The self doubt can be a fantastic opportunity to self-reflect and see where you can grow and be stronger.

I can be a bit of an overachiever and always dance that line of balance between giving myself to work versus giving time to myself and loved ones.

I was a tomboy growing up and then fell into the world of theatre and musical theatre. A girlfriend introduced me to yoga in college and I was hooked. I didn't really know anything about it except that it was the highlight of my week. I ended up graduating from the University of Virginia and moving to Los Angeles where I could continue acting and do a yoga teacher training. I went from practicing once or twice a week to several hours everyday. I loved it.

Happiness is a state a mind, not a dress size.

There will always be people who can do it better than you, but that's a good thing! Start to see competition as inspiration — without envy.
