Arrived in Boston at The Pause Festival. 💗

I had the opportunity to sit in a room filled with incredible women from different industries, backgrounds, and walks of life and talk about something that means so much to me: the idea that our dreams don’t have an expiration date.

Making history as the first married woman, first mother, and first woman in her 30s to become Miss USA has taught me that life doesn’t have to follow one timeline. We don’t have to choose between family and ambition, motherhood and our careers, or who we are today and who we’re still becoming.

I’m also incredibly honored to have received The Pause Festival’s Purpose in Action Award, recognizing the way I’ve used this platform to lead through service, turn visibility into meaningful action, and create an impact for others. To be recognized for the purpose behind this crown means more than I can put into words. 👑

Thank you to The Pause Festival and baddiebestiespod for creating a space for women to pause, reconnect, pour back into themselves, and celebrate every version of their journey and for allowing me to share a little bit of mine.

Here’s to continuing to evolve, break barriers, and make room for the women coming behind us. 💗
