Who or what is your inspiration in business?

Mom entrepreneurs are my greatest inspiration. They build businesses in the margins of real life—between school drop-offs, sleepless nights, and endless responsibilities—yet still show up with vision and grit. Their resilience, creativity, and devotion to both family and purpose redefine what success looks like. They don’t wait for perfect conditions—they create impact anyway, and that courage fuels everything I build.

How do you stay motivated?

I stay motivated by my 3-year-old daughter. She calls me to heal my wounds, to grow into a more present, kind, compassionate, and joyful woman each day. I want to be a living example of embodied feminine power for her—someone who rises, does the inner work, and leads with love. Through becoming my best self for her, I’m able to serve others at the highest level and help them do the same.

What would you do with the $25,000?

With the $25,000 prize, I’d first ensure our cost of living and nourishing food are fully covered, creating stability for my family. I’d hire a skilled mom marketer to help expand Alchemical Strength so I can reach and serve more adults. I’d also donate a portion to organizations supporting moms—especially single mothers—so they can provide for their children with dignity and strength.
