What is the first thing you do when you wake up? 

Praise God for another day! I look at the time, go to the bathroom, check my Oura and Sleep 8 numbers, do a 5-minute breath work, listen to a praise song (usually the same one for a month), take my first sip of coffee, and settle into my morning routine … daily devotional, Bible, journal!

 

Have you ever felt genuine fulfillment? When? 

Being a mother and being the CEO of the company I founded.

 

What is your most repetitive, negative thought? 

I have not paid enough attention to the important people in my life this week.

 

What is your most repetitive, positive thought? 

God is good and in control.

 

What is one thing that surprised you about adulthood? 

That you are not actually an adult until about 50.

 

What are three things you want to put every woman onto? 

1. Ponds cream - it’s the only face cream you need and removes makeup! 

2. Blue eyeliner for brown eyes dresses up any outfit.

3. Spend money on a designer belt, and the rest of your outfit will follow.

 

Rank the following from most to least important: 

money, food, sex, love, and laughter (feel free to explain or don’t). 

love, sex=laughter, money, food

 

How has your relationship with your parents/ guardians changed in adulthood? 

I’ve learned that the older you get, the wiser you become, the less conflict you want, and the more peace you desire. Thus, in my 40s, I learned how to deal with parents (in particular, my mother) who are not likely to change. The result is that my relationship became more about unconditional love and tolerance and less about what I need from them.

 

When do you feel most like yourself? 

1. When I’m at peace and in prayer.

2. When I am in mother mode,… usually in my sweats and my hair in a ponytail, cooking for the people I love.

3. When I am in my business innovating and solving problems.  

4. When I am doing anything with my roommate from college! 

They are 4 different roles, but all the same self.

 

What is the best compliment someone has ever given you? 

Your kids are great humans!

 

How do you feel about falling in love? 

Falling in love is easy… staying in love requires a tremendous amount of patience and commitment. The love that goes under trial and comes out better is true LOVE that lasts.

 

What is one thing you’re sick of hearing?

“Woke.”

 

How often do you feel alone? 

Never.

 

What is one thing you hope everyone experiences in their lifetime? 

Feeling the unconditional love and peace of God through a relationship with Jesus Christ!

 

What is one thing you hope no one has to experience in their lifetime?

A bad marriage.

 

What is the best decision you’ve ever made? 

Going to college, where I met my husband and best friend

 

When do you feel most at ease? 

When I am working in my gifting.

 

What does having a successful life mean to you? 

ALL things working together for the good of everyone I love.


How often do you think about your body? 

Constantly.

 

When do you ask for help? 

When I need to make a reservation and when I need to fill out extended forms that are tedious.

 

What is something you feel strongly about? 

Glorifying God in my life.

 

BONUS: Tell me something good. 

I have a blessed life. I love my husband, kids, family, friends and business… I find joy in all areas of my life and am grateful for each day!
