Q & A

What inspired you to quit drinking alcohol?

I was inspired after watching a video that highlighted how we often associate celebrations with alcohol, but it also harms our bodies and minds. It made me reflect on whether alcohol was aligned with the person I wanted to become, and I chose to stop drinking for better mental clarity and physical health.

How did quitting alcohol affect you?

After quitting alcohol, I noticed a huge difference in my life. I felt mentally clearer, I started sleeping better, my skin improved, and I learned how to be more present without needing to escape or numb myself with substances.

What does your daily meditation practice entail?

I meditate for at least five minutes every day. During this time, I focus on my breath and allow my thoughts to come and go. It has helped me ground myself, observe my thoughts, and become more capable of handling life’s challenges.

Why did you stop drinking coffee, and what do you drink now?

I stopped drinking coffee because I realized I was over-relying on it for energy, especially with all the sugar in my creamer. After quitting, I felt better physically, especially in my skin and digestion. Now, I drink green tea or matcha, which are gentler on my system.

What role does skincare play in your daily routine?

Skincare has become a non-negotiable part of my self-care routine. I focus on my morning and night routines because they make me feel confident and align with my commitment to self-love. It also serves as an anti-aging measure and has improved my skin’s overall health.

How does using a standing desk and walking during lunch impact your health?

Using a standing desk helps reduce the risks of a sedentary lifestyle, and walking during lunch breaks has significantly improved my energy levels and focus. These habits help me stay active throughout the day, which benefits both my body and mind.

What is cycle syncing, and how does it benefit you?

Cycle syncing is about aligning your lifestyle, including diet and activities, with the different phases of your menstrual cycle. For example, during the menstrual phase, I focus on rest and consume more iron-rich foods. It helps me work with my body’s natural rhythms and feel more balanced throughout the month.

How do you regulate your nervous system, and why is it important?

Regulating my nervous system has become a vital part of my daily routine. I use techniques like breathwork, EFT tapping, and simply listening to my body. These methods help me manage stress better, stay grounded, and make more thoughtful decisions, especially during challenging emotional moments.

How has listening to podcasts influenced your life?

Listening to podcasts has replaced music in my car, and it’s been incredibly educational. I listen to a wide variety of topics, including business, psychology, and true crime, which has broadened my knowledge and kept me focused on my goals. It’s like having a constant source of learning while I’m on the go.

Why did you start reading one book a month, and what has it done for you?

I started reading one book a month to continue learning after dropping out of college. This habit has expanded my vocabulary, boosted my confidence, and helped me articulate my thoughts better. It’s also been great for engaging in deeper conversations with others who share the love of books.

What are feel-good gratitude rampages, and how do they help you?

Feel-good gratitude rampages are when I consciously list everything I'm grateful for, even when I feel down. By shifting my mindset and focusing on all the positive things in my life, I quickly change my energy and regain a sense of abundance. This practice rewired my brain to focus on what I already have, attracting even more of it into my life.
