In moments of self-doubt, how do you build yourself back up? 
I take a nap! When I feel overwhelmed I just give myself a moment to fully shut off. And if it required more than just a nap I will immerse myself in my mindful movement of choice- this helps to get the blood and energy flowing releasing what is stagnant and no longer serving and also refreshing with new energy. I will couple this with meditation and journaling to ground my thoughts and come back to my own center of being.

What is your favorite part about your work?
I love it! Literally all of it is something I started doing for myself because I knew I needed the mindfulness in my daily life and eventually I started to share that passion with others. I love seeing how effective mindfulness practices are at changing lives.

What is your daily routine for incorporating mindfulness?
I love to do movement when I first wake up. It just offers me natural energy and a full jump to the day. I allow myself to wake up with the sun, I keep my curtains open so I get the beautiful sunlight peeking into my bedroom. I’ll start with a moment of gratitude as I'm still laying in bed. Then I organically get up and take a shower. I have a routine of going to the gym to lift or I'll do yoga at home, or I'll run/walk in my neighborhood. Especially on nice days I love getting outside in nature and going on hikes. Mid day I'll make myself a smoothie and take a moment for meditation. And I normally close out the day with some reading and journaling. I find journaling my number one mindfulness tool. It offers a safe space for me to release my thoughts and feelings and then I can go back and reflect.
