Q&A
1. What’s your biggest achievement / Something you’re proud of yourself for?
Despite having the odds stacked against me, being an EXTREMELY shy and introverted child, with support, daily motivation from my mother, and consistent practice, I faced my fear of standing up and out in public. Still, to this day, not an easy endeavour for me. And although this wasn’t my life work (acting etc) by doing what seemed improbable, I gave my shy and scared inner child evidence that we can do or become just about anything we want with practice, consistency, structure and support.“
2. What’s your biggest fear / something that holds you back?
“What is the point? I often ask myself… why do we want to stand up, stand out, motivate, accomplish, love, be loved, work hard, laugh out loud, cry till we can’t breath… what is the point? The existential crises I want to believe everyone experiences…. And then I snuggle with my dogs, listen to a dying friend tell me what she is afraid of, laugh at my boyfriend till I can’t breath or smile at the barista paying for my morning coffee. And I realise. That’s why. All the moments. This is my why. Connection, collaboration and a quest to make moments meaningful.”
3. What’s your biggest contribution / Something you like to share?
“Being curious about people’s stories, really listening to them because I genuinely want to hear and see them as they are, unedited. Raw, rare and real.“
4. Fun Facts:
“I am a complete and embarrassingly so bookworm. My favourite day is waking up with only my books to read and (fingers crossed) a five- cheese pizza at the end of the day, snuggling in front of a fireplace. I am very good at doing JUST that for a day or 10….….”
Thank you for being you!
