I’ve been listening to some of Rachel Hollis’s ORIGINAL podcasts – I’m talking like 2016 – pre Girl Wash Your Face – to pick up some biz tips for the new project I’m launching soon (you’re going to want to join my Facebook group to find out more! Here is that link: https://www.facebook.com/groups/322758231438613)
If Rachel interviews any guest on her podcast, she always ends the podcast with 5 questions for the guest and I thought it would make a fun blog post if I answered them!
- What is your go to coffee drink?
I would say right now it is a Starbucks double shot on ice – this is my go to if I really need to be awake or maybe I didn’t sleep well before night shift. I also buy Starbucks iced coffee at like Fareway or Walmart. I love adding Sweet and Low – it’s my favorite sweetener. I’ve tried to switch to all natural sweeteners and I just can’t taste it like I can with Sweet n’ Low – Splenda tastes too fake for me – needless to say I’m pretty picky about my sugars that go in my coffee. I also love a good splash of vanilla almond milk in my hot coffee if I’m at home for the day.
- What time do you wake up in the mornings?
I’m a night shifter – actually, I signed a “contract” at work that instead of working 6 weeks days/6 weeks nights – I’m strictly night shift now! So when do I wake up in the mornings? On my days off the boys are usually awake by 6 am crawling into bed and asking for TV or YouTube or snacks – and I usually lay in bed for another hour and up by 7. I wish I was the kind of person who gets up early but I give myself a pass because I work such weird hours.
- What is your morning routine?
Again, night shifter. I don’t have a morning routine. Every day, every week is different and I’d rather have that than a set every day routine. There are certain things I like to get done in a day – usually the dishes, usually cooking, usually a nap (if I’m working that night or worked the night before). That’s about as consistent as my days are!
- What is your favorite form of exercise?
ROLLER SKATING – but mountain biking is a close second! I used to work out every week with a personal trainer but to be honest, I’m still not back to where I was before COVID. I’ve tried working out a few times but I’ve blacked out and had to stop. I’ve loved roller skating and biking every since I was little – for some reason when I got older I thought those things were too “childish” for me but once I got over that, I really truly enjoy biking and skating.
- What is something that is always in your travel bag?
Well, I have braces so that’s easy – TOOTHPICKS! and I always need a pony tail holder. I don’t go anywhere without my phone or my Apple Air Pods. I ALWAYS need something to drink too!

1. Chai tea latte, at home, usually made with a powder I have put together.
2. 6-8 AM…nice to not have a schedule.
3. Take the dogs out immediately, then feed them when we come in. I’ll usually eat 5-10 hours after I get up…weird, right?
4. I like to walk, but not in the cold! Umpiring softball for 3.5 hours a night will easily get me 10,000 steps! I love to ride my horse, but he died on Tuesday, so I don’t have that any more.
5. Flossers! I have bags of them everywhere, including my truck!
I’m currently loving Allie Stuckey’s podcasts. She talks quickly and there’s so much to learn. They’re fun, sometimes educational and my friends and I have had great conversations based upon some of her podcasts.
1. I dont drink coffee. I love the smell but not the taste. I get my caffeine from one 12 oz can of diet dr. Pepper each day. And I drink that around noon to 2 PM.
2 – 3 I’m self-employed. I usually wake up an hour before my alarm goes off at 7:40 and I read in bed until it goes off. When I get up i do a little housework, get ready and go to my office at another location.
4. Isn’t exercise a four-letter word? Haha. I like to go for walks but the weather is really bad here and there’s no inside walking with covid. I also enjoy line dancing but that has ended in this town. I like going for short hikes in the woods on well-marked trails but this time of the year the trails are all muddy and wind-blown from trees. I walked circles around my living room and kitchen for exercise this past winter.
5. Lip gloss is the number one thing I always carry. I also have small Dental brushes for cleaning out my attached retainers from having braces myself a decade or more ago.
