And this is what lights my soul on fire...
Doing this work.
It not only sets my soul on fire, it sets my pants on fire! I know without a shadow of a doubt THIS IS WHAT I WAS MEANT TO DO. There’s no separation between me and my job – my work is an extension of my values, beliefs and purpose.
Conversations with good people about important things.
THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE THINGS IN LIFE! Eleanor Roosevelt said it best: “Great minds discuss ideas; average minds discuss events; small minds discuss people.” I’m not saying I’m a great mind – it’s just that learning and big ideas light me up!
☕️ Strong, black coffee.
Having this first thing in the morning brings me an insane amount of joy. (Sometimes at night I get giddy because I’m so excited for it.) I love the smell, the taste, and the nice little boost of energy and productivity.
Hanging with my friends and community.
I’m a total extrovert and love being around the energy of people and urban centers. I like to be where the action is!
Being outside in the sun and warm weather.
I am solar powered and being outside (if it's warm) is my happy place. Of the entire United States, we chose to move to San Diego because of the great weather year round.
Journaling.
I love the insights I learn about myself, the world, my business, my relationships… I’m who I’m spending my whole life with, so I should make sure I know myself and what I need to thrive. I’m more at peace and the day is always better when I journal.
Growing and learning.
My latest hobbies are Japanese taiko drumming (shout out to San Diego Taiko!) and improv classes. I was an aerialist for years and can also weld, sew, bellydance, bullwhip, dance, basket weave, play the flute, and a bunch of other random skills. You never know when these things might come in handy 😜
Workouts that make me really uncomfortable.
I appreciate them because I know they’re pushing my limits and making me stronger. I know if I can make it through that, I can make it through just about anything. It’s a huge foundation to my sense of confidence.
Being a mother and a wife.
To be completely honest, I’m still surprised at how much I love being a mother. It’s the most profound and important job I’ve ever had. I’m so proud of who my daughter Bella has become and the close relationship we have. And my wife Tiffany is my favorite person on this whole entire planet (and I’ve met a lot of people!). I never believed in soul mates or past lives until I met her. And we have THE MOST fun together – our specialty is being idiots.
