Meet the G20 Contributors: Jovi Casie

All of the great content we share is brought to you by the GenTwenty team. We’re introducing you to the names and faces behind the site in this special series. 

What is your first and last name? 

Jovi McNaughton (But I go by Jovi Casie) 

Where do you live?

San Diego, California

How did you first hear about GenTwenty?

Online, when I was writing for another blog at the time. So happy I stumbled upon GenTwenty and applied. It has changed my life in a significant way and sparked my love for writing! 

When did you start writing for GenTwenty?

I initially started writing around 2014 and then took a break after I had my daughter. Then I started again in 2020. So happy to be writing for GenTwenty again! 

If you had an extra hour in the day and you could do whatever you wanted, what would you do and why?

I would probably get a longer workout in because I find it hard to fit in my busy schedule. Or actually take the extra hour to journal more. I used to journal more when I was younger, but I can hardly find the time for it now. 

How do you recharge when you are stressed?

I either have some time to myself, but going to a plant store or a coffee shop alone, or I write. Writing is my getaway time. 

Favorite sweet or savory treat?

Spicy Mexican candy or fruit with chamoy and Tajín. It’s my weakness! 

What’s the best piece of advice you would give to another twenty-something?

Think more about your decisions, start early with managing your money effectively and smartly, and don’t rush to be in love. Enjoy your twenties, have fun, but also make smart moves so that you can have even more liberty in your thirties and forties.
