šŸ‘‘ Impossibility is an opinion

Plus: Build a habit scorecard

What’s up, Hustlers! 

Impossibility is an opinion, and usually a wrong one.

The next time doubt creeps in, flip the script and ask yourself: Why not me? Why not be the one who takes the leap, runs the extra mile, or builds something bigger than what’s been done before? The limits we accept are often the ones we never question.

Let’s challenge those limiting beliefs. Let’s rewrite the rules.

 .WHAT I’M CELEBRATING. 

Women’s History Month ā¤ļøā€šŸ”„ I’m grateful for a lifetime of strong women showing me what’s possible. Now, I get to pass that fire forward. I’m making sure Athena knows there are no limits—just opportunities waiting to be claimed.

This month, I’m reflecting on the women who shaped me—their resilience, hustle, and unshakable belief that we belong in every room we step into. I’m writing down their stories and lessons, starting with my mom. She recently retired after 40+ years in medicine, breaking barriers as the first Latina in many rooms. She proved you can be both a mother and a doctor, a caregiver and a badass. Now, as a mom, I’m committed to showing my kids they don’t have to choose just one identity—they can be all things.

Take a moment to reflect on the badass women in your life. Put their stories on paper and let their strength fuel your next move. ā¬‡ļø 

šŸ“ Who are the women who paved the way for you? What lessons did they pass down, and how are you carrying that legacy forward?

 .WHAT I’M BUILDING. 

My Habit Scorecard šŸ“ Lately I’ve been thinking a lot about habits and how they align with our identities. The things we do daily shape who we become—so why not track them? Enter: the Habit Scorecard.

Here’s how it works:

1ļøāƒ£ Track your day: In the notes on your phone or a journal, write down everything you do in a day—brushing your teeth, grabbing your coffee, working out, scrolling social media—no habit is too small.

2ļøāƒ£ Review your list: After 24 hours, go through each habit and ask yourself: Is this bringing me closer to the identity I want?

3ļøāƒ£ Score it: Add a (+) for habits that align, a (-) for those that don’t, and a (+/–) for neutral ones.

Most habits will be neutral or positive—but the negatives? That’s where the opportunity lies. Those are the patterns that might be holding you back, the ones that deserve a second look. Replace just one negative habit with something that moves you closer to your goals, and over time, those small wins will stack up. šŸ’Ŗ 

 .WHAT I’M READING. 

Atlas of the Heart by BrenĆ© Brown šŸ“• I'm a huge fan of BrenĆ© Brown, and this book is a game-changer. It explores 87 emotions and experiences that define what it means to be human. You know that feeling when something is weighing on you, but you can’t quite put it into words? This book gives you the tools to name your emotions—because once you name them, you can start to process them.

Recently, I’ve been thinking about how emotions stick with us—sometimes longer than we realize. Have you ever carried a feeling for days without realizing how much weight it was adding? I’ve started using a simple rule: If something is still bothering me 24 hours later, that’s my cue to address it. Say something. Write it down. Talk it out. Within 48 hours, I make sure I’ve released it so I’m not holding onto energy that isn’t serving me.

What emotions are you carrying that you’re ready to unload?

Question: As a mid-40s woman I know I need to prioritize strength training but all I am motivated to do is cardio. When I schedule a strength day, I typically will not get out of bed to do it and instead default to cardio. Any advice?

Answer: First off—props to you for moving your body and recognizing that strength training deserves a spot in your routine. The key is to meet yourself where you are and make strength feel just as non-negotiable as cardio. Here are two things to keep in mind:

1ļøāƒ£ Stack it with what you love. If cardio is your go-to, start with a quick run or ride, then transition into just 10-15 minutes of strength. Over time, you’ll build the habit without the resistance.

2ļøāƒ£ Change the story. If ā€œstrength dayā€ feels like a chore, shift the mindset. Strength training is the fountain of youth. Think of it as training for longevity, injury prevention, or simply feeling stronger in everyday life. Lifting weights isn’t taking away from your fitness—it’s adding to it.

Start small, stay consistent, and remind yourself: You’re not losing your cardio edge—you’re gaining strength for the long run. šŸ’Ŗ
