Who or what is your inspiration in business?

My inspiration is my own journey of learning to love myself — fully, radically, without condition. My connection to Spirit and the Divine has been my compass. This work chose me; I didn’t choose it. And when something chooses you that deeply, devotion is the only response. I’ve given my life to this medicine because I know what it can do, I’ve lived it. Every person who walks through my door is a reflection of who I once was, and that is reason enough to keep showing up.

How do you stay motivated?

Some days I want to quit. I’ll be honest about that. Building from the ground up, doing it alone, it’s hard. But when I give myself permission to stop, something happens. Something in my bones vibrates louder than quitting. My conversations with God, my tools in nervous system regulation and mindset carry me. But mostly, not doing this doesn’t exist for me. It never has.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would invest in growth. Specifically in securing a dedicated space to expand my work and deepen my community roots. Right now I am building without a permanent home. A space changes everything. It becomes a place people return to, a container for healing that exists beyond any single event. My vision is a permanent healing home rooted in my community, built to hold the depth of this work for years to come.
