If you could go back in time and give your younger self advice, what would it be?

Trust your gut- you aren’t crazy.

What’s one thing you know now that would have saved your younger self a lot of pain?

Faith. Talking to my angels / guides and giving them all of my worries. I was such a stressed out child since my parents were always drinking and screaming at each other. It was not possible to escape except in Full House and in my journals. I think if I would have gotten into more faith and “magic” as a kid, I would have felt less pain. I would have seen more good around.

What’s the most underrated life skill?

Reading a map.

I don’t have that skill LMFAO 🤣

What are your favorite side-hustle ideas?

Lately my mind has been on making these little wish boxes and possibly selling them on Etsy or to family/friends/coworkers/etc!

What are five simple exercises to do at home?

1. Jumping Jacks
2. Squats
3. Stretching
4. Walking (treadmill, walking pad, or just pace around the house like I do when I’m on a phone call LOL)
5. Leg Lifts

Do you believe in karma?

Absolutely I do! Karma is real and it’s not always negative as some people think. “What goes around comes around” applies to everything!! Both positive and negative!

How does your mindset affect your financial success?

When I am in a negative headspace, it’s easy for me to spiral and be in a lack mentality. When I’m like this I’m usually overwhelmed and feel guilty for any fun spending I’ve done in the recent past.

On the contrary, when I am in a good headspace, it’s easier to see how we are moving towards our goals and I feel less overwhelmed looking at our budget. I see how we’re still having fun while reaching certain goals and I feel overall better about our finances.

I feel like mindset really does matter when it comes to finances.

If your pet could talk, what would be the first thing it says?

Deacon: “Why do you leave me every morning when I just want to snuggle? HOW DARE YOU!”

Mushu: “I purposely vomit when I can see the bottom of my bowl. Also, I wish you’d feed me plastic bags.”

Sky: “Can I have more soft food???”

What’s the weirdest coincidence you’ve ever experienced?

I will always remember driving to breakfast with my husband (boyfriend at the time) and I saw a license plate in front of us that had “CJ 111.” Quick context: his name starts with C, mine starts with J, and I am obsessed with angel numbers. When I saw the license plate I looked at him and said “oh look!! CJ 111! that means new beginnings!!!”

He smiled and just kept driving (he is a logical man who doesn’t care about angel numbers LOL). Maybe 45 minutes after this happened, we’re sitting and breakfast and THIS MAN HAD A RING IN MY MIMOSA!! So we got engaged, and of course I’m like “OMG TALK ABOUT A NEW BEGINNING!” meanwhile he literally had already forgotten about the license plate we saw and it never even clicked to him because he doesn’t believe in woo woo shit LMFAO.

Share a hobby you’ve picked up recently — what got you into it?

I recently got into diamond art within the last couple years thanks to one of my close friends! At first I was so overwhelmed looking at the canvases of numbers and letters, but it’s actually so relaxing and satisfying to work on!
