CommunityWhat inspires you?
Feeling good. I feel like I am always wanting to feel good, so I like to look after my body with good food and daily movement. I also love to grow as a person, so I am always learning. I am constantly inspired by my mum, her work ethic is amazing.
What does your day usually look like?
I wake up at 7am before the rest of my family. I like to do some Pilates then meditate. I usually jump in the shower after and everyone else wakes up. I make breakfast, which is usually protein packed like eggs and rye bread, a smoothie with protein powder or smoked salmon omelette. Then I do the drop off, and head back home to work. I try to have 2 creative days of filming and creating, and two days of sitting at my computer, editing, doing emails, planning etc. Some weeks I take Friday off, or it's filled with meetings or events. I like to switch off work after the school pick up, cook supper and get an early night!
What is your daily non-negotiable?
2 litres of water, 10k steps and an early night.

- Meditation, I think we all need something to manage stress.
