Annaliese shares intimate details from her experience on reality TV and how being painted into a certain character lead to a difficult identity crisis after leaving the show. As well, the two women talk about fitting in, moving through a break-up, starting over, joining The Chopra Global organization, growing up with neuro-diversity and ultimately un-writing and rewriting your personal narrative.

Anna was born with a deep fascination for letters - a fascination that deepened when she discovered those letters could turn into words, those words into sentences and those sentences into stories. Not surprisingly, Anna graduated from The University of Victoria, with a Degree in both English and Gender Studies, fuelling her eventual mission to put the power of words back into the hands of women.

Despite multiple other certifications along the way, including one with world-renowned author and personal transformation pioneer, Deepak Chopra, it was ultimately her personal battle with post-traumatic stress, depression and anxiety that became the catalyst for the work she does now, as she helps pave the way for others to live with vulnerability and courage whether they are online, offline or on stage.
