Tabitha Brown’s story is one of going from an Uber driver to a star. The entrepreneur moved to Los Angeles in hopes of making it as an actress. Her husband, Chance Brown, even took a job with the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) to support his wife’s vision.
Tabitha was taking a break as an Uber driver in 2017 when she decided to record herself enjoying a meal from Whole Foods. Her vibrant spirit in the video captivated viewers and caught the attention of Whole Foods executives. Tabitha and Chance Brown have been building their empire in the spotlight ever since.
It was during a recent interview with New Beauty that Tabitha Brown revealed how she shields herself from burnout.
“I work out every day to kick-start my mornings, and I make time for meditation and prayer as part of my daily routine,” the author shared. “A hot sauna is my go-to for relaxation—it’s like a daily reset.”
“I love spending quality time with my dog and family, and I make sure to schedule breaks where I completely unplug from work,” Brown said. “I’m also all about vacations and a good spa day, especially couples’ massages with my husband—it’s part of my self-care. Cooking has become a creative outlet for me, too; I love getting in the kitchen and experimenting as I go.”
Hello There, Sunshine is available wherever books are sold.
