Who or what is your inspiration in business?

My inspiration in business comes from the belief that even the busiest people deserve moments of peace. As an author and founder of Mysterious, I turned my passion for storytelling into a self-care brand that encourages people to slow down, heal, and reconnect with themselves. I created Mysterious to remind everyday people that caring for their mind, body, and spirit isn’t a luxury—it’s essential. My mission is to inspire balance, confidence, and intentional living.

How do you stay motivated?

I stay motivated by remembering why I started. As an author and the founder of Mysterious, my purpose is bigger than profit. It’s about creating something meaningful that helps people reconnect with themselves. Knowing that my work can inspire healing, confidence, and self-care keeps me focused. Every challenge reminds me that building something impactful takes persistence, and that purpose is what keeps me moving forward.

What would you do with the $25,000?

Winning $25,000 would allow me to expand my business beyond my local community. I would travel to promote my products, connect with other entrepreneurs, and build valuable partnerships. I would also invest in a business mentor to help refine my strategy and ensure I grow my business with knowledge, structure, and long-term success.
