AM ritual: When I wake up, I dive into whatever book I’m into. Right now, I’m reading Your Spiritual Authority.Shower and spray magnesium oil on my body before I moisturize head to toe with our Heal Whipped Skin Soufflé. Drink warm water with collagen and apple cider vinegar. Start going through emails

PM wind down: Usually, my fiancé and I spend the evenings together watching one of our favorite shows, researching something we’re interested in on the computer, or discussing what’s going on in our worlds.Before bed I shower, do my face routine and take my bedtime supplements.

Feel-good song: “Rise Up” by Andra Day

A mistake you’ve learned from: Thinking I can do everything on my own. A perfect example of that is with my business. For the first two years, I did EVERYTHING on my own. The stress compromised my health again, so I have learned to delegate, seek out help and trust.

To your younger self: I’d tell my younger self to live more in the moment. I’d allow myself to be more free and not overthink and over-plan every aspect of my life.

A wellness expert who has significantly helped you: Dr. Tracey Rico. She’s the integrative doctor that literally transformed my life when I was first diagnosed with lupus. She lives off the grid now, but I am hoping she becomes accessible to more people.

Favorite wellness/beauty book: A Return to Love by Marianne Williamson

Go-to stress remedy: Thai Massage

Supplements you can’t live without: Magnesium oil, MSM, Vitamin D (with K1 + K2)

Three things you’re really into right now:

Driving to Malibu to put my feet in the sand, ground myself to the earth and breathe freely without a mask.

Reading when I first wake up in the morning, before picking up my phone.

Shorter work-days and making sure I rest fully throughout the night. The last few years I overworked myself, and it caught up to me, so balance is something that is a priority in my life right now. It’s not easy having balance when you’re an entrepreneur, but I am determined.

Your ultimate indulgence: The ultimate indulgence for me is amazing travel experiences. I love seeing the world and combining culture and adventure with luxury accommodations. I like to fully immerse myself, meet thelocals, experience everything a country has to offer, whether that’s climbing a mountain or diving with sharkswhile experiencing the best food and accommodations as well. #balance
