5 Things She Can’t Live Without

Pets: I have had animals my whole life, both dogs and cats. They have given me so much love and comfort. When I’m super stressed out, I go to the Humane Society to hang out with the stray animals and get some extra snuggles.
Walking: If I am stuck on a problem or need to be creative or clear my head, I always head out for a walk.
Sleep: I love to sleep! Sleep supports every other healthy decision I make. If I rest well, I can show up better for what matters to me.
Kindness: Human beings thrive when they are kind to each other and to themselves. I try to remember that when people are being mean, they are usually insecure or suffering in some way. I respond with kindness every chance I get, and I try to remember to offer that same generosity to myself when I start feeling critical of my body or my work.
Girlfriends: My girlfriends are my family. In the past, when I have moved to a new town or a new school, it might have taken a while to find my friends, but once I find women who make me feel like myself, I know I’m home.
