Me: Spends literal months texting & filling out Doodles to find a time to hang w/ 2 girlfriends. 😵‍💫
Husband: Texts 2 guy friends at 5:13 on a Wednesday, by 6pm they're drinking beers on our stoop. 🤯

This will only be a surprise to people who don't know me personally, but just because I'm a health writer doesn't mean I want invites to cold plunges, IV drips, yoga classes, and 'consultations' involving blood draws. I really just want wine & cheese🤷‍♀️ #unpopularopinion

For my 1st Peloton story, I questioned the idea that #running is bad for your knees. Most interestingly, I learned that roads/sidewalks tend to slightly slope to help with rain runoff, so you should reverse your route to keep your body in balance 🤯 onepeloton.com/blog/is-runnin…

Just realized today is a palindrome (4/23/24) as is my name (ANNA), so it's basically my birthday. Just like anytime I see the clock hit 10:30 (my actual birthday is 10/30), I celebrate a little. Either I have no life or like to find small moments of joy. 🤷‍♀️ Gifts welcome!

So excited to go back to DC, where I started my career, in May to learn all about a favorite topic -- mental health in the workplace. Congrats to all and see you next month! #mentalhealth #careers #psychology #journalism

Reminder for journalists: look in unconventional places to diversify your sources AND get genuine answers from experts who don't talk to media all the time, if ever. Just had great interviews with a podiatrist in my triathlon club & a social worker from my book writing workshop.
