“A lot of my life over the last decade has been work, recover, work, recover.
That doesn’t leave much room for anything else.
That’s the mindset and the reality for a lot of people.
You work and then recover so you could work some more.
Putting some fun and silliness into my life is one of my goals.”
Here’s how she follows her own happy, healthy path, Anna style.

“My favorite food is macaroni and cheese.
Carbs and dairythat’s the kind of life I’m all about.
And I definitely do like sweets.
There was a period when I baked a lot.
Any recipe that was advanced, I would spend days working on it, trying to get it right.
So then I’d give the rest away.”
Devout Ginger Lover, That’s Me
“I ampowered by ginger.
I keep wellness shots of ginger, lemon, and cayenne from Pressed Juicery in my fridge.
If I’m traveling and I can’t have ginger, I’ll feel sick.
Long Live Leggings!
I can go into the world in a stretch top and sweatpants, and it’s fashion.
I live for that.
I want to tell this generation: Never look back.
hey don’t return to the dark age of low-rise jeans.
That was a hateful time, and we don’t need to go there again.”
Women are so much better at dealing with challenging, complicated situations because conflict is about emotions.
And it does start to feel like a superpower.
In my experience,emotional intelligenceis one of the only things that really matters.”
