I really can't stress enough that while I intrinsically have a really strong work ethic and I love to work, I would be remiss if I didn't give credit to my husband. I feel like if you marry the right partner, you are unstoppable. He's the most incredible person. Even when he gets home late from a baseball game, he will usually say 'what can I do for you?' He has a servant leadership style and is a great leader of our house. He makes me want to be a better person. Also, when I gave birth to my firstborn, my daughter, it was like wow, I have such a greater purpose in life! I haven't even hit my full potential yet. Teaching my children a solid foundation of what it means to be a good communicator and what it means to be a kind person is my life's mission as a mother. They also make me want to be the best person too. The right partner and having a purpose with my kids, that's my everything.

The people thing is really, really important to me, in terms of figuring out my own core values outside of work too. I'm big into manifesting and vision boarding - you can speak into existence a good day or a bad day, so I try to do that a lot. Everything is going to be okay. You have gotten through 100% of your bad days. I try to stay even-keeled through the highs and the lows. If you get a high, pat yourself on the back and celebrate a little bit, and have that even-keeled attitude, and then the bad things won't feel so bad either. I have the confidence in my skill set and my ability to do the work, and then everything else kind of just happens. I don't try to do anything at 100%, because it's my first time on Earth too, so it's all going to work out.
