Being unexpectedly moved by a song or something in nature. I can feel the energy it provides me running up my spine.

My Advice to Young Women:
You can’t change who you are, and why would you want to anyway? You can, however, learn to identify, harness and extrapolate your strengths while at the same time identifying, harnessing and mitigating your weaknesses. It’s easier said than done, so start the process today.

How I Balance It All:
Surround yourself with people who love you…people who support and share your dreams. Those people will move mountains for you by taking things off of your plate, encouraging you to take breaks, and making sure you find time for yourself.
