Animal you identify with: The Scarab.

If you could give one piece of advice to every single person in the world, what would it be?
The ‘problem’ is not really the problem. It’s how you are thinking about the problem which creates the problem! If you want to change your life, change your thoughts….

What is your happiness hack?
A hike in nature. So good for the mind, body and soul. A little cardio in the garden of Mother Earth never fails to lift my spirits. Nature reminds me of the seasons of life and that change is the only constant.

What’s your biggest struggle, and what do you do to work on it?
Perfectionism and control. I overcome this by putting out content everyday which is perfectly imperfect and yet helps so many people. I combat control issues by surrendering and allowing life to happen through me, not to me. I no longer trying to fight to control external events but instead asking myself, what can I learn from this? How can I grow? With deep breaths (and occasional swearing) of course!

Hawaii. I spent my honeymoon on the North shore of Oahu and it was a truly exquisite experience for the mind, body and soul and a wonderful way to start off married life.
