In an interview with the Los Angeles Times, Moss said: "I had my children, fell in love with mothering, yet couldn't find what I was looking for in terms of support or community. It felt isolating. I couldn't find 'my people.' " She founded Annapurna Living so that other mothers could find their community. At Annapurna Living's website, online courses are taught by Moss on how to live an extremely thoughtful and considerate life, offering a helping hand to women who are struggling to cope with the stresses and pace of the modern world and how it relates to being a wife and mother.
