First thing you did this morning? Hit snooze - then I made espressos for Sammy and I to sip slowly back in bed.

What does 'wellness' mean to you? Taking the time to invest in your health, both physically and mentally each day. These can be small rituals from getting enough sleep, taking a BEAR supplement with a large glass of water each morning, spending time in the sunshine, or having a great conversation with a person that inspires you. Wellness is an innate feeling of being happy, confident and calm.

Products found in your shower/by your bath? Oribe Gold Lust Repair + Restore shampoo and conditioner, Omorovicza Moor Cream Cleanser, REN Atlantic Kelp and Magnesium anti-fatigue Body Wash

Three things that can always be found in your kitchen cupboard? BEAR Nourish + Repair Superpowders, Brookfarm muesli, coffee, herbal tea, honey, Byron Bay cookies.

I feel most creatively fulfilled when... I have the freedom and courage to take risks and do things differently

I'm currently working on... Our BEAR Leaders of Style III event, BEAR product development in a new category, our next BEAR campaign, a website update for Originals, our international travel plans for March, our bathroom renovations for Autumn, and learning the art of Dressage riding...

This time last year, I wish I knew... That burnout is constant - and to try and slow down a little

I'm grateful for... Love, health and happiness
