How do you describe yourself in three words?
Optimistic, Empowering, Energetic
Do you have a female idol? If so, why?
My female members of my online studio. They are brave, warm, kind, and welcoming. Its an energetic exchange between us. They constantly uplift and inspire me!
Daily Mantra?
That depends on the day. Either “You can do hard things” or “Stay consistent.”
Breakdown of your morning routine?
6 links of Jones’ Chicken Sausage followed by four eggs on a slice of sourdough toast with microgreens an hour later. (I like the way I feel when I eat within 45 minutes of being awake.) Morning sunshine in my eyes outside right after my teeth are brushed. Sometimes morning meditation standing in the sunshine, other times in my red light therapy on my meditation cushion. Then my contacts and doTERRA and KORA skin care.
One wellness tip you don’t want to gate keep?
It’s cheaper to be healthy than it is to be unhealthy. It’s never too late to start moving and eating more mindfully. Be sure to move your body physically everyday by walking AND eat adequate amounts of protein and fiber-rich carbs to maintain your muscles and a happy gut.
