KEY TAKEAWAYS:

• I’m an introvert, so I’m not protesting in the streets but I still want to contribute to the movement, so how can I use my talents to help the movement? 
• I grew up in Barbados, and my upbringing was soft. I was driven to school, and it was safe, no bullying. The island closed down at noon to 1p, and the entire island would rest. This informs how I show up in my life. 
• Soft centered serine life: Life work balance vs. Work life balance. Life has to come first. Include a strong sense of self and a group of people to support you. 
• It can’t be work life balance, what if you lose your job. Then what? This can’t be the center. You have to be the center. Your wants, needs, health, happy, must be centered for you and then there’s everything else. 
• When I think of balance everything isn’t always 50/50... sometimes it’s 70/30. 
• I love to speak with people who are thinkers because they make you think more. 
• I love words. I had to delete 30,000 words from my book. I called my dad and sister for advice. They said to eliminate the breathing exercises and meditation prompts, but I couldn’t... that’s my book! I edited another way. 
• Anyone that’s stressed, sometimes you need someone to say I understand, here’s something that you can do. We’re not use to people offering help. This is what this book (Space to Exhale) is for. Let me help uplift you. 
• I have difficulty prioritizing, I call someone to help me prioritize (do the least and get the most benefit from).  
• The work is always going to be there, but the people and moments are gone. You can’t get them back. 
• I have a Budda sitting under the tree as inspiration. That is not me... I have some wisdom, but I am not perfect.
