1.What ritual do you have for starting your day?
As soon as I wake up I set a 5 minute timer and free-write in my journal. This serves as a way to dump all my thoughts, feelings, anxieties and just get all the bullshit out of the way immediately! Next, I write 3 things I’m Grateful for and set 3 daily intentions. Then, I read through my goals and affirmations (I have them all written down on one piece of paper that I use as a bookmark in my journal). Finally, I do an 8-12 minute meditation. Altogether, this ritual only takes 20-25 minutes each morning.
2. What 3 books do you think everyone should read?
Ask and it is Given by Abraham Hicks, The Happiness Advantage by Shawn Achor, and Bella Figura by Kamin Mohammadi.

8. How do you nurture your self esteem?
I’m BIG on self love affirmations. I have a bunch of them. I recite them morning and evening and I have them written on sticky notes around my house. When I feel in need of extra nurturing, I actually dedicate a journal to writing down and reframing all of my self-judgments. I’ll write down whatever negative thoughts I have about myself as they come up. Then I will immediately cross the thought out, and rewrite another thought that actually supports me.
9. What do you do when you need to recharge?
I take myself out to dinner. Solo dinner dates are one of my favorite things. Whenever I’m feeling stuck or antsy or burnt out...this is my go to! I bring a book and a journal and turn my phone on airplane mode so I can be fully present.
