Profile picture for Anacani Walters

Anacani Walters

Anacani Walters is a nurse-turned-entrepreneur, womenโ€™s wellness coach, yoga instructor, master SUP instructor, and military spouse who believes resilience isnโ€™t about pushing harder โ€” itโ€™s about learning how to regulate, reset, and rise.

After 15+ years in surgical oncology and general surgery, battling her own health challenges, burnout, adrenal fatigue, PCOS, cervical cancer, depression, and rebuilding her life through yoga and paddleboarding, she discovered something powerful:

Fear isnโ€™t weakness. Itโ€™s information.

Through Paddle Forward, Anacani blends science, nervous system education, ocean metaphors, mindset coaching, and lived experience to help women โ€” and military families navigating transition โ€” move through fear without burning out.

This podcast is for the woman becoming.
The mother in matrescence.
The entrepreneur rebuilding confidence.
The military spouse in transition.
The leader learning to trust herself again.

Here, we fall, float, and rise.
