How I Switched Careers from TV News Anchor to Entrepreneur and Fitness Trainer

Motherhood has created the biggest identity shift of my life. Can you relate?

Between our new responsibilities, the hormone shifts, the body changes, and on and on and on.

I also had a major identity shift going from successful television host in New York City to mamma, entrepreneur, and women’s fitness trainer.

It has NOT been an easy transition. But it feels like the right one.

If you would like to hear about what this transition has been like for me - and why my work is enriching my life - please listen to my guest appearance on Michelle Boyde’s Floetic podcast, The WEL. I hope it inspires you to follow your heart.

Healthy Lasagne Recipe to Try Tonight

Do you love lasagne as much as I do!?!

I make this healthy lasagne every few weeks. It is pasta free and low carb (if you're watching that)... and so yummy. I use eggplant and zucchini in place of pasta sheets…. and reduced fat cottage cheese instead of fatty ricotta cheese… and light mozzarella in place of full fat mozzarella.

WATCH VIDEO

It is also packed with lean protein and veggies... So quite filling!

DOWNLOAD FREE RECIPE

I often make two of them. I'll pop one in the freezer to take out for an easy dinner on a hectic night... or share with a friend in need!

Please use my recipes as a guide. Make it your own by adding your FAV veggies.

Tag me on Instagram if you decide to make it! @annakooiman & @strongsexymammas
