Connect Who or what is your inspiration in business?

My inspiration in business is creating something people can truly feel...community, connection, and a sense of belonging. I’m inspired by businesses that lead with heart, create meaningful experiences, and make people feel seen the moment they walk through the door. For me, success isn’t just growth; it’s building a space that feels like home and leaves people feeling better than when they arrived.

How do you stay motivated?

I stay motivated by remembering why I started. To find my people, to create a space where everyone feels supported, connected, and inspired. Seeing our community grow, watching students return, and knowing Yoga Passage makes a difference keeps me going. I stay focused by leading with purpose, celebrating small wins, and trusting that consistency, care, and heart are what is building something that is lasting.

What would you do with the $25,000?

If I won $25,000, I’d invest it into Yoga Passage. Enhancing the studio experience, supporting our team, and creating more opportunities for community connection. I’d also set some aside for new offerings, some very much needed upgrades, or wellness events that bring people together. And if I’m being honest… I’d probably treat myself to a little restorative getaway too. I haven't had a break in a very long time.
