About Me

Howdy, I’m Anna. It’s nice to see you!

I’ve been a lot of things in my life, from reckie camp counsellor, to book buyer for all of Canada, to tech start-up sales and marketing wiz. The one thing that has always stuck is that I am a writer, storyteller and entertainer.

I’m most known for being the person who anyone can take on a social outing and feel like I can carry the conversation even when things get a wee bit awkward.

My parents refer to me a “girl” but my friends know me as Anna. I once wanted to change my legal name to Annabelle but that wore off eventually.

I am wife to Luke, who also works in the tech world at a company called Swift Labs as a Hardware Designer. We’ve been together for 10 years this year which proves time flies when you’re having fun.

I am also fur-mama to Piper the golden retriever. We never realized how much one puppy could simultaneously bring so much happiness and so much work into our lives until the day she arrived.

When I’m not blogging about my experiences, you’ll find me at Voltera doing very cool marketing things and helping the sales team be enabled.

I wake up excited for what the world has thrown our way the night before and I also am the type of person who would like to teleport myself the second I’m ready for the day. I do not wake up, leisurely read and drink my coffee–that’s just not me. I jump out of bed and am at work within the hour.

I’m definitely an extroverted introvert. I love to read, but being around people who I can connect with on a deeper level is bliss for me. I’m not scared to go deep and superficial conversations tire me out.

I love helping people in any way I can which is what inspired me to start writing this blog. What started as Instagram stories has turned into a blog since so many people have reached out and asked for more information on the things I pop into Instagram to tell people about.

I am totally into:

  • creating a clean lifestyle free of nasty chemicals and pesticides
  • encouraging everyone to be more loving, compassionate and understanding of one another and the world we live in
  • connecting with people looking for new things to learn
  • learning how to be a better marketer, human, and friend (not necessarily in that order)
  • leadership, personal growth, self-improvement and a growth mindset

This blog inspires me to give people the tools and resources they need to take a hold of life and move forward out of the stuck place they may be sitting in whether it’s unhealthy choices you’re making with food, understanding who you are as a person, moving out of negative ways of thinking, etc. I’m here to inspire you to live freely!

If you’ve made it all the way to the bottom and you still want to chat more about this, find me on Instagram anna_aldred and slide into my DMs with your questions.
