No toxic positivity. Just the deeply uncomfortable, strangely funny, painfully freeing truth.
If you’ve ever felt like you’re too much or not enough — you’re in the right place. Pull up a chair. Let’s get brutal. New episodes on Wednesdays.

He’s Great—Except for the Part Where He Lies to Me
This week’s episode is brought to you by: the delusion that a man who lies to you repeatedly is still somehow “99% amazing.”
In this episode, I unpack:
Why 99% perfect still isn’t enough when the other 1% is gaslighting
What it really means when you say “he’s so great, except…”
Why “second chances” are often just “I’m scared to be alone” in a trench coat
The emotional equivalent of playing a rigged slot machine with your self-worth
And how to know when you’re not actually confused — you’re just stalling
If you’re currently debating whether to leave a man who keeps texting other women — this episode is for you. Because you deserve more than 99%. You deserve 100%, or at the very least, a boyfriend who doesn’t flirt with married women behind your back.
