BONUS Interview Questions:

What makes you…

Feel good: Watching my dog run around and play   

Feel right: Sovereignty and personal freedom are extremely important to me and built into my life and work.   

Feel bad: Overworking and not listening to my body.          

What would you like people to know about your daily life?

That it's flexible and rooted in listening to my body and what she needs.  

What kind of support do you get from family or friends?

Husband, coaching, therapy  

Has your experience turned into advocacy on a larger scale? If so, in what way?

My experience with disordered eating and body image struggles led me to doing the work I do today    

Personal meaningful quote: “Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure." Marianne Williamson

Best Investment: My dog - it's weird to think of him as investment but he's changed my life for the better.       

Habits that help: My daily spiritual practice of prayer, reading and journaling      

It's allowed me to become more resilient and I no longer believe in failure in the traditional sense - only feedback.

What have you learned to say “No” to?: Diets, diets, diets! All the diets!

Also to invitations - knowing that when I don't honor my no that builds resentment which is actually worse for my relationships than not having my physical presence at the event.

Message for all those youngins out there:

You deserve to set boundaries with your work, don't buy into hustle culture to get ahead. I would tell them to ignore that it's all about "hardwork" because I think that leads to burn out and illness.       

Best purchase at $100 or less: It's not $100 or less, but my backyard furniture that allows me to comfortably work outside.

Books to recommend: Intuitive Eating, The Universal Christ, Untamed      

Fun(nny) Fact: I make up songs about my dog.        

Favorite activity: Hosting a group of friends and cooking them an amazing dinner.          

Favorite message to self: I am worthy, enough and valuable just as I am.
