What’s your favorite part of being a focused space host?

I love the simplicity and effectiveness of the focused space model, and I love the focused community! Both factors create a compassionate, safe, and supportive space where we can make progress towards our goals. It is such a refreshing shift from hustle culture and yields much better results!

What motivates you?

I love working alongside other people. There is power in community! Sometimes I am motivated to complete things when I'm NOT feeling motivated... Just to prove to myself that I don't always have to feel like doing something in order to do it.

(This may not be appropriate but a mantra of mine has been "Motivation is not a prerequisite for getting sh*t done!" Use that as you may.)

Quotes motivate me! Some favorites:

• "Start where you are, use what you have, do what you can." - Arthur Ashe

• "You don't have to build confidence before taking action. You build confidence by taking action." - Adam Grant

Also, reminding myself that we are on a floating rock in the universe. I look up at the sky a lot for this perspective!

What is your favorite pizza topping?

Meatlovers

What is your favorite book or podcast?

Harry Potter series (even though JK Rowling ruined it by being transphobic).

What do you like to do in your spare time?

Does talking count? Because I do that a lot 😅 Dancing (many types, currently exploring zouk!), tending to my one plant, yoga travel, and I'm currently trying to pick up crochet.

If you were a wildlife photographer, what creature would you focus on and why?

Koalas because I vibe with koala memes. Penguins because they're one of my favorite animals. Otters because they are cute.
