Connect Who or what is your inspiration in business?

My inspiration in business comes from creating spaces and projects that genuinely help people feel better, more connected, and inspired. I’m motivated by heart-led entrepreneurship—building businesses that combine purpose, community, and creativity. Nature, my family, and other entrepreneurs who follow their vision remind me that business can be both meaningful and impactful.

How do you stay motivated?

I stay motivated by remembering my “why”: creating meaningful work that supports people and community. My family, especially my daughter, inspires me to keep building a life with purpose and freedom. I also stay energized by nature, creativity, and the vision of the impact my projects can have. Even during challenges, that bigger mission keeps me moving forward.

What would you do with the $25,000?

If awarded $25,000, I would invest it strategically to expand a heart-led wellness and community space—supporting classes, children’s programs, and accessible healing services. Part would go toward building sustainable infrastructure and part toward community initiatives and scholarships, so more families can access wellness. The goal is to grow something that is both financially sustainable and deeply impactful.
