FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Over the years there have been patterns in common questions people ask me. I thought I’d do my best to compile some of the most frequently asked questions here both business and personal :)

How long have you been running your business?
I received my Masters Degree in Health & Wellness Coaching at the end of 2015. During that year I started working with clients, writing blog posts, and slowly building my brand. I was barely profitable my first year in business. It wasn’t until 2017 that I niched down with Mindful Productivity and started to really get some traction.
What’s your background in?
I received my Bachelor of Arts in Communications with a Minor in Sociology from Western Washington University in 2009. I actually started both an MBA and a Masters in Project Management but dropped out of both. In 2015 I completed my Masters in Health & Wellness Coaching with an emphasis on Integrative Health Practices from Maryland University of Integrative Health. I’ve invested in countless online programs and coaching that have helped me with business development, marketing, etc.

The best way is to share the content I’m creating on social media, leave a review for the podcast on Apple Podcasts. You can also enroll in any of my self-paced courses.
PERSONAL
You move a LOT, what gives?
I get this a lot. My husband is in the military, so we move every 3 years no matter what. We also have found ourselves moving more frequently to try out different living situations (we lived in a 500sq ft tiny house during our stay in Annapolis, MD) and honestly, I have a hard time staying put.
When did you go vegan/plant-based? What made you decide to make the transition?
During my Masters degree I started to learn about the health benefits of eating a plant-based diet. We also adopted our bulldog Bella around that time and as I watched her grow and learn new things, I realized how smart and amazing all animals were. One night I watched the famous speech by Gary Yourofksy (Check it out here) and I went vegan overnight. It was an ethical decision for me from the start.
Do you have any favorite vegan recipes or resources you can recommend?
Yes! I share what I cook each year for my Vegan Thanksgiving here. I also have a huge photo album of recipes and meal ideas on my personal Facebook Page in this album here. Or you can checkout this Facebook Note I created that has my Ultimate Vegan / Plant-Based Resources & Recipe Guide.
Where do you stand on Social Justice & World Issues?
Glad you asked! You can read all about where I stand here.
OMG I LOVE BELLA! Do you have more photos of her?
Isn’t she the best?! You can find updates from “her” and more photos on her Instagram Page here.
