34: Why I Changed My Name (and my life) w/ Rudi Riekstins
In this deeply personal and soul-led episode, Anniston Riekstins is joined by her husband and life partner, Rudi Riekstins, as they sit together in an intimate conversation about the story behind Anniston’s name change, the intuitive pull, the inner resistance, the fear of judgment, and the profound identity shift that followed.
This episode is a mirror for every woman who feels she’s outgrown an old identity but hasn’t yet stepped into the new one.
In This Episode, You’ll Learn:
- Why identity shifts often begin as an intuitive whisper long before they make any logical sense
- The spiritual significance of names, sound frequency, and your soul’s blueprint through numerology and soul contract work
- How changing her name forced Anniston to confront her deepest wound around belonging, rejection, and visibility
- Why authenticity requires courage, not in the choosing, but in the showing up
- How her evolution became a permission slip for other women to embrace their uniqueness
- The invitation of 2026’s “Fire Horse” energy: boldness, individuality, and unfiltered self-expression.
If you’ve ever felt like you’re outgrowing your old name, your old role, or your old self, this conversation will remind you that evolution is not only allowed… it’s required.
