Plus: My go-to vegan ziti

Whatās up, Hustlers!
2025 is here, and Iām claiming it as the year of ease and softness.
Badass strength? Thatās always in my DNA, but this year, Iām balancing the grind with intentional moments of rest and reflection. Between the big events and competitions ahead, Iām carving out time for cozy reading sessions and unapologetic rest days.
Leveling up isnāt just about the go-go-goāitās about knowing when to pause.
How are you planning to fuel your hustle in 2025?

.WHAT IāM SHARING.
New Yearās Hot Takes š„ This January, itās all about refining the game plan, doubling down on what works, and moving with purpose. Letās ditch the pressure and focus on what really fuels the hustle:
Consistency > New Goals š£ You donāt need a laundry list of fresh goals to level up. The real flex? Building on what youāve already started. Stick to plans and prior goals you can maintain rather than creating new ones. Hustle isnāt about starting over every Januaryāitās about staying steady on your path and trusting the process.
Self-Care Is the Real New Year Energy ā£ļø Caught up in the ānew year, new youā hype? If youāve been rocking with me, you know we bring that energy year-round. Letās focus on self-care that fuels the long-haul hustle. This isnāt about a January sprintāitās about setting yourself up to thrive all year.
āBoringā Wins Build Big Momentum šŖ The magic is in the boring stuffāan extra glass of water, a 5-minute walk, or hitting 'send' on that email. These small, everyday moves add up to something big. Lean into the boring and watch the progress unfold.
Whatās your New Yearās hot take? Letās hear it!
.WHAT IāM COOKING.
Cozy Vegan Ziti š Iām all about comfort food thatās warm, satisfying, andābonusāeasy. A family staple? This protein-packed baked ziti.
Hereās my ārecipeā:
SautƩ onions and mushrooms in a pan.
Meanwhile, in a blender, combine tofu, preferred seasonings, and half a jar of truffle red sauce to create a hearty, protein-loaded pasta sauce.
Combine the sauce with the onions, mushrooms, and protein pasta, then throw it all into a baking dish.
Top it off with a layer of vegan cheese, and bake at 375Ā°F for 15-20 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Itās cozy, comforting, and perfect for winter nights with the family. Give it a try and let me know what you think!

Atlas approved!

Question: How do I tackle my goals for 2025 without feeling overwhelmed?
Answer: Start small. Ridiculously small. Studies show that progress happens when you push yourself 4-7% outside your comfort zone.
Think about a kid on the monkey barsāif you donāt reach far enough, you stay stuck. But if you stretch too far, youāll fall flat on your face.
The sweet spot? Itās usually smaller than you think. Focus on the next step, not the whole ladder. Youāve got this!
