This is when we throw around questions at each other in hopes that you can learn more about who we are, just before we wrap up. I hope that in the past six months you’ve come to understand something about the woman I am and the journey that I’m on. But for now…

What are you most proud of from the last 6 months? I’m proud of realizing that it’s okay to be me. Maybe I don’t have monumental changes going on; I’m not traveling the world, having a baby, getting married, or touring the country. All of these things are on my to-do list, sure, but what I’m doing right now is what I need to do right now. I’m being much better at thriving from day to day. Baby steps, people. I’m proud of releasing myself from so much pressure. I’m proud that I have begun to understand more about authenticity. I’m proud that I can check in with myself and know just what I need.

What is your favorite meal memory? A summer barbecue with all my dear friends, celebrating summer’s solstice with lemon beers, fresh tomatoes and corn, salads, burgers, and swell company. Also popsicles. And ice cream cones. And a stray raccoon for entertainment.

What’s the best piece of advice you have for someone struggling with a QLC? Own it. Understand that it sucks, and just like any other mess, it’s going to take work to organize. But it’s good, fulfilling, worthwhile work that you’re lucky to be doing. You’re lucky to love yourself so much that you care to make it right. And

What’s the best piece of advice someone has ever given you? “Having a bad day? Clean something.” –my mama

What’s your killer music mix? Aw man. I’m so all over the place with music but right now I’m digging Sarah Jarosz, Cults, and the Civil Wars. Mellow, penetrating, simple, raw.

Three biggest obsessions right now…blue eyeliner, triple shot iced lattes, and journaling.

What has happened in your time as a Stratejoy blogger that you would never have imagined for yourself in January? Getting real with my parents about the direction I want my life to take. Moving forward in that relationship has made all of my other progress so much richer.

What’s something you learned from each of the other ladies of Season 4? Be scared. Then do it anyway. That’s when the good stuff happens.

What’s your Dream Job? Dream Vacation? Dream Home? World-Travelin’ Documentary Filmmaker. Bali for a month or twelve. Cottage in the country with an English garden, pups, chickens, maybe a goat, definitely a horse, and a beautiful view.

What’s currently turning you on? Women with pixie cuts, men with beards, men with banjos, women with tattoos.

How are you going to change the world? By being extremely nice, one person at a time. Oh yeah, and fighting hard for gay and civil rights.
