My favorite escape…
so many places it’s so hard. Paris for a romantic escape. There is something so magical about it. Hawaii for a tropical escape. Sedona for a local escape.
My life…
has always been go-go-go, honestly sometimes wanted it to go by faster because I always wanted to get to the next phase or the next plan, but now I live my life to be slower and more present.
I’m currently working on…
workshops and relaunching my online course this spring before the baby comes!
Always…
love your body and appreciate your health. Going through health problems the last few years I have never been more grateful for my health and wish I wouldn’t have taken it for granted.
Never…
forget where you’ve come and how far you’ve come. Stay humble.
Favorite Quote…
“Be stronger than your strongest excuse.”

live abroad.
