"This is the first time in a very long time that I feel like I can take a breath. I’m enjoying things slowed down and having more time to focus on what really matters in life,” the 33-year-old reality star and Uncommon James mogul told Us Weekly.
The mom of three said that she's using the time she has right now for being a good mother and some self-care.

"I’m not thinking about what I want to be doing next year or the year after that. I’ve driven myself crazy with that mentality the past few years. Right now, I just want to be present and enjoy this journey."

“And for me that means working out, eating healthy and having balance in my life," she explained. "Getting rid of the things that don’t bring me joy. … I hate negativity. I will run the other way from it, but I’ve had to learn how to cut toxicity out of my life as I’ve gotten older.”
