    How does practicing a work-life balance create a more sustainable life for you? How might it contribute to sustainability more broadly?

    Balance is so important but something that is so easily passed over. When there is balance between work-life, there is space to make decisions without heightened emotions and have the ability to respond not react.

    What was it like to practice mindfulness? If this is a practice for you already, what was something new you understood in practicing during Earth Month?

    Something new that I discovered was how much joy nature provides. I was meditating on moments of joy and any moments of joy I thought of involved being in the presence of nature. The abundance of beauty that the Earth provides is truly jaw dropping.

    What was the tastiest sustainable seafood meal you ever had or had recently? Did you make it? Can you share a recipe?

    I do not eat meat anymore but I do remember a special seafood dish that brought me comfort. A friend of the family made a shrimp scampi dish that no one else was obsessed with except me. Every time he knew that my family was coming over, he would make me a little bowl of the shrimp scampi and it was delicious.

    The tastiest vegan meal I have made recently would have to be my homemade cashew cheese baked mac n cheese. It is always a yummy comfort food when it’s cold.

    When buying in bulk, I will sometimes use plastic containers that I end up throwing away but instead I could reuse those containers or use mason jars when buying in bulk.
