Here are some of my most popular essays:


Hi, I’m Anna

I’m a writer, coach, and creative mentor for ambitious ADHD women who are ready to stop pushing so hard and start living in deeper alignment with their desires.

I work with women who are unraveling burnout, untangling old patterns, and trying to create something beautiful and true to themselves, not just what they see on Pinterest and Instagram.

I spent years trying to *fix myself* with productivity hacks, diets, workout plans, spiritual tools, and every self-help book I could get my hands on… but the real healing didn’t come from optimizing and therapy — it came from putting my phone down and actually living the clunky, sensual, awkward, beautiful real life I was put on earth to live.

Grab my audio course The 17 Principles of Soft Ambition for just $27. It’s designed to help ambitious, creative women leave the burnout, self-betrayal and bitterness behind to create a life that supports your dreams, ease, and pleasure.
