Who or what is your inspiration in business?

My inspiration comes from the resilience of everyday people who carry powerful stories but don’t always have the platform to share them. As an Army leader, mother, and author, I’m driven by service, legacy, and impact. I’m especially inspired by women who build while balancing life, and by faith-centered entrepreneurs who use their gifts to uplift others. That fuels my mission to help others turn their stories into something meaningful and lasting.

How do you stay motivated?

I stay motivated by staying rooted in purpose. My work is bigger than me. It’s about legacy, impact, and helping others find their voice. I also stay disciplined through structure, consistency, and faith. Even on difficult days, I focus on progress over perfection and remind myself why I started. My children, my calling, and the people I serve keep me going.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would invest the funds into expanding my publishing and coaching platform to help more aspiring authors bring their stories to life. This includes developing resources, marketing support, and workshops for underserved voices. I would also reinvest into community initiatives that promote literacy, storytelling, and entrepreneurship, creating opportunities for others to build their own legacy through writing.
