What was the inspiration for Molasses Cookie?

My mom!! We always made molasses cookies growing up around the holidays and it’s a favorite core memory of mine! 

What do you do for work? Tell us about your professional journey.

I’m a chef, cookbook author, entrepreneurs and content creator. I do it all! LOL 

How do you stay motivated?

This is a great question. I’ve always just instinctually been motivated. I think a lot of it has to do with playing sports as a child and continuing to prioritize working out as an adult. It really helps keep me healthy both mentally and physically and that makes staying motivated that much easier! 

Do you have any advice for someone who is interested in starting a business/blog?

Figure out what you stand for and what your voice is and start. No better time than the present! 

What are your favorite ways to #spreadgood in your community?

I’m always looking for ways to help. I love getting involved on a hyper local level in my daughters school and working with kids. 

Who is one person who inspires you and why?

My mom! She’s an incredible mom and has done such an amazing job instilling confidence in both me and my sister. If I can be half as amazing as her, I’ll be pumped! 

How do you work to stay centered and practice self-care in your busy day-to-day reality?

Like I said above… working out is HUGE for me! 

What do you like to do for fun, when you aren't working?

Traveling, eating at new restaurants, hanging with friends, entertaining!
