Four Thigs You Might Not Know About Me

If you could have dinner with anyone alive, who would it be?

I would have dinner with Brené Brown. She had such a profound impact on me in my early twenties, and Daring Greatly changed my life. I would love, love, love to sit at the same table as her.
What's your favourite season and why?

Summer. I live for the heat and long sunny days
Name five things you love.
1. I am obsessed with reading fiction and self-development
2. working out
3. baths
4. laughing
5. my dogs.
What's a personal goal you hope to achieve in the next year?

I’d like to push my comfort zone in a different way this upcoming year and have more adventure and community experiences. I didn’t grow up travelling, so choosing those experiences isn’t something that comes naturally to me. I also want to write more consistently in the next year and create enough pieces that can go into a poetry and prose book.
