As Annie approaches 60, this episode is both her story and reflections on the lessons she has learned. Listen as Annie shares her story of growing up in poverty with an alcoholic mother and how it spurred her to find her passion. And how she uses her passion for good, inspiring others to live healthy lives and seek the positives in life and exercise.
