What does it really take to become the woman you know you’re capable of becoming?
For Anna Mwasha, it took courage, sacrifice, motherhood, long-distance travel, imposter syndrome, and a decision to stop waiting until she felt “ready.”
In this episode of Rich Auntie Chats, Anna takes us behind the scenes of her Cambridge Executive MBA journey; from wondering if she was “Cambridge material” to finding herself in a room alongside founders, CEOs, and PhDs and finally realizing: I belong here. But getting there was anything but easy.
She opens up about commuting to Cambridge every month while working and raising a child, the toll it took on her relationships and social life, and the support system that helped hold everything together. We talk about ambition, motherhood, career, identity, and the uncomfortable truth that you can have it all; just not all at once.
And then, in true Rich Auntie Chats fashion, the conversation takes an unexpected turn: perfume. Anna shares how something that started as a personal passion became The Sniff Bar, her new venture making niche fragrances more accessible through discovery sets and guided scent experiences.
This is a conversation about doing hard things before you feel ready.
About choosing growth over comfort.
About refusing to let fear decide the size of your life.
And about realizing that sometimes, the biggest breakthrough is not getting the title, degree, or achievement — it is finally believing that you deserve to be in the room.
🎧 Tune in if you’ve ever felt like you’re behind, not enough, or torn between your ambition and the life you’re building.
Anna’s story might just remind you that your life doesn’t have to be linear for it to be extraordinary.
