Working with horses has taught me how to ground myself in my body when I feel panicky.
My book, 'The Total Me-Tox,' is about self-care and self-love and how they lead to success and empowerment. My goal is to encourage women to be their best selves in a warm, friendly way. Think human, not superhuman.
'Me-tox' means doing what works for you; for me, that's 20 minutes of meditation, twice a day.
I'm very driven, and I always have been, but when do you prioritize self-care? It's so important because even to attain success, you must take time to slow down and get to know yourself first.
From the time I was five years old, theater was all I knew. I did community theater; I went to theater school. It's like going to the gym as an actor: every single night, you have to recreate the illusion of the first time, so you really have to listen and connect and stay in the moment for an hour and a half - with no breaks.
I was born in Pennsylvania, but for most of my childhood, my family lived in Lynchburg, Virginia.
If I would get in trouble, my mom would already know when I came home after school. I didn't have time to give my side, because she would've already seen the teacher, like, in the teacher's lounge.
