Hi, I'm Anna!

The first thing I ever wanted to be was a writer. I had big dreams, and an even bigger imagination. It took me over 3 decades to finally achieve that goal. Besides having fulfilled my inner child's wildest dream, my first book is dedicated to making sure your dreams don’t take 30+ years to accomplish -- Phew!
I live for big ideas, bold goals, and making things happen—but my greatest adventure is motherhood. My son, Maddox, keeps life hilarious and my heart full. He is my favorite person in the world. We share our home with his fur sisters, Ru, the sweetest dog ever, and Livy, our resident sour-patch cat who thinks she runs the house (and truth, she might). Together, we embrace life’s sweet journey, and wouldn’t have it any other way!
As a multi-passionate person and solo parent, I know all too well what it’s like to juggle a million things at once, trying to stay on top of life, work, parenting, and big ambitions. However, I severely struggled with follow-through on most of it. I desperately wanted to curate my life rather than just have one thrown at me. But, I needed a system to keep all of my goals organized so I could follow through and actually make progress—something that made goal-setting feel like an experience, not a chore.
Traditional planners felt too rigid or short lived. I would suck all of the dopamine out of them by planning big things, but when there weren't any more stickers to stick or doodles to dood, nothing else would draw me back to the plan. It would go onto my shelf and collect dust, never feel my warmth upon it again.
So, I built the system I wish I had—a workbook that helps you reflect, set clear and meaningful goals, and actually stay motivated to achieve them. I then decided to create The Monthly Momentum planners to capture the system I teach you in the workbook. They keep you in the present moment, keep you accountable and inspired to revisit your plan each and every day! These planners will truly keep your goals right at your fingertips!
Whether you’re a busy parent, ambitious entrepreneur, creative dreamer, or just someone who’s tired of setting the same goals year after year, these books are designed to help you make things happen -- Without the overwhelm!
So, let’s plan smart, dream big, and get stuff done!
With Love,
Anna Barnes
