How did the idea for your Boss Family Workouts come to you?

So when we decided that we were going to do these groove-along sessions with each other.

So we truly, honestly started out by staying active ourselves but decided to be a source for others.

In turn, we built an incredible, supportive, and fun community that loves to move together.

Who choreographs the routines or do you and tWitch do it together?

We just put on a song and start dancing together and see where it goes.

What workouts do you love to do other than dancing?

I also love staying active doing yoga, running, and weight training.

Honestly… chasing after all of our kids.

They keep us active all day long…and I meanall day long!

Thats why partnering with Banana Boat on their #ProtectTheFun campaign was such a perfect fit for me.

Theyre a brand that encourages families to make the most of their time outdoors.

What are your tips for getting kids who hate sunscreen to wear it?

SPF should be applied every single daynot just when youre heading to the beach.

Plus, its super easy to apply, and its reef-friendly.

Personal space is very important right now, so we can appreciate the times we come together.

We enjoy cooking together as a couple and trying new recipes.

And, of course, sharing a little slow dance while cooking.

Youve been with your husband tWitch for a long time.

What are your tips for a long-lasting marriage?

Communication and remembering your happiness depends on you.

We cant rely on the other to bring us happiness.

Its important to have your own personal interests and growth, especially at this time.

Weve been together 10 years, and married six!

Youve been outspoken about social justice in regards to Black Lives Matter.

Can you speak about why its so important for you and your family to be vocal about it?

I stand with BLM.
