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!

How did you meet your significant other?

High school! We’re very blessed that we have been able to grow together throughout the years- we will celebrate 15 years together (2 married) in October!

Share a photo of your pet and tell us one thing that makes them uniquely them.

What’s a thing you wish schools actually taught?

I wish they taught more financial literacy and how to build generational wealth- considering we are a capitalistic society in America. The amount of adults who don’t even know how their credit card interest works is ridiculous and keeps people crippled in debt.

If your future self could send you one sentence, what do you hope it would say?

“It all worked out way better than you thought it would.” ✨💫🫶🏼

If you had to give one life-changing tip, what would it be?

Gratitude makes a world of a difference! I highly recommend starting your day with gratitude- I’m actually trying to get back into that habit as well. Guess I can start here!

Today I am grateful that I woke up next to the love of my life. I am grateful we woke up in a safe home and comfortable bed. I am grateful I was able to stop and get some Dunkin iced coffee this morning with my birthday gift cards. I’m grateful that my husband and I have jobs so we can pay our bills and still enjoy fun things in life. I’m also grateful for the Two Hot Takes podcast keeping me laughing and entertained on my drive to work!

Do you think everything happens for a reason?

Yes I do- so much so that it was my very first tattoo: “Everything happens for a reason”

What’s your biggest dream?

To have healthy, happy children with my husband and be in a financial situation that allows me to be a stay-at-home for a few years and still be able to go on family vacations a couple times a year without any financial burden. I’d also love to live near the beach/ocean!

Are you a lifelong learner?

Aren’t we all? Absolutely! If we aren’t learning and evolving, are we experiencing anything? Are we paying attention in our daily lives? As much as I listen to podcasts (I definitely need to read more), I feel like a lot of learning comes from life lessons. Being a human with an ego in this chaotic world is no easy feat!
