There are moments in life when a single experience changes the direction of everything that follows. For Anne Chang, that moment came in 2025 when she was diagnosed with PMOS (polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome, previously known as PCOS) after nearly a decade of struggling with irregular periods. PMOS is a complex hormonal and metabolic condition that can affect menstrual cycles, fertility, energy levels, and overall health, yet awareness and education around it remain limited for many women. What stayed with her most was not just the diagnosis itself, but the realization that she had first learned about PMOS through social media rather than through school or traditional healthcare education. It forced her to confront a larger issue: so many women were navigating their health without accessible, relatable information.
That experience became the foundation for Spill Her Tea, the women’s health education organization Anne founded to make conversations around women’s health more engaging, approachable, and easier to understand. Today, through content creation, podcasting, doula services, and storytelling, Anne is building a career centered entirely around one consistent purpose: helping women feel informed and empowered about their own bodies.
Meet Anne Chang
In a world where health information is more accessible than ever, many women still grow up without fully understanding their own bodies. Anne Chang is working to change that. Based in Sydney, Australia, she is the Founder and Host of Spill Her Tea, a women’s health education platform dedicated to making conversations around women’s health more engaging, approachable, and easier to understand. As a women’s health content creator, ghostwriter, certified birth and postnatal doula, and medical science graduate, Anne combines evidence-based education with storytelling that resonates with modern audiences. Her work sits at the intersection of women’s health advocacy, communication, and care, helping people feel more informed, supported, and confident in navigating their own health journeys. Through podcasts, social media content, doula services, and upcoming educational products, Anne is creating spaces where women’s health conversations no longer feel intimidating or taboo, but honest, empowering, and accessible.
Growing Up Between Cultures
Anne’s perspective on communication and education was shaped long before she entered the world of women’s health advocacy. Born in Japan and raised primarily in Taiwan, she grew up navigating multiple cultures from an early age. As someone who is half Japanese and half Taiwanese, Anne spent much of her childhood in international school environments where diversity of thought and background was part of everyday life.
That upbringing influenced how she viewed conversations that were often considered uncomfortable or taboo in many Asian communities. Women’s health, particularly discussions around menstruation and reproductive health, was not something openly discussed in many spaces around her. Yet Anne found herself increasingly drawn toward openness, education, and honest dialogue. Reflecting on her upbringing, Anne shared that being surrounded by different cultures made her “much more open-minded and curious about the world.” It also gave her the confidence to speak more openly about subjects many people avoid discussing publicly.
Discovering an Underlying Purpose
Anne’s career path was never linear. In fact, she openly describes it as “an absolute roller coaster.” Before finding clarity in her current work, she explored several possible futures. At different points, she considered becoming a midwife, embryologist, or nurse. While those ambitions shifted over time, one thing remained constant: her interest in women’s health.
“Eventually I took a step back and reflected and realised that there was an underlying theme that all my career choices had in common: women’s health.”
That realization helped Anne connect the dots between her academic interests, creative strengths, and personal experiences. Instead of viewing her changing goals as uncertainty, she began to recognize them as different expressions of the same deeper passion. Her educational journey reflected that commitment. Anne studied Medical Science at the University of Sydney and later completed a Bachelor of Science (Medical Science) with Honours. Her research project focused on bovine embryo development, and she graduated with First Class Honours while also receiving the University of Sydney Dean of Science Award.
At the same time, Anne continued exploring communication and education outside traditional academic settings. She worked as an English teacher in Taiwan, tutored children both online and in person, and later held several content-focused roles that sharpened her storytelling and strategic communication skills.
A Turning Point That Changed Everything
Although women’s health had long been a recurring theme in Anne’s life, her PCOS diagnosis in 2025 transformed her interest into action. For years, she had experienced irregular periods without understanding the underlying cause. Like many women, she discovered there was limited awareness around PCOS in schools and public conversations. The experience left her frustrated by how difficult it had been to access information that could have helped her much earlier.
“It took me almost 10 years to get diagnosed with PCOS, largely due to the lack of awareness and education about PCOS in schools.”
Rather than keeping that frustration private, Anne turned it into motivation. She launched the organization, “Spill Her Tea” with the goal of making women’s health education “juicy, fun and accessible.” Through podcasts, social media content, and future digital resources, she hopes to create conversations that feel approachable instead of intimidating.
Spill Her Tea also reflects Anne’s belief that education should create real-world impact beyond awareness alone. A percentage of profits from her upcoming period health card game will be donated to UNFPA to provide dignity kits for women living in crisis situations.
Building a Career Around Communication and Care
What makes Anne’s work distinctive is how she combines science, storytelling, and direct care into one interconnected career. Alongside running Spill Her Tea, she works as a freelance women’s health content creator and ghostwriter, helping women’s health brands and founders communicate important topics in more engaging ways. Her storytelling abilities have also been shaped by experiences outside traditional healthcare spaces. She self-published two children’s books through Amazon KDP Publishing, worked as a UGC creator for brands, and even performed as a wedding singer. For Anne, these creative pursuits are not distractions from her professional work, they are part of what makes her approach more human and multidimensional.
As she explained, “Making my own children’s books taught me to push my creative boundaries and express complex concepts in a visual way, performing as a singer taught me how to have the confidence to put myself out there.”
At the same time, Anne pursued certification as both a birth doula and postnatal doula through the Doula Training Organisation of Australia. Based in Sydney, she now supports individuals and families throughout pregnancy, birth, and postpartum recovery. Her approach to doula work reflects the same values that shape her educational platform: empathy, accessibility, and informed support. Drawing from her medical science background, Anne provides research-backed guidance while also emphasizing emotional support and non-judgmental care.
“Everyone has different preferences, so ultimately, YOU get to decide what type of support you would like from me.” For Anne, supporting women goes beyond providing information. It is about helping people feel heard, respected, and confident in their choices.
Staying Grounded in Integrity
Despite her growing visibility online and across multiple professional roles, Anne consistently returns to one principle when discussing leadership and decision-making: integrity.
“It is so important that I stay true to myself and true to my values, especially when making decisions.”
That mindset has shaped both her personal and professional growth. Anne often speaks openly about hard work, discipline, and the importance of persistence, values she learned early in life. One quote that continues to guide her comes from a Japanese saying she grew up with: “Hard work never betrays you.” She credits that philosophy for helping her maximize opportunities throughout her academic and professional journey, even during moments of uncertainty or transition.
Looking Ahead
Today, Anne continues to build Spill Her Tea while expanding its educational offerings beyond podcasts into interactive learning tools and community-focused initiatives. One of the organization’s goals is to donate seven percent of profits toward dignity kits for menstruating individuals living in crisis, reflecting her desire to combine education with meaningful impact. She also remains committed to honest storytelling online, often sharing both achievements and challenges openly with her audience. That transparency has become one of the defining characteristics of her platform and leadership style.
For Anne Chang, success has never been about fitting into a single category. Instead, her journey reflects what can happen when curiosity, lived experience, and purpose come together to create conversations that people genuinely need.
