What’s one experience or lesson that’s shaped who you are today?

Getting osteoarthritis in my right hip and needing to get a hip replacement made me research and explore natural ways to manage pain and give me more time before I had to have surgery.  This opened up the doors to understanding so much more around food and placed me on the road to understanding more about longevity and the choices I make today and how I live my life.  My ‘why’.

How do you define radiance — and when do you feel most radiant?

Radiance is finding joy in what you do. I feel most radiant when I’ve set out for something and I’ve achieved it. 

What does self-love look like in your life — even on the messy days?

Self love for me is giving me time to do what I want, it may be a workout, a face mask, a pedicure/manicure.  It’s showing up for me and what I want - every day. 

What’s a small ritual or habit that makes a big difference in your wellbeing?

Being active - daily. 

How do you stay grounded or inspired when life gets overwhelming?

I reflect on my health and well being and my ‘why’. 

Who in your life inspires you — and why?

It’s not one person.  I’ve been inspired by many colleagues, bosses, friends and family and I take a little bit of them with me through every experience I face and it has formed who I am today. 

Which Friiskin Skincare product do you reach for the most, and how does it make you feel?

The Power Cleanser. Love my nighttime routine washing the day away… 

If you could offer one message to other women on their self-love journey, what would it be?

Find something that you enjoy doing that is just for you and find a way to incorporate it every week, then try multiple times a week, to eventually get to daily.
