- The Ladies in the Know series presents women
who’ve probed their awareness, identified important aspects of their lives that
demanded attention and took action to uplift themselves through connecting to
their inner wisdom and following it.
- They are writers, athletes, cooks,
healers, mothers, musicians, designers and more. They’ve shared what they’ve
learned thereby making an impact on the lives of many women the world over.
- We admire their strength and courage,
their intelligence and contribution to our lives. We seek to know how their
vision came about and how they manifested their dreams. We wish to be closer to
their nexus of empowerment.
- At the end of the day when our heroes take off their capes, they are people just like us. And lest we forget that we too have the capacity to reach great heights, I’ve asked these Ladies in the Know to record their first thoughts, in brief, to ten questions, as a mini-interview of sorts, for both insight and for fun.

What
gets you out of bed in the morning?
My 18-month-old is an earlier
riser than I am at 5:45. Before her, the
bakery always got me up early, I loved the smell of dough mixing in the
morning.
I am an east coaster at heart,
but California always calls to me.
What would you tell your
teenage/younger self if you could?
You are stronger than
you could ever imagine. I promise you
will survive and thrive.
What would you remind
your elderly/future self if you could?
Love more, stress less.
What was your most
embarrassing moment?
Anytime I am showing my
entitlement is embarrassing to me. I
often have to remind myself that what I deserve and what I want are very
different things.
What is your proudest
moment?
Holding my adopted
daughter on the day she was born.
What is your favorite
food?
Cookies of course!
What is your favorite word?
Relentless
What is your favorite hobby/activity?
I love walking my dog on
Vermont country roads, I’m obsessed with working out and believe it or not I
still love baking in my spare time.
Please share one bit of
inspiration, insight or wisdom with women…
We are all raised with a
story of who we are, but our true story is the one only we can tell for
ourselves. The story of who we are can
always be retold.
Bonus: Only answer if
you’d like: Is there a Lady in theKnow you’d like to share with us, a woman who
has influenced you in a positive way? If so, who and how?
I have a long time
mentor named Lucy Darlington. She taught
me that it’s ok to not know what’s next, it’s ok to be in pain, it’s ok to show
people who you are. She showed me how to
embrace the journey of life and for that I am eternally grateful.
