In each day that we are alive, can you tell us what are the three things you are grateful for?
My children, they are my true north. My marriage, a co-pilot in this life is a wonderful thing. My business aka my firstborn: it has given me the gift of knowledge, growth, security, and blessings.
Favorite type of music?
All the Georges: From George Harrison to George Michael, if a George is singing I will most likely be indulging.
Who would you switch lives with for one day if you could?
I’d love to experience a day in the life of Richard Branson!
Name the biggest pet peeve you have. It can be anything and it’s no holds-barred.
People that navigate life with an insatiable attitude for power and control. People that have to be right all the time—how exhausting. Fail, but fail better. Also, if you are eating a banana near me you are the spawn of Satan—haha!
How do you psyche yourself up for the day ahead?
Cuddles with the family; all my kids bundle into bed with me and my husband early doors and I just love it. Then coffee—I have to put my oxygen mask on before helping others. I love listening to a good podcast during the drive to the office; I love Emma Grede as she is a London girl in LA (like me!) just killing the game. Listening to others in their pursuit and examples of success sets the tone for a great day ahead!
Go-to products in your bag that you can’t live without?
SPF. Notebook. Wallet, obviously. Phone. Some type of snack!
How do you use Sundays to de-stress from work?
A Sunday well spent brings a week of content! I have to clean my house top to bottom and do all the laundry before I can relax. When the chores are done, sitting in my garden that attracts white doves (really!), butterflies, and hummingbirds while sipping a glass of wine and watching my kids play is a little slice of heaven. It is a good reminder of what is really important: family, rest, reward, and appreciation for all that has been cultivated through years of sweat equity.
How would you describe yourself?
Iconic. Ha! One of a kind, and that applies to literally everyone; there is no other me and there is no other you. I am content. I am grateful. I am proud. I am driven. I am generous. I am here!
What is your biggest weakness and strength?
Knowing when to shut off; I am constantly in work mode as a self-made entrepreneur and finding a rhythm that complements this stage of my life—aka a working mother—that has been hard to balance. My strength is everything I do, I do it for my family. I have grit by the bucket load. When I set my mind to something, good luck stopping me.
What’s your hidden and weird talent that no one, not even your partner knows about?
When I figure this out I will likely just take it to the grave with me.
What is a trend that you wish to obliterate forever?
Tanning beds. Beef tallow. We can do better, people.
The best compliment you ever got from anyone?
My husband told me once he thought I was his gift from God. That he prayed for it and then he got me. How sweet is that? Also what do you want lol.
