Q: Beach Riot has such a distinct, sun-soaked energy. What does wellness look like for you in this season of life?
A: Right now, wellness is all about balance for me. I juggle a lot of roles. I am a mom, founder, friend, wife, and daughter...just to name a few. One of my biggest priorities is working out with my trainer a few times a week. It helps me feel strong, energized, and ready to take on everything the week brings. But wellness goes beyond physical fitness. It means prioritizing good sleep (shoutout to Nightcap, I am obsessed!), nourishing my body with foods that fuel me, and creating moments throughout the day to slow down and recharge. Wellness is being able to be fully present, whether I am in a meeting, having dinner with my family, or spending time with friends. It's not about perfection. It is about finding balance and building habits that help me show up as the best version of myself in every role I play.
Q: As a founder and mom, how do you create small rituals that help you feel grounded during busy weeks?
A: Spending time with my family and my two kids keeps me grounded. I make it a priority to be present for both the big milestones and the everyday moments. I also thrive on structure, so I plan my weeks with intention. Having a clear sense of what each day holds allows me to be more productive and present. Some days are dedicated to design meetings, while others are focused on marketing, strategy, or stacking appointments. Oh, I also love to end my day with Bravo, that's my reward at the end of the day!
Q: Beach Riot celebrates confidence, movement, and feeling good in your body. How has your relationship with wellness evolved over the years?
A: I've been in the fashion industry for a long time, and I've seen countless phases of body image, health, and wellness fads and trends come and go. But becoming a mom, and especially having a daughter, shifted my perspective in a profound way. Wellness is about so much more than appearance. It's about feeling good from the inside out, taking care of yourself, and building habits that support your physical and mental well-being. Most importantly, I've learned that wellness looks different for everyone. There is no one-size-fits-all approach. What matters most is finding what works for you and focusing on being healthy, happy, and confident in your own skin.
Q: What are three things currently in your wellness lineup?
1. Monthly facials — they’re one thing I consistently prioritize and always make me feel refreshed.
2. Daily movement, whether it’s Pilates, strength training, or simply getting outside for a walk.
3. Cooking at home more. It helps me eat better, slow down, and spend quality time with my family around the table.
Q: Which Juna product is your favorite right now, and how do you like to use it?
A: The Juna Nightcap gummies are one of my Holy Grail products. I can’t sleep well without them. I also love the Detox Chlorophyll Drops. I always add them to my water and are especially necessary after an indulgent meal! I love to bring them with me when I travel.
Q: What advice would you give to someone trying to build a more balanced, feel-good routine without overcomplicating it?
A: Make it attainable. Life is busy, and I do not have time for a 50-step morning or nighttime routine. I focus on simplifying things by choosing fewer, more effective products and habits that fit seamlessly into my day. I also think it's important to find wellness practices you genuinely enjoy. Whether it's supplements, beauty products, workouts, or a simple daily ritual, you're much more likely to stick with something if you love it.
