1.What would you do if you knew you couldn’t fail?

I would probably think about having kids later in my life! It is always a thought of failure in a woman's mind if left too late.

2.What three things are "non-negotiables" for you?

Honesty, Loyalty, Kindness

3.What is the biggest lie your Inner Saboteur tells you?

I suffer with imposter syndrome a lot surrounding my intelligence, so probably along the lines that someone will catch me out on this!

4.What is your greatest failure and the greatest gift it gave?

Probably my perfectionism to be perfect in how I looked and worked as a model. It ultimately led me to not working for six months because of burnout. The gift however, was that it led me to learn more about my body and health and changed my career path forever! Although, it certainly didn’t feel like that at the time.

5. What one piece of Sage advice would you give to a future Tapestry participant?

Honour your gut feeling and embrace the unknown because it’s an exciting journey.
