My confession
A creative personality has been passed down to her kids.
"I think my favorite personality trait for myself is creativity. I'm very highly creative, and that's not in a sense of like art or anything. It's um probably more a problem solved and think outside of the box and stuff. So in regards to my kids, I kind of hope that that's something I pass on to them. And when I do see little bits of creativity in them, it just like makes my heart sing and I have these little sparkly moments going, "they're creative like me!" Um yeah, so creativity."

Command the room
"A personality trait that I hope I pass on to my children is that they always have a great spirit, no matter the situation. That they'll walk into a room and basically just command the room. Attention is on them. They know how to interact with people, no matter where they're going through. They leave their emotions at the door and they can get business done. You know, at the end of the day, everyone goes through something."

Kindness and warmheartedness
"My kindness, like I have the biggest heart and I see the goodness in everyone and I really, really, really pray that my baby grows up, so be just as kind and warm hearted and giving as I am, because even though this world is a cruel, cruel place, we gotta teach our children to be the opposite, to be the nurses for this cruel place, you know?"

Be an adaptive person
"Um , personality trait I'd like to pass on to my kids is something actually, I don't have but I want them to have is to be more adaptive, to be able to manage change gracefully and you know, be flexible. I think that's really, really important and it's very helpful."

Adaptability in an ever-changing world
"What personality trait do I hope to pass on to my children ? Uh, probably adaptability, being adaptive. I think with the speed of change and the world and then the sort of increasing speed of change and then just the wealth of information we are fed every day. That adapting that information and this, uh, future world is going to be super important to life, to happiness, to job satisfaction and all that stuff."

willingness to figure things out
"If I could pass one personality trait on to my kids , I would want it to be my willingness to figure things out. Um, you know if my car ever needs working, I usually go on YouTube and try to figure out how to do it myself, or, you know if there's some something around the house that stopped working that I need to fix like a faucet or whatever. There is so much information on the Internet these days, and you could basically figure out anything if you just have the like gumption to do so. So that would be it: the willingness to figure things out ."

Empathy is an important personality trait
"Personality trait that I hope to pass on to my future children is to be empathetic. I don't know if you'd call it a personality trait. But for me, it's something that helps so much with communicating and understanding different people. Understanding perspectives and just being able to get along with others really well, and so that's something that I definitely want to pass on."

If she has kids, she'll pass on the funny.
"If, if I have children... big if. I would hope to pass on my sense of humor. It is incredibly witty and sarcastic. I just don't know that I could handle having a kid that never knew if I was just being funny or I always assumed that I was being serious. I just don't think that's an arrangement that would work out very well for me."

Pass down a good sense of humor.
"Definitely, probably a sense of humor only, because we just need to be able to laugh. Not a lot of people do these days. There's always something going on. There's always troubles, especially when it comes to just... anybody. They have 45 things going on in their mind at one time, and just anxiety is everywhere. We need to be able to enjoy ourselves and laugh. And if I were to pass on one thing to my children, I hope it would be a sense of humor and the ability to laugh."

She wants her children to catch the travel bug.
"So I'm a traveler and I've lived in five different countries now, and I would love for my children to have that same desire to go see new countries, experience new cultures, learn new languages. And just feel safe in themselves enough where they feel comfortable to go out into the world and reinvent themselves. Every time they get to a new place and be able to make new friends everywhere they go."

Pass down selflessness to your children.
"A personality trait that I want to pass on to my children, I think, is that I like helping people quite a lot. Um, it's kind of it's it's a good thing and a downfall. Um, I help absolutely everyone. I go out of my way for it, even if I don't want to most of the time, Um and I think it's a good thing to have, even though it can get tiring."

An empathic personality is one of the best traits
"Um, I believe that I'm a very empathic person, and I think that's a very good trait for me to pass to my children in the future. I hope that that's something That happens. Uh, yeah. I really think that's one of my best traits."

Kids need to have acceptance, like him.
"Ah, acceptance, you know. Acceptance, big time. Because I think that is probably one of the biggest traits that can take you so far. If you don't judge people you know, about whatever they look like, whatever they smell like, like what they're saying. Just don't judge them. Acceptance, I think. is a huge, huge thing. And I hope that my kids know that that is one of the most important things to me: accepting others."

Will Farrell funny gal (at least SHE thinks so)
"My humor. I think I'm so funny. I'm the funniest person I know. And given I don't know a lot of people... but still, I think that makes me like Will Ferrell -level. Maybe it's delusional. It could be."
