Anna is Stan's lovable and energetic wife, who believes 100% in his ability to become a great "life boss". Sure, he's actually a life coach and sure, she doesn't really understand what that's supposed to be – but it doesn't matter. It's his dream and she supports him. In fact, she was supporting the two of them until Stan landed his first and only client -- Millie.

Anna runs her own business as a gardener and corporate botanist. Stan's involvement with Millie leads to Anna getting the contract to look after the plants in the Haddison House building. She loves her work, loves her life and loves her husband. But why does she love such a schnook? Well, Anna sees Stan – and everything else – from her own unique perspective. This helps a lot when Millie's "hiccups" occur at all hours of the day and night and Stan (and therefore Anna) are on call.
