For down time, Daphney says, "Netflix...talking about our day..every little bit counts for us." Those rare moments she finds herself alone, a glass of wine and a good WIFI signal are her best friends. Online shopping is Mrs. Carter's guilty pleasure. It provides her "therapy."
As a Mother, wearer/bearer of so many hats, I asked her to tell me about a future conversation with her daughter, and she said she would tell her not to accept no for an answer and to "PUSH forward and take it ALL as a challenge." I must admit, I especially loved what she said she will tell her sons: "Be supportive. Control your ego and pride. Set family goals and stay focused." Then she emphatically said, with ALL the positive energy in the world, "Step in. Step Up. Be A Man."
Daphney Carter is doing it all. A successful nurse practitioner, business owner, adoring wife, and admirable mother and it does not stop there. She is in the pursuit of the title, "Author". She has written two books due out within the year.
With having it all and seemingly doing it all, I asked Daphney, "What does she want to be remembered as?" Her reply, "I want to be known as Daphney the resource." She is well on her way to solidifying that reputation. Daphney Carter, simply put, is a Boss, as in ALL that. Keep up with Daphney on Facebook.
Daphney starts her day with her family and ends it the same way. They are the bookends to her daily journey of success, and her future success. She begins this daily journey at 5 AM with a workout. She maintains a 40-45 hour work week like the rest of us as a Nurse Practitioner, seeing about 15-20 patients a day. By 6 PM, she is back at her original job, wife and Mommy.
