Self esteem is built from the inside out and that is my inspiring message to all people.

Everyone is busy, but I believe it depends on what you prioritize. My husband and I teach Sunday School together at our church and are very involved.

We need to stand together with all of the victims [ of sexual harassment] and make sure they are not silenced.

I'm advocating for companies not to make women sign confidentiality clauses just to be able to come to work. I understand that companies need to keep some things secret - like business practices and trade secrets - but confidentiality clauses were never supposed to be keeping private what's happening to people within the workplace. It's a human right issue.

I've never understood why it's a negative to showcase a talented, smart woman who also happens to be attractive.

I grew up a fat kid in a small town in Minnesota who was a tomboy and happened to play a mean violin. My goal was to be a famous concert artist some day.

Gratitude needs to come back in a big way and I hope to encourage people to get involved.
