I love domestic life.

I don't believe that life is linear. I think of it as circles - concentric circles that connect.

Is there anything better than making a kid laugh?

For this relay there was a little more pressure because it's the 200, you have to make sure you swim it smart. The 100 was more about energy.

Even the simplest things, I'm guilty of making really bad decisions a lot of the time.

Because whatever I feel inside, it has a place to go. It just saves me over and over and over again.

I feel like something has changed for me, but it’s a new change, so it’s going to be hard for me to describe. Maybe it has something to do with turning 30. I don’t feel as shy or nervous or self-conscious. I have more confidence that I can handle what life brings me. I don’t feel scared to have an idea and express it. I feel giddy about it because it’s a complete transformation. It’s like I’ve found my voice.
