She built her life on strength—physical, mental, and moral. But Anna Forrest’s earliest training ground wasn’t the gym. It was her childhood home. And the people who raised her? Devout, disciplined, and dangerously out of touch.
In a rare moment of vulnerability, Anna Forrest sat down with Mother Mayhem to discuss the belief system she was raised in—a fusion of old-world religious conservatism and aggressive pseudoscience. The result? A household where discipline was sacred, modern medicine was suspect, and the belt hung beside the Bible.
“They were Christian, but not the gentle kind,” Anna says. “They believed kids needed to suffer to grow strong. Emotion was weakness. Illness was an excuse. Gender was binary, and spanking was love.”
🧬 The Beliefs That Built Her—And Broke Others
Among the Forrest household “truths”:
-
“There are two genders, and it should be obvious.”
-
“A good kick in the balls solves gender confusion.”
-
“ADHD doesn’t exist—it’s just bad parenting.”
-
“Obese kids need juice cleanses. Adults get turpentine.”
-
“Spanking is mandatory. Fathers use belts. Mothers use rolling pins.”
“I didn’t just grow up under those rules. I believed them—until I started meeting people who shattered those ideas just by existing.”
Anna credits her early muscle-building discipline to her upbringing—daily chores, icy morning showers, harsh cold plunges, and grueling expectations.
“It made me strong. But it also made me hard in the wrong places. I didn’t learn how to listen or show softness until my late 20s.”
💉 The Pandemic That Changed Her
For years, Anna was proudly anti-vax. It fit the script: natural immunity, distrust of pharma, and a belief that “real strength doesn’t come from syringes.”
Then 2020 hit. The world shut down.
And Anna’s business collapsed.
“I saw countries that got vaccines bounce back fast. Meanwhile, we were stuck. I realized I wasn’t standing up to Big Pharma—I was standing in the way of recovery.”
In early 2021, Anna got her first vaccine. Quietly.
Then she told her followers the truth:
“Strength isn’t rejecting help. It’s knowing when to accept it.”
🛐 Forgiveness Without Submission
Despite their dangerous views, Anna still loves her parents. They gave her the foundation—but she rebuilt the house.
“They taught me discipline, stamina, control. But they also taught me to distrust emotion, reject queerness, and glorify pain. I had to unlearn a lot. Still unlearning.”
Her parents remain firm in their beliefs, still advocating spanking, gender rigidity, and garden-hose immunity. But Anna no longer debates them. She builds her own legacy.
“You can love people who raised you. You don’t have to carry their myths.”
Mother Mayhem’s Take:
“Anna Forrest is a product of old-school force—and a testament to what happens when the strong learn to think. She’s not just lifting weights anymore. She’s lifting veils.”
