So Anna is pretty special on lots of ways, too many ways to cover off here, but what is particularly special about Anna, is that I was talking and walking with her right before I came up with the idea for This Woman's Work.
Yep, Anna was on The Body Camp with me, in Mallorca, and she was my walking buddy for the stint just before we did our 'silent hike' down; whereby left to my own thoughts, I came up with the idea for This Woman's Work.
Anna and I weren't talking about anything career-related on our hike and I think (from memory) we were simply having an honest chat about life, marriage and my ongoing divorce, however, I'm in no doubt that her innate caring and supportive attitude will have helped me.
I didn't know Anna pre Mallorca, and she was there with four of her friends (who were all as fit and hardcore as Anna was). In contrast, I was there on my own, had barely exercised in 2-years and was feeling particularly low about my divorce situation. And Anna was lovely to me, as she was to everyone at the camp. She made a point to get to know everyone and get to know everyone's story... and she'd offer the most amazing tips and advice regarding fitness, recovery and nutrition. She didn't have to do any of those things, and even though the camp encouraged us to get to know each other, and we changed partners all the time to do just that, Anna went above and beyond. Because she cares about people - she really does.
Of course we stayed in touch, and when I launched This Woman's Work, Anna was one of the first to congratulate me - and I mean really congratulate me. She messaged me all day telling me how great it was, how great I was and how proud she was of me... She was amazing and she made me properly cry that day.
Now Anna has a very busy life - her husband is busy - her 2 teenage daughters are busy - and she was frantically busy in the final stages of setting up her new Fitness Studio, 'Vibe Tribe' (insta below). And yet she still took quite a lot of time out of her day on October the 15th, to support me and big me up. I'll never forget that.
Needless to say, the least I could so was nag (and nag) Anna to sit and chat with me for the podcast, and of course, through that, help to promote her new venture as well... Women supporting women, right?!
Enjoy.
