Meditation has really helped with keeping my center.

I have a skill set that often helps me get through hurtful moments or experiences. However, sometimes when the pain cuts really deep, my normal go-to exercises just won't work.

I feel most alive when I'm surrounded by family and friends, and when I am working.

I learned how to get rid of the Southern accent when I was, like, 11 years old and living in New York for the summer doing modeling and commercials and auditioning for Broadway. The mother I lived with for the summer taught me how to drop my Southern accent.

Meditation has really helped with keeping my center.

Reminding myself of all that I have to be thankful for really helps ground me and keeps me from tipping over into that negative place.

Going for a walk is always helpful for me. I also love gratitude exercises.
