Chapter 01 · When Anna entered the mentorship

A successful businesswoman who felt physically overwhelmed

Anna described being financially successful in heavy-equipment logistics while wanting a different future. At the same time, she said longstanding health problems, pain, swelling, nerve and muscle damage, and approximately 80 pounds of weight gain had left her struggling to function.

Anna Kelley describing physical pain as one of her biggest challenges
Anna’s words

“My other biggest challenge is the amount of physical pain I’m in that slows me down from accomplishing all of the things I want to.”

Anna’s recording

“I’ve gained probably 80 pounds in the last two years.”

Anna explains the physical and emotional context in which she entered the mentorship.

Readable transcript

“I’ve had pretty much since I was born—but especially as an adult in my twenties—a lot, a lot of health issues… My nerve and my muscle damage is really intense.”

“I’ve been super flared up and swollen. I’ve gained probably 80 pounds in the last two years, even though I eat healthy… I know I’m not there yet. But I also, on the same hand, don’t want that to be an excuse for me to not move forward, not grow successful businesses, not just get the most out of life.”

“I have faith that all of those things will get better as long as I continue taking action. But with all that being said, I’ve just been super hard on myself… Instead of just communicating this with you as the mentor, I’ve just been sitting in it because I get embarrassed.”

Transcript lightly edited for punctuation and readability; wording preserved.

Chapter 02 · Gratitude

“I don’t know where I would be if I had not found your work.”

While describing how much she was struggling, Anna also described Liana’s work as something that had helped her interrupt longstanding negative patterns.

Anna’s recording

“I’m crying right now. I’m just so, so, so grateful.”

Readable transcript

“Thank you so much for listening to this long message and for being who you are and everything that you put out, because as much as I’m struggling mentally this morning and this past week, I don’t know where I would be if I had not found your work a few years ago.”

“I know how much worse it would be had I not started doing your work and been introduced to you and your energy and the ways that you’ve helped me overcome those negative thought patterns that I’ve had since I was a child.”

“I’m crying right now. I’m just so, so, so grateful. Even though I’m scared, I’m so, so grateful and I’m so excited.”

Chapter 03 · A different business and life

A business concept built around what Anna loved

According to Liana’s account, Anna wanted to leave the logistics industry. After discussing Anna’s interests and long-held dreams, Liana developed the “Bespoke Curator” concept, name, branding, and business plan. The messages below show Anna’s responses at the time.

Private messages · February 28, 2024

Liana said she was sending the business plan and asked whether Anna had secured a domain or social-media handle. Anna replied, “Exciting,” and began discussing available handles.

Chapter 04 · What Liana told Anna

“It’s not school. It’s not authoritarian.”

When Anna explained that she had withdrawn because she felt embarrassed about being stuck, Liana encouraged her to communicate rather than hide.

“What is your internal dialogue and how can I help you? What do you need? What support do you need?”

Liana’s voice message

The purpose of the mentorship

Readable transcript

“I’m really glad that you worked through that because it’s why I reached out to you… I just wanted to check in on you and kind of had a feeling that you might have been a little stuck.”

“I don’t care if you’ve had ten hamburgers and six beers and five joints. It’s not about that. It’s about what are you doing when you’re making those choices? What is your internal dialogue and how can I help you? What do you need? What support do you need?”

“That’s the purpose of a mentorship. It’s not a reporting. It’s not school. It’s not authoritarian… those are the periods often where we learn the most because it’s like, why am I stuck there?”

Chapter 05 · What Anna said privately

Warmth, gratitude, and admiration

In the months that followed, Anna’s private messages continued to describe affection, gratitude, and admiration for Liana.

Private messages · May 6, 2024

After Liana told Anna she looked “SO beautiful” and “like a goddess,” Anna replied: “That made me tear up… that really meant a lot to me.”

Chapter 06 · Her health had become overwhelming

Years of pain and doctors who did not listen

Anna’s recordings show why additional health support was raised. She described years of pain, low energy, cognitive fog, difficult reactions to treatment, and physicians who did not know how to help her.

Anna’s recording

“It is working. I can do way more now than I used to could do.”

Readable transcript

“I’ve spent too many years just dealing with pain and no energy and cognitive fog… It is working. I can do way more now than I used to could do. I used to not be able to get out of bed for months sometimes.”

“There’s a lot of things that need to repair and it just takes time to do that.”

Anna’s recording

“The doctor even said to me, ‘I’m not sure how to treat you.’”

Readable transcript

“She would just never listen to me and I would tell her, these are not working for me. I’m having really bad responses to the pellets. And she just wouldn’t hear it.”

“After my second oophorectomy, when I went into menopause, the doctor even said to me, ‘I’m not sure how to treat you. I’ve never had a patient as young as you.’”

Chapter 07 · The introduction to Cahira

The recorded sequence shows an invitation and a choice

The recordings preserve the exchange from Liana’s initial offer through Anna’s acceptance, first conversation with Cahira, and later praise.

Liana offered an introduction.

“If that’s something you are interested in, let me know.”

Anna accepted.

“I would be interested in that… I appreciate you reaching out and asking.”

Anna described feeling heard.

She called Cahira’s energy “really safe and warm” and thanked Liana for the “little nudge.”

Anna expressed hope.

“I feel so much brighter and hopeful… thank you for orchestrating that.”

Anna later praised the weekly calls.

“You already know this…but Cahira is so awesome.”

Liana’s voice message

“Did you want to have me connect you with Cahira or somebody from HMI?”

Readable transcript

“I was just checking in to see if you did want to have me connect you with Cahira or somebody from HMI… If that’s something you are interested in, let me know and I’ll help you out with that.”

Anna’s response

“I would be interested in that.”

Readable transcript

“I feel like if that came to you this morning, then it was definitely for a reason… I would be interested in that… I appreciate you reaching out and asking.”

“I feel so much brighter and hopeful… I’m really looking forward to working with Cahira and getting some of this stuff straightened out that I haven’t been able to put my finger on.”

Anna’s words · June 4, 2024

“You already know this…but Cahira is so awesome. Just got off our weekly call.”

Chapter 08 · She continued reaching toward Liana

In July, Anna asked for more business guidance

After beginning weekly calls with Cahira, Anna continued reaching toward Liana. She followed up about the business plan and asked what she should be focusing on.

Anna: “I wanted to follow up about setting up a call for the business plan, things I should be focusing on etc. Thank you.”

Liana’s voice-message transcript · July 18, 2024

“Let’s get something set up right away… we can have a call, focus on your business plan… and kind of get clear on what direction and spend time really getting you oriented.”

Liana offered Monday, said she had a completely free day, and explained that she wanted the energy of the call to be “all about you.”

Chapter 09 · The later characterization

The account that came later

Liana says Anna later portrayed the mentorship as coercively controlling and characterized the introduction to Cahira as something she had been forced into. Anna’s contemporaneous recordings document Liana presenting the introduction as an option—and Anna accepting it, expressing appreciation, describing Cahira as safe and warm, reporting hope, and continuing weekly calls.

The contrast on this page is not based on speculation about what Anna thought. It is based on what she recorded and wrote while the events were occurring.

Where this section refers to Anna’s later characterization, it is explicitly presented as Liana’s account. If an original later statement, testimony, interview, or post becomes available, Anna’s exact later words should be added here.

Closing · Her words at the time

The contemporaneous record remains

Anna’s recordings and private communications document what she said while the relationship was occurring: that she valued Liana’s guidance, expressed admiration and gratitude, welcomed the introduction to Cahira, reported feeling safer and more hopeful, praised their weekly calls, and continued asking Liana for help with her future.
