šŸ‘‘ Failure is feedback

Plus: How to prioritize self-love

Whatā€™s up, Hustlers! 

What if failure is the key to your next level?

Setbacks happenā€”plans donā€™t always go as expected, but failure isnā€™t the endā€”itā€™s feedback. Who you are is defined by how you get back up. Failure is an invitation to interrogate limiting beliefs and rewrite the narrative.

Time to flip the scriptā€”how are you turning that setback into a setup?

Self-Love šŸ’— Letā€™s get one thing straightā€”self-love is not selfish. Before we pour into relationships with others, we have to make sure weā€™re pouring into ourselves. I committed to self-love long before I met my husband (I have the tattoo to prove it). Itā€™s the foundation for every relationship weā€™ll ever have. If the conversation between our ears isnā€™t strong, kind, and empowering, how can we expect to show up fully for the people in our lives?

If youā€™re struggling to build that self-love muscle or just need a reset, here are a few ways to guide yourself back to a healthy mindset:

  • šŸ’– Hype yourself up daily. Speak to yourself like you would a friend. Try mirror pep talksā€”look yourself in the eye and say: You are strong, you are capable, and you deserve every good thing coming your way.

  • šŸ“– Journal your greatest hits. Write down a recent moment where you crushed it. Maybe it was finishing a tough workout, setting a boundary, or showing up for yourself when it wasnā€™t easy. Reflecting on these wins rewires the narrative in your mind.

  • āœØ Romanticize your life. Take yourself on a solo date, dress up just because, or savor that morning coffee like itā€™s a five-star experience. Self-love is a practice, not a destinationā€”so celebrate yourself along the way.

Happy Valentineā€™s Day, hustlers. Rememberā€”you are your own greatest love story. šŸ’•

Hot chocolate... but make it hydrating ā˜•ļø As temps drop, hydration gets trickier. Youā€™re still losing water even when youā€™re not sweating, and indoor heating dries you out without you even noticing.

Enter LMNTā€™s chocolate electrolytes. Iā€™m OBSESSED. Their Chocolate Medley flavors (Chocolate Mint, Chocolate Chai, and Chocolate Raspberry) taste like the rich, cozy hot cocoa I grew up drinkingā€”no joke. After we put the kids to bed, Drew and I split a packet, mix it into hot water, and sometimes throw in a few vegan marshmallows before finally sinking into the couch. A little salty, a little sweet, and the perfect way to wind down while keeping hydration in check.

Question: Do you ever freeze your tofu?

- Barbara

Answer: Yes! Freezing tofu is a game-changer. It helps get rid of excess moisture, making it crisp up better when cooked. It also gives it a firmer, meatier texture that soaks up marinades like a spongeā€”so every bite is packed with flavor. Plus, itā€™s an easy way to keep tofu stocked and ready for quick, protein-packed meals.

Bon AppĆ©tit even breaks down the science behind itā€”freezing changes the structure of tofu, creating tiny pockets that enhance its chew and absorbency.
