I’m a new poster, a friend sent me to this thread. I don’t think all of the snark Anna is receiving really captures how malicious she actually is. I was friends with her, pretty closely actually, and she is vengeful and rly just uses people to get to where she wants. I haven’t seen her in over 5 years (right after she divorced Tim) and it’s clear she’s gone from bad to worse.
She would tell at Tim in public, constantly disparaging him, and anyone who didn’t bow down to her was an enemy. She is textbook narcissist, and her own post on her own blog about having 12 bridesmaids to 0 is about the most accurate thing I’ve ever seen her post - she’s lost nearly all of her friendships to date. The only real friends she has are people that either don’t know her well or have known her so long it’s a sunk cost. I haven’t met Tim’s fiance but I have heard Anna is quite hostile and unreasonable. I don’t know specifics but it sounds so bad (hence, the podcasts). From personal experience, Anna is never one to want to compromise - so i do wonder how her beautiful coparentint dynamic is going to weather! |

| Every single post is about herself. I feel bad because this definitely supports the above of not having friends or people to have any kind of regular conversation with |

Well, it seems she married a new, older dude that she can easily manipulate. I have been following this thread for a while. I am getting tired of not being able to do anything but snark here. Some questions I have are… is there any way to sue her for misrepresenting herself? Could her ex step up in court to sue her for libel? Does she have a legitimate business license? Does she have insurance (I hope so for her!). What licenses does she have? Are her children safe in her home? I hear all the concerns and share them. I’m wondering what to do next. |

| Retweet. I think while we all are just flabbergasted by this woman and everything about her, at the end of the day she has two kids and this is all concerning behavior. What can be done, and by whom, is not my place to say. Perhaps her ex will get so tired of her he will do something, but it seems he takes the path of least resistance so I’m not hold in my breath. |

This all feels a bit step too far. Anna is a grifter and annoying but you don't have to have a license to be a coach so she's not doing anything illegal and it isn't illegal to be an overdramatic narcissistic who makes up texts and stories about fake clients. Mark seems like a dumb dude who likes boobs and porn but that doesn't mean the kids are unsafe. I'm so down to snark on them but this becoming a place to schmeme a take-down feels off. Yes it's hard to watch Tim's passivity with her but that is his problem to solve. |

| I agree that legal pursuits feel extreme, unless someone here who knows the situation personally thinks the kids in the home are being harmed. |

| Coaching is an unregulated industry. We all could call ourselves coaches. It being borderline scammy (ie a total waste of time and money but still legal) isn’t something that can be shut down by authorities—her clients would have to do that with bad reviews. And she’s a narcissist but how do you think that means her kids aren’t safe in her home? I was raised by one and while I still have some issues, I was never call-CPS-unsafe. Being annoying isn’t a crime lol. |

| Agreed. She’s a terrible person and a narcissist and will likely cause her kids emotional damage, but nothing that can be prevented from a legal perspective. I would argue anyone in this persons orbit is subject to emotional and psychological abuse, but unfortunately that is not a crime (I don’t think). It is extremely sad for her kids though. So crazy that her husband is a therapist nd she is so obviously mentally unwell. |

| Does anyone google her prior to hiring her? Likely they’d see this and/or the Reddit thread re podcast drama? How does she explain that? |

Anna's latest video is just more of the same, holding her relationship up as the gold standard, and her life and choices the ultimate in gettting it right so that she can help you get what she has. She's been married for all of two years now? Their marriage has very little stress because Mark doesn't parent his kids and every other week she doesn't parent hers and yet she also still talks about how much they fight (which feels like her trying to convince herself it's healthy). She sends her kids off to camp all summer while they vacation. I have low confidence this marriage will last real stress or simply the inevitable issues that creep into a long-term relationship. Most people have a good marriage year two. Talk to me in 15 years when some real life has happened.
She also doesn't understand that people are looking for coaches and therapists with actual expertise and skills, not just someone whose credentials are being delusional about how great their (still new) marriage is and thinking that everyone wants exactly that. Also I find it very weird that she is so centered on getting people into a new relationship. Very little focus on personal growth or healing. This latest video is such an example. Her messaging is always "let's get you into a new, better relationship" and not "let's get you healthy on your own." It screams codependence which I am sure she projects onto her clients (if she really has any). I think the people she would appeal to as a coach are the people who are absolutely terrified of being alone, and she will just reinforce that for them. |

| What would happen if people called her out on her actual posts instead of here. |

Do you mean on her own social media? I think that’s what you mean. Huh. I’d bet cash money she’s deleting anything negative. |
