Her Interview
Ten minutes with Belinda
01What do you attribute your success to?
Just don't stop. Keep going. I'm spiritual to a degree. I was brought up I'm a Christian. But I pray a lot. And that really really helps me unwind sometimes because I find Peace. When things really get hard. And then a couple days later There's something that happens that levels it out.
02What’s the best career advice you’ve ever received?
When I was a private investigator my boss Phillip said Belinda? Take it with a grain of salt. Do the work. Because It's just I don't know how some people do it. and even my son now is a police officer I don't know how because you just see things and hear things and you have to let it Not necessarily let it go but You've got to put it in a different part of your brain.
