Anna shares her incredible journey from being a full-time teacher and jewelry entrepreneur to becoming a leading UGC expert and mentor. She delves into the accidental discovery of User-Generated Content (UGC) while on maternity leave, her decision to leave her stable teaching career to pursue UGC full-time, and how she built a dual-faceted business that balances brand collaborations with coaching everyday women to launch their own lucrative content creation careers.

Anna provides a transparent look at the realities of building a content business, debunking the "get rich quick" myths often seen online.
