Hello! I'm Anna.
Curious about me? Let's go...
This right here is my boardroom look. Proof that I’m a grown-ass woman and a real-life professional. But make no mistake — The Greatest by Sia is always on repeat, and these feet are always game to move.
I’ve spent decades helping people move forward in their careers — guiding them toward clarity, confidence, and fresh momentum. But what most people don’t know is that I’ve also been a fitness instructor since 2011. Movement has always been my way of connecting, uplifting, and waking people up to what’s possible.
Then life happened — a major injury, the pandemic, and a long stretch where I stepped away from teaching. But the pull toward movement never left.
Somewhere in that quiet space, I realized a truth I couldn’t ignore: the next bold move in midlife isn’t just about work. It’s about moving our bodies, shifting our mindset, and raising our energy.
After decades of coaching, consulting, facilitating, and “what now?” moments, I realized I didn’t just want to talk about momentum — I wanted to create it again.
That’s how STRUT was reborn. It's a return to my roots, and a reminder that it’s never too late to move forward with power, joy, and intention.
The STRUT Story.
From Success to Something More
There was a time when success meant climbing ladders and chasing greatness.
Now, it means revitalizing our lives — reclaiming who we are and who we want to be.
It’s about living and working with intention.
Choosing purpose over power, and connection over competition.
The Movement Behind STRUT
I created STRUT as a space where movement meets mindset — where midlife women rediscover their rhythm, strength, and spark.
The STRUT Experience blends movement, reflection, and connection to help women build confidence and energy from the inside out.
It’s equal parts sweat, soul, and sisterhood — because confidence isn’t something you think your way into. It’s something you move your way into.
The Roots That Keep Me Grounded
At first, it felt like stepping off the edge of a cliff.
Was this the right thing to do? Would it make sense? Would people think I’d lost it?
But then I realized something:
I didn’t leave my professional background behind — I brought it with me, in sneakers.
With over 25 years of experience in career and workforce development, I’ve helped thousands of people navigate change and reinvention.
- Certified Career Development Professional (CCDP)
- Speaker, Trainer, and Consultant for national initiatives
- Fitness Instructor Specialist (FIS) and lifelong advocate for active living
That mix of experience — from boardrooms to bootcamps — taught me that movement isn’t just physical. It’s the way we lead, connect, and live with purpose.
The Runway
Today, through The STRUT Experience, STRUT Circles, and a growing online community, I’m helping women in midlife reconnect with their confidence, clarity, and joy — one powerful step at a time.
Because midlife isn’t a crisis.
It's a catalyst. It's a launch. It’s a runway. 👠
How do I know?
Like you (vintage 1975 over here!) I'm just getting started...
