She is just in it to make money and get adoration from vulnerable struggling working class mums. She is so boring with her daily montage of stories telling people what she has been upto.

I agree she is definitely an addict!!

She is very dull.

As for being an addict; i think most of these influencers are. A lot of social media use is an addiction in itself.

Is Anna an addict? Discuss.

Everything is a half admission, wrapped in a ditsy distraction. Admits she is a little controlling. Admits she is a perfectionist but is quite comfy with this (in a cute/Monica type way).

Impression created - she is obsessed with what she looks like and despite the facade, she tries exceptionally hard - all the time - to look damn hot. She is so keen to pretend it’s effortless.

For example - the casual admitting to liking a bit of make-up to cheer herself up.

Make-up, I suspect, is the tip of the iceberg. I imagine there is intense control around food, alcohol, exercise, home furnishings. There is much double bluffing going on with this lady..

She is not daft - she is highly intelligent. But she is searching for people to notice her, to love her, to validate her. She wants more and more and more. It will never be enough.

It seems unimaginable to me that her husband is not fully under the tent on what she posts. She creates another false impression - that we somehow have this special, private insight into her marriage.

All balls. Everything is staged. Planned. Executed meticulously. From camera angles, to messy backdrops, to beautiful backdrops.

Smart girl. But perhaps also an addict.
yes all this and deeply needy. This craving for validation maybe even has shades of narcissism. Whatever it is there’s a lot of smoke and mirrors, I wouldn’t believe a word that comes out of her mouth.

There’s a photo on her grid that really bothers me. She’s cuddling her kid and you can see the back of his head with her admiring herself in her camera.

I was very surprised (but not surprised IYSWIM). She’s pretending to be so in the movement and natural, yet is just waiting to pounce on any insta moment to pop it on the gram. Pathetic. Especially for a counsellor running a “people pleasing” course - c’mon! What a joke.

She paints this picture that she’s a struggling mum of 3 struggling with day to day house running, struggling with mental health, every outing has some sort of car drama but in reality she’s a well off (not that it matters hugely) highly educated, very shrew business woman and the fact she’s preying on vulnerability makes my blood boil! I used to really like her and now I’ve had my eyes opened - she has a lot of help but she doesn’t show it she wants to show the struggle and it’s making me raw!

She is a very wealthy privileged and lucky girl who tries so hard to relate to the average mum struggling to make ends meet.

Here is an example of Anna just moaning about something in life and playing up the anxiety...
She has a £750 John Lewis lamp in her living room but Anna would never mention it. She would happily story all day about how Florence cried in the car though....

All while setting a camera up to take a picture of a “completely natural” pose.

before insta and fb, you’d never dream of seeing people do this. It’s not natural. It’s simply bonkers.

I suppose it’s where they make their cash.

It's bizzare how people set up a stage at home and then capture themselves to post on an app with an even bizzare caption. And to think these are grown up adults!

And this hotel has starting prices from £700-£1500 per night so it's hardly your average night away from kids. If you spend £1500 on a night away then you don't want to just spend it rolling on the bed. She is such a liar!!

I find the subtle (deliberate) ‘daddy issue’ referencing an interesting one. She may well give us more glimpses into this over time, but in half admissions and half truths. Whatever she chooses to reveal, it will reflect well on her It certainly will not dim the beautiful aesthetic of her brand.

Anyone who has to post endless pictures of their material possessions is a social climber. I suspect this is where much of her insecurity comes from. Note her accent changes on a daily basis.

But if she could be honest about who she really truly is, it might be more endearing. Or dull? Who knows.

So if you have expensive lamps you can’t also find it stressful if your baby cries all day? 🤔

You can but maybe you can be grateful for things in your life and mention them once in a while rather than moaning and whinging every single day on every single post she posts on her feed? Have you read any posts from ana where she actually acknowledges her privileges and blessings material or not in life and says let's take a minute and be grateful? It might just be an expensive lamp but you can be thankful for it and be happy than find things around you to complain about such as a whinging baby? Everyone has kids who cry or things that don't go our way in life but we try to look at a more positive outlook in life which may be a material possession or not, don't we?

And her whole mantra of instead of moaning I’ve got to do this, I get to do this etc. Be thankful and grateful. I can’t believe I used to like her, if I look at her posts and I get irritated with her preaching. I don’t follow her and definitely don’t miss her. Don’t know if I hate more Insta huns flogging their clothes and kids alongside or her flogging her book and ‘mental health awareness’

I bought her anxiety course last year. I even paid full price for it as could afford to afford to at the time - she offered half price to those who couldn’t, and it was complete waste of time and money. I ended up going to see a therapist which was much more worth while. I kick myself now for giving her my cash!

Sorry to hear that.
And I feel there might be many more people like you. I think it’s immoral the way she sells this on Instagram. I know some will claim she helped them but it’s dangerous for those thinking that purchasing her course or book will help them when it most likely won’t if you are really struggling.

I can’t make up my mind about her. I like that she doesn’t do a lot of ads, just self-promotion. But her eldest sounds like a really high-maintenance whinging brat. Whenever he’s in the background of her stories he’s always screeching like a bloody banshee. Also find it hard to relate to her struggles when they can clearly live very well of her husbands income alone, yet she chooses to work (admittedly from home quite a lot) but is always harping on about what a hardship motherhood is? If you find it such a struggle love, leave your work for a few years, prioritise your children, and quit whinging about it 🤷‍♀️

If you choose to work when financially you don’t need to, please don’t have the gall to preach to me about how hard the juggle of work and parenting is!

I also bought the course and didn’t find it very helpful - it felt like armchair psychology at best.

Leaving aside some of her addictive and narcissistic tendencies, I think she imagines she does care about others. And she does care about her own kids(of course). So of course, nothing is black and white.

However and it is a big however, it does look like she is fleecing less fortunate, less educated, less privileged women. As a previous poster said, charging ludicrous prices for self help booklets when you can spend a tenner on a full book on Amazon.

Granted it’s expensive to see a therapist one on one. But perhaps she imagines she can commoditise an entire profession...?

But how ludicrous for people to buy into this? Beyond some basic general advice that you can read in many places, ie ‘love yourself/be kind/let go of others expectations’ - the whole point of therapy is the context of you, your life, all the things that make your experience different from the next. It is a deeply intimate unwrapping of who you are.

Sadly, if it’s done at a skin deep level, ie., a social media level, i think it can be more damaging than not. I can’t imagine Ana believes her followers read her course/her posts/even buy the darn book and then leave her site. She knows they won’t, she knows she has them where she wants them. Searching for more Ana therapy.

Our personalities, our context, is what leads us to how we behave and lead our lives. And our contexts are as different as our individual personality.

Yes there are things that make us very similar but she is praying on the very thing that makes her different to her followers - ‘ i got this... by the way..I have a beautiful house, beautiful little kids, a fabulous husband BUT...listen to me...you can be like me too..if you buy my brand.’

If her backdrop was different - ie, not a very beautiful house, money actually being a bit tight, no domestic help or childcare, no time for exercise and glamming up (as knackered and feeling exhausted) it would be a very different fan base.

Anyway, I am stating the blooming obvious. Rant over. Nearly - charging what she has charged is not on. And I can’t imagine the British Psychological Society would be thrilled.
