Whatās up, Hustlers!
You woke up todayāmight as well be a badass.
Youāve already got the gift. Now itās on you to decide how to use it. Donāt wait for the perfect moment or the perfect mood. Take the shot. Wear the outfit. Say the thing. Ordinary is optional.
What would today look like if you were twice as strong and twice as confident?

.WHATāS IN MY AIRPODS.
The neglected power of siblings šØāš©āš§āš¦ In this episode of ReThinking with Adam Grant, Susan DominusāNew York Times Magazine writer and author of The Family Dynamicāchallenges some long-held beliefs about parenting and success. She makes a compelling case that siblings may have a greater impact on who we become than our parents do. The conversation digs into ambition, identity, birth order, and the ripple effects of growing up side by side. If youāre thinking about your own upbringing or how youāre showing up for your kids, this oneās worth a listen.
.WHAT IāM COOKING.
Protein-packed vegan quesadillas š„¬ When I need something quick, satisfying, and recovery-ready after a workout, quesadillas are a go-to. They hit the trifecta: protein, carbs, and flavor. The best part? Theyāre easy to throw together with whatever Iāve got in the fridge. Hereās what I whipped up recently:
SautƩ mushrooms and onions until golden. Remove from the pan and mix in a bowl with your favorite beans.
In the same pan, sautƩ spinach and tomatoes with your go-to seasonings. Remove once softened.
Warm a protein tortilla in the pan, then layer on the bean-mushroom-onion mix, spinach, tomatoes, and a vegan cheese (Iām into the cashew cheese from Shrimu).
Top with another tortilla and cook on both sides until crispy and golden.
To serve, I like adding something fermented for a gut boost like kimchi or sauerkraut, and a handful of microgreens for extra crunch and nutrients.
Quick, customizable, and perfect for refueling the hustle.

.WHAT IāM FOCUSING ON.
Consistency on vacation š This month is packed with travel and family time, but Iām still honoring the hustle. Consistency doesnāt mean rigidity. Itās about staying aligned with your goals, even when routines shift. Hereās how Iāve been keeping steady on the move:
Write it down āļø I jot down a few clear, realistic goals for the week. A short list keeps me grounded and gives my days direction.
Plan for it š Workouts go on the calendar like any meeting. If itās scheduled, itās more likely to happen.
Bend so you donāt break š¤øāāļø Some days donāt go to plan. Thatās okay. Iāll trade a run for a walk or a stretch, but I still show up.
Zoom out šÆ Travel goals arenāt always about PRs, they can be about staying connected to your energy and your why.
Adjust expectations š“ A few treats or missed workouts wonāt derail your progress. Remember to enjoy the moment.
Keep showing up, even if the version looks different each day. šŖ

Question: How do you balance everything?
Answer: I donāt. I prioritize. Balance is a myth.
Iāve let go of the idea that balance means doing everything, all at once, perfectly. You canāt give 100% of your time to everything at the same time. What I can do is align my actions and time with intention. That means saying no to anything that doesnāt fit into my values or vision.
I donāt feel pressure to do it all and that realization has been both freeing and powerful. Iām proud when I delegate. Iām proud when I ask for what I need. Because for me, balance isnāt about doing it allāitās about doing what matters with clarity and purpose.
Got a question for me? Reply to this email and let me know whatās on your mind.
Thanks for reading, Hustlers. Go out there, pivot with power, and stay curious about whatās next.
