Phodkhast #8 - 7 Things I Wish I Knew in My 20s
In another failed attempt to be relatable, Anna Bey nee Aija Raty, fills 53 minutes of airtime with things she wishes she knew in her 20s - before diving in Anna admits there are WAAAY more than 7 things she wishes she knew, however she wants to keep this episode “short and digestible”.
The intro for the podcast is like a bad sales pitch for a self-transformation course: Anna wants to help people become a better person. Looking back, she wishes she knew these things earlier to have her successes earlier in life. She blabs on and on about shit, as she is prone to do, no regrets, everything happens for a reason - just get to the fucking point Anna!
Anna’s really passionate about “Transformation” (ie. MONEY) in the School of Affluence, so she blabs about your past, your patterns, self-growth - really laying down the foundations for selling her next course and alluding that she is an “expert in her field”…
Without further ado, here are the basic knowledge drops that can be found on Pinterest: (and times may be off as I listened to 1.5x podcast because it's just so goddamn boring)
05:00 - #1 “It’s OKAY to be DISLIKED” I suppose Anna is currently struggling with not being accepted and liked by all. Apparently she lost sleep over people not liking her. Then she tries to make you “set yourself free” by repeating that “it’s okay when people don’t like you”
09:20 - #2 “Men who GHOST, Adios Amigo” Anna urges women not to be desperate (but she’s not shaming!) giggles nervously about making more mistakes while fixing other mistakes…. goes back to point #1 - we hate being rejected… Anna goes off on tangents about women accepting men’s wrong behaviour…. set boundaries - she reads a “message from a follower” about chasing a man…. I think it’s made up - it’s never the woman’s fault if the man’s ghosted, Anna brings up “the famous Miranda quote from sex and the city, ‘He’s not that into you’”… it’s a goddamn dating and relationship book Anna. She then states that dating should be like a competition (maybe, The Bachelor?) with multiple "candidates"... OKAY
21:20 - #3 “Why Didn’t She Start Earlier with Therapy?” Anna doesn’t care if YOU don’t care about therapy, she doesn’t care, she doesn’t care if you’re sick of hearing about therapy, she doesn’t care! She never regrets, but she does regret not going to therapy earlier. Apparently her therapist is to blame for everything in her life now, as when she needs support she goes to therapy. Therapy, therapy, therapy….
25:30 - #4 “Be careful who you become friends with” Anna Bey recommends to always be on your watch, but not in “paranoid mode” when it comes to making friends. >> Anna, LOOK IN THE MIRROR - you attract what you put out - you’re a shitty person who attracts shitty friends. You’re welcome. >> The rambling here is incessant about human beings and friends and intuition…
32:40 - #5 “Ladies it’s not about being the prettiest woman in the room, it’s truly about being the most irresistible one” It’s about confidence, charisma, charm, etc… In our 20s we’re insecure…. “don’t forget, people like different things” Anna’s wisdom knows no bounds. Don’t forget - we need to work on our inner self (and luckily she has a course to help you with this!)
37:00 - #6 “Wish she knew more about Elegance, and that Elegance is NOT just for Old People” - we “*all* know that Anna is the modern elegance spokesperson” She actually “developed” different Elegant Style Personalities (she created a quiz! fun, right?) Go to
stylepersonalityquiz.com to find a style personality that YOU are - and so she can get your email for future course drops!!!! Also, that link takes you to:
https://www.messenger.com/t/annabeyofficial (which states she’s a “personal coach”)- And you click “Get Started” to get a real link. OK… FUNNEL MARKETING >> don’t do it, it’s a trap!
42:10 - #7 “You don’t have to stress about Mr Right and *when* he will COME…” Anna again is so far removed from reality of the modern woman - the modern woman is not desperate, we’re too busy in our careers, making friends, and creating experiences… Very old school way of thinking Anna…Anna shares a SECRET: The tool Anna uses to get over the stress of waiting for Mr Right, “Anna Bey Hack”: GO TO AN ASTROLOGIST. So not only THERAPY but also obsessed with ASTROLOGY and how planets influence us and our lives.
49:40 - I’m Anna Bey and I’m casual and want us to connect on a casual conversation about different viewpoints… Course is still closed, but get on the waiting list to notify when we open up doors - subscribe on youtube! subscribe to the podcast!
“School of Affluence” is mentioned: 2
Plain Jane mentioned: 1 time
Therapy is mentioned: 47 times
Anna Bey is also putting out the message that as she’s older, she’s wiser and somehow “better” than when she was younger.

Oh my god, I don’t know how longer I can do this. It’s mind-numbing. She rambles and goes off on tangents - and I can just picture the females who are listening to this going “OMG she’s SO right!” and my eyes are just rolling out of my head.
** I listen to so many other podcasts that actually provide a point of view and teach me something, or bring up a point of view, in 30 mins or less.
