Welcome to Flawed, But Fearless For the messy, awkward, wonderfully human moments and how to find your way home to yourself.

Hi, I’m Annie.

Welcome to my little corner of the internet… a place for people who are tired of pretending they’re fine when they’re actually hanging on by a thread… or laughing at themselves… or questioning everything… or all three before breakfast.

For years (okay, decades), I tried to “fix” myself.

Sobriety, therapy, coaching, healing, psychics, hypnotherapy, self-help books by the metric ton (and I even wrote one The Confidence Factor… oh and I am a psychic and was a coach and hypnotherapist for years). I popped up on TV, in the press, and on global stages pretending to be the woman who had her life nicely ironed and folded.

Spoiler: I didn’t. I don’t. And honestly? I’m over living to please people, over chasing approval, over trying to live up to everyone’s “impossible standards” just to be “enough” for anyone but me…

Seriously… f**k that.

Shame, guilt, people-pleasing?

Thank you for your service… you’re free to go.

I twisted myself into whatever shape kept everyone else comfortable…the “sorted” one, the “likeable” one, the “please-love-me-I-promise-I’m-low-maintenance” one. Meanwhile, the soundtrack in my head played the classics:

You’re not good enough.

You always mess things up.

Be perfect or else.

I handed out pedestals like free samples.

I collected approval like it was oxygen.

Exhausting. Hard pass.

Then one day it landed… quietly, but with all the subtlety of a marching band in your living room. And I decided:

I’m not broken.

I don’t need to be fixed.

I’m worthy. I’m enough. Simply because I am.

If you don’t like me? That’s not my problem. Clearly, you don’t have good taste.

Like… WTF? No.

And you don’t need to be fixed either.

You are more than enough, exactly as you are.

Flawed, But Fearless is about finally putting the toolbox down and learning how to breathe again.

It’s about the messy bits we don’t admit out loud…

the moments we cringe at later…

the mini triumphs…

the spirals…

the ridiculous thoughts…

the soft truths…

and the things we learn the hard (and sometimes hilarious) way.

I’m a writer. It’s my jam. It’s always been my thing.

I’m writing my third book, my first attempt at a novel…which is equal parts thrilling, maddening, and “why did no one warn me?”. No book deal yet, no tidy ending, just me stubbornly showing up because the story won’t leave me alone.

So why subscribe?

If you’ve ever felt like you’re supposed to have it all figured out… or like life is just one long, awkward juggling act… welcome home.

Here, you’ll find the messy, awkward, too-real bits of life laid bare…the moments that make you roll your eyes, shake your head, or whisper, “oh god, same.”

I’ll say the things most people don’t.

And real life the unfiltered kind somehow feels a little lighter when we’re not carrying it alone.

At the end of the day, it’s about showing up for yourself, flaws and all…giving yourself permission to be who you are…warts and all…

If you like honesty, tenderness, and the occasional ridiculous epiphany, you’re in the right place.

And yes… the best is still to come

What you can expect here

1–2 newsletters a week…you can follow my journey, get real stories, reflections and much more…I know the changes we have to make, the patterns we have to unlearn and I promise to challenge your thinking.

You’ll be able to comment, join the chat threads, share your posts and notes, and connect with people who get it. A space that actually feels like a community, not a competition.

Most people write generic pieces. They sound like everyone else.

In Flawed, But Fearless, you’ll either see life a little clearer, laugh at yourself a little harder, or feel brave enough to do something you’ve been avoiding.

No perfection. No moralizing. No judgment. Just a safe haven to flourish, to come back home to yourself…
