Back to You with Anne Jones
The Back to You Podcast is for high-achieving women who know what to do…but still find themselves disappearing on themselves when life gets overwhelming. If you’ve ever thought: “Why can’t I just stay consistent?” “This shouldn’t be this hard.” “I know what to do, so why am I not doing it?” …this podcast is for you. Hosted by Anne Jones, nervous system coach, former fitness coach of 16+ years, and creator of Back to You, this show helps women understand the deeper pattern beneath burnout, self-sabotage, urgency, overthinking, emotional eating, procrastination, and starting over again every Monday. Because the problem usually isn’t discipline. It’s what happens in the moment your body no longer feels safe. Through honest conversations, nervous system education, mindset shifts, practical tools, and real-life stories, Anne teaches women how to stop abandoning themselves when life gets hard and start building self-trust, emotional safety, and sustainable consistency from the inside out. This is not about becoming a perfect woman. It’s about becoming a woman who stays with herself. Expect conversations around: • nervous system regulation • self-trust & emotional resilience • hustle + hide patterns • boundaries & people-pleasing • sustainable health & body image • motherhood, ambition & overwhelm • healing urgency • fitness, food & movement without obsession • creating a calmer, more grounded life You do not need more pressure. You need a new way to come back to yourself.

In this episode of Back to You, Anne explains self-abandonment in the way most high-achieving women actually experience it: not as one dramatic life collapse, but as the tiny everyday moments where you override what you need, choose what feels easier, and then wonder why you don’t trust yourself to follow through.
