What are three traits you are proud to possess?

I am proud of my creativity, resilience, and thoughtfulness.

What inspires you?

The amazing women who are a part of The Collective Rising's community. I am so grateful to you all! Each one of you inspires me daily to show up as my best and highest self.

What is your favorite quote and why?

I have two favorites that quickly come to mind! The first one was said by Malcom Forbes and it goes "It's always worthwhile to make others aware of their worth." I also love this line from Rudyard Kipling's poem "If" and it goes "If you can fill the unforgiving minute with sixty seconds’ worth of distance run, Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it." So often we go through life, actively avoiding the present moment. Our head is consumed by future thoughts, or perhaps, we are reminiscing about the past and "what once was." It's an unfortunate truth, but it is rare that we actually, truly, and fully show up to the present moment. The great shifts and discoveries of my life have always been triggered by a moment of presence. The present moment is a treasured gift and is all we ever actually have in any given moment. We have a choice of what to do with this gift - and what I try to do each day (and urge my community to do as well) is make the most of it.

What is your favorite phrase or saying?

"This or something better." Unfortunately, many times in life we close ourselves off from what could be amazing opportunities because we think that we have to "stick to our plan" or that "what we think we want" in that very moment is what is going to make us the happiest/most successful long term. From personal experience, I have found that some of my life's biggest blessings have had to do with things I wanted NOT happening. My advice to others is to trust that if something you wanted hasn't worked out, it is because something even better is on the way.
