Are there any sayings or mantras you repeat silently (or out loud) often ?
Work smarter not harder...
Also, it's ok to say no.
Walk us through your usual morning ?
We milk the cows later now and that is awesome. I don't have to hit the ground running in the same way as I used to so a typical morning involves waking up around 6 and making something hot to drink while planning my day. I still like to get outside as soon as I can but theres less pressure to be "on time" because we don't milk until 9 each day.
If you could run away for one day - no phone, responsibilities, and a wallet full of cash, where would you go/what would you do ?
Fun question! I would go swimming somewhere remote and beautiful and I'd bring a picnic. Fruit and cheeses and crackers. After swimming I'd find a vintage or thrift shop and take my time looking for gems.
Can we see a page in your notebook or screen shot from your notes app that is very ‘you’?
Do you make to do lists ?
I really do- I love crossing stuff off. Plus...I need them! I will forget.
Who’s #1 on your call history ?
Oh gosh- just some farm store customer. So many calls everyday.
Take out or home cooked meal?
Mood dependent. I love getting take out and I love making good food when I have the energy. Most important might be that I'm sharing it with friends.
What last made you laugh so hard your face hurt?
My buddy Trevor gets me going on the regular.
What did you last feel nostalgic for ?
The pace of kid summers.
What’s something you’re looking forward to?
I'm in a big stage of business planning for Chaseholm and I am really looking forward to having some clarity by the end of it.
What do you feel grateful for at this exact moment?
My sweet little dog. He's sitting behind me in my desk chair right now.
What’s your favorite photo of yourself and why ?
There's a photo of Jordan and I on the farm in the sunset that I love. It's the colors and our expressions and our youth! I love it. I finally framed it this year.
What’s something most people would be surprised to know about you ?
I'm shy.
Something you like to take your time on/with ?
Anything animals.
Something you tend to rush through?
Anything paperwork.
What in your life is growing ?
The boundaries I have between work and home.
What is fading out ?
Slow process but, I am really trying to listen to what I need and let the voices of others (especially in a work context) get their volume turned down a bit while I figure out what works best for me. AKA: trying not to people please as a default life practice.
