“I take a work hard, play hard approach to life in both my job and at home. I’m constantly on the go so carving out time to be with friends and family is the best way for me to wind down and have some fun. From family vacations to fishing trips with old friends, it’s essential to take time to be with those most important to you.”

“I recharge daily by going to the gym, doing yoga at least 2x week, and if I’m lucky, getting out of town with girlfriends or my husband for the weekend.”

“Unfortunately, I don’t recharge my batteries often enough, but when I do, I really like to leave Austin to take in some new scenery. Oftentimes, that comes in the form of long weekends in places like San Francisco and Chicago. Those trips, however long or short they may be, give me a chance to recharge but also put me in a new environment where I can gain fresh perspectives. One of the things I usually do on those trips is pamper myself at a spa, something that definitely helps me recharge. Of course, those trips are especially nice when Austin is searing in triple-digit temperatures!”
