I have a confession: I don’t have a morning routine — I’m honestly just trying to get everyone ready and out the door.
I never felt like I could get used to the rigidity of a morning routine because let’s face it… whether you're busy breaking glass ceilings, building your empire, raising babies, or all 3, life. is. crazy.
Even though the matcha tea and 30-min meditation morning never stuck, I did find some systems that keep my full but never busy, working ONLY on things that get me closer to my goals, while keeping my health in check. So yeah… I don’t wake up at 5am and read a whole book but the playbooks I'm sharing helped me scale 2 multi-million dollar businesses, raise 2 babies while still enjoying my life!
CEO & founder of Stax, I had a simple idea that would revolutionize the payments industry. A billion dollar valuation, $23 billion processed and 300 incredible team members later, that idea has become a leader in the tech & payment space, catapulting from startup to Orlando’s first fintech Unicorn.
I soon became EY’s Entrepreneur of the Year, a Fortune 40 Under 40 honoree and, through that journey, I realized I was literally breaking the statistics: so few women & minorities ever get the chance to be where I was -- less than 2% of women ever break $1M in revenue.
I became passionate about empowering women to succeed through the CEO School podcast, and community. Since then, I’ve become an investor, mentor, coach to women. I’m a mom of two, a wine enthusiast who loves to travel the world with my incredible family while destroying the gender wage gap.
