What does self-care mean to you?
Self-care could be anything from a quick workout to a glass of wine or a hot shower. To me, self-care is something that you're doing for yourself so you can show up better in all aspects of your life.

What do you do to relax and unwind?
I listen to my body and lean into what it's craving; whether that's ordering takeout and binging Netflix with my husband, reading a book (loving Colleen Hoover lately), listening to a podcast or taking a walk to grab a coffee with my husband and daughter, relaxing and unwinding can look different throughout the week for me. I'm really trying to spend less time doom scrolling on social media and being more present and thoughtful with my free time, but as always, it's a work in progress.

How do you find time for yourself?
I like to sneak small moments of self-care into my day. For me, that could be enjoying my morning coffee and lemon water while listening to a quick meditation on The Sculpt Society app, it could be a hot shower using all my favorite skincare products or sneaking in some quick movement between Zoom meetings. When you're an entrepreneur and parent, you learn to efficiently sneak in time for yourself, which isn't always easy or possible every day!

What advice do you have for others when it comes to making time for wellness?
My motto is "commit to less, to show up more." When it comes to introducing a wellness practice into your life, you want to make sure it's something that is sustainable and makes sense for your lifestyle. You have to give yourself grace and celebrate the small milestones along the way! Having a community is really important for accountability, motivation and celebrating the wins.
