1.) Why is wellness important to you?

2.) What is your favourite wellness product and why?
Tea! It comforts and calms all my senses – warm to touch, fragrant, delicious, I can close my eyes when I sip to gain insight into the present state of mind, leading to a moment of silence or a moment of slurp.
3.) Three things in your refrigerator at all times:

Something orange (oranges, grapefruit, clementines, carrots), something green (Spinach, arugula, kale leaves or vegetables), and a milk of some sort. I call them code orange, code green and code white on my grocery list!

4.) What is something you’re proud of?
The Unsung Hero award- the irony amused me, but also helped me connect to my intuitive leadership skills by removing the struggle to act like a spotlight leader.
5.) Words to live by:
“The way we make change is just as important as the change we make.”
