with Padmini Pandya — Founder of Pieces of Miss Mini

This week on I Want Her Shoes Podcast, we’re exploring identity, diaspora, reinvention — and what it means to belong everywhere and nowhere at once.

Host Anna Anisin sits down with Padmini Pandya, the voice behind Pieces of Miss Mini — a global storyteller, former corporate strategist, and daughter of refugees whose life has spanned continents, cultures, careers, and spiritual awakenings.

A 4th-generation Indian shaped by migration from India to East Africa, to the UK, the U.S., nearly a decade in Asia, and back again, Padmini carries generations of movement in her bones. Her work is a collection of love letters to life — reflections on belonging, generational shifts, identity, heartbreak, ambition, and the quiet courage it takes to keep evolving.

In this episode, Anna and Padmini explore how history shapes us, how reinvention saves us, and how style, spirituality, and storytelling become tools for reclamation.

👠Key Moments:

• Growing up as the daughter of refugees — and how generational migration shaped Padmini’s sense of self
• Navigating life across the UK, U.S., Asia, and beyond — and redefining what “home” really means
• Balancing high-level corporate strategy with spiritual awakenings and inner work
• The emotional weight of diaspora — and the freedom of self-authorship
• Reinvention, burnout, rebirth — and learning to evolve without apology
• Fashion as cultural storytelling — how personal style reflects identity and belonging
• Why being “in-between” cultures can become your greatest strength
  

Whether you’ve ever felt caught between worlds, careers, or versions of yourself — this conversation is a reminder that identity is not singular. It’s layered. It’s lived. It’s constantly unfolding.

🎧 Listen now for a story of migration, memory, and becoming — one chapter at a time.

In this special anniversary edition, Anna and Nicole go deep on what it really means to glow up after the storm. From navigating surgery and sensuality to sex toys, sisterhood, and shedding old selves — nothing is off limits.

They talk orgasms, wellness rituals, emotional recovery, and the sacred role of female friendships as new kinds of relationships. The ones that hold space for your transformation — and sometimes hand you a vibrator or a matcha while they’re at it.

• Big circles vs. small circles, and the value of both
• Ideas for nourishing friend dates and trips that are more reset than rager
• Releasing old versions of self and stepping into the new (hello, Horse Year)
  

Tune in for a raw, radiant, and pleasure-forward conversation between two women who know the journey from 0 to 60 — and aren’t afraid to talk about what happens after the glow-up begins.

with Dr. Silvia Rotemberg – Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon + Special Commentary by Host Anna Anisin

This week on I Want Her Shoes Podcast, Host Anna Anisin is joined by the incredibly accomplished Dr. Silvia Rotemberg, a board-certified cosmetic and reconstructive plastic surgeon based in South Miami. Known for her individualized, natural-looking results and deep empathy for her patients, Dr. Rotemberg brings decades of experience — and a philosophy rooted in balance, beauty, and personal choice.

This episode is special. Not only because Dr. Rotemberg is one of the most trusted hands in her field — but because Anna recently had her own breast explant and lift procedure done by her. What unfolds in this intimate conversation is a rare look at the emotional layers of plastic surgery — the identity shifts, the shame, the liberation — and the power of doing what’s right for you.

From the rise of explants to the reasons women choose augmentation in the first place, this isn’t a debate. It’s an open, judgment-free exploration of body sovereignty, self-love, and evolving beauty standards in a world that’s constantly trying to tell women who they should be.

Whether you’re implant curious, explant curious, or just craving a real conversation about how we show up in our bodies — this one’s for you.

👠 Key Moments:

• Why women get breast implants — and why many are choosing to remove them
• Anna’s personal story: her augmentation at 20, and her explant + lift at 42
• What to expect — physically and emotionally — after an explant or lift
• How shame, stigma, and beauty narratives shape women’s choices
• The 5 most important things to know before getting cosmetic surgery
• What makes plastic surgery in Florida different than in other states
• How Dr. Rotemberg finds personal style and expression — even in scrubs
• The emotional power of helping women feel at home in their bodies again
  

Listen if you’re navigating body changes and wondering if surgery is right for you, if you’ve ever felt pressure to “bounce back” or “keep up,” or if you’re craving an honest, nuanced conversation about beauty, aging, and choice. This episode is also for you if you’ve had implants (or are considering them) and want real insight from both a patient and a surgeon — or if you’re simply exploring what self-love means at any age, on your own terms.

Adding a chic twist to each episode, the ‘I Want Her Shoes Podcast’ is recorded in Anna’s stunning personal closet, strategically located near the vibrant Miami Design District. This unique setting not only provides a visually captivating backdrop but also embodies the spirit of fashion and innovation that the area is known for.

with Denise Rappaport Isaacs, Esq. — Family Law Attorney & Women’s Advocate + Special Commentary by Host Anna Anisin

This week on I Want Her Shoes, we’re talking about something no one puts on their vision board — but so many women walk through quietly, courageously, and often, in heels.

Divorce.

In this powerful and deeply personal episode, host Anna Anisin sits down with Denise Rappaport Isaacs, Esq., South Florida’s leading family law attorney and a trailblazer in divorce law, to unpack the big D — the legal, emotional, financial, and personal sides of leaving a marriage and starting over.

With over four decades of experience — including helping shape New York’s equitable distribution laws — Denise brings compassion, clarity, and strategy to what can otherwise feel like chaos. Together, she and Anna (who’s walking through her own divorce) open up the conversation so many avoid: how to protect your peace, your assets, and your power… without losing your mind or yourself in the process.

Why now?

Because 2026 is being called The Year of the Big Divorce. Spiking rates post-pandemic, women reevaluating life goals, and rising emotional burnout have made this one of the most active periods for family law in the last decade. Whether you’re going through it, thinking about it, or supporting a friend — this episode is for you.

👠 Key Moments:

• Why 2024 is the “big divorce year” and what’s really driving the spike in splits
• Denise’s story — from writing legislation to guiding women through complex, high-asset separations
• Anna shares her own story and what no one prepares you for when the paperwork begins
• 10 must-knows about divorce if you’re in Florida or coming from NYC
• 5 legal truths that apply to every woman in every state
• Red flags to look for in the early stages — and how to protect your emotional bandwidth
• How to navigate fear, finances, and finding your footing again
• What to wear when you feel like you’re falling apart — and how style becomes armor in transition
• Why your lawyer should be your lifeline — not just your legal rep
  

This is more than a legal chat. It’s a love letter to women in the middle of reinvention.

Whether you’re processing, protecting your peace, or ready to start your next chapter — may this episode remind you:

You don’t have to do it alone. You don’t have to have it all figured out. And you don’t have to stay where your soul has already left.

Divorce isn’t the end — it’s a shift.

And we’re walking through it together.
