👑 The hustle doesn’t need applause

How do you move when no one’s watching?

When the world’s quiet. When there’s no crowd. No cameras.

That’s the work that defines you. That’s where strength is forged and confidence is built. Rep by rep, choice by choice.

Keep showing up. For the hustle. For the discipline. For you.

 .WHAT I’M ASKING. 

How do you know when to push and when to pause? ↔️ The truth: more isn’t always better. If you’re constantly running on empty, soreness won’t just hit your muscles—it’ll hit your mindset. Recovery is the secret weapon most people overlook.

If you think you may be training too hard, ask yourself:

• Is my energy low, even after a rest day?

• Have I lost excitement for my workouts?

• Is my soreness lingering longer than usual?

• Am I having trouble sleeping or bouncing back?

If the answer is yes, it might be time to shift gears and let recovery take the lead. Here are a few ways to reset your body and mindset:

• Prioritize quality sleep 🛌 Recovery starts with rest. Aim for consistent, deep sleep to let your muscles and mind rebuild.

• Hydrate like it’s your job 💧 Replenish electrolytes and water throughout the day to support muscle repair and energy.

• Stretch and mobilize 🧘 Gentle movement, yoga, or foam rolling can help flush out soreness and keep you limber.

• Fuel smart 🫘 Lean into nutrient-dense meals with enough protein and carbs to support muscle recovery and balance.

• Rest with intention 👂️ Active recovery doesn’t mean doing nothing—it means listening to your body and giving it what it needs, whether that’s a walk, a nap, or a full day off.

Recovery isn’t slowing down. It’s setting yourself up for your next level.

Year of Yes 🙌🏽 I have the new 10th anniversary edition of “Year of Yes” in my hands, and I’m excited to dive in.

Shonda Rhimes completely changed the game with her message about embracing the unknown and saying yes to the opportunities that stretch us. You might remember our Peloton collaboration inspired by her “year of yes” philosophy. Out today, October 14th, this new edition includes 100 pages of new stories, lessons, and reflections from another decade of growth and courage.

What are you saying yes to this month? How are you expanding your comfort zone and letting yourself evolve?

 .WHAT I’M SIPPING. 

Pumpkin Spice 🍂 It’s officially pumpkin spice season, and as you know, I’m a matcha girly. I love Pique’s Sun Goddess Matcha for calm, focused energy and clean fuel that powers my mornings. Lately, I’ve been pairing it with their limited-edition Pumpkin Spice Creamer, and it’s giving all the cozy fall vibes. The creamer adds that warm, spiced flavor with plant-based ingredients that boost energy and healthy fats that support focus—without the sugar crash.

This flavor won’t be around for long, so grab your Sun Goddess Matcha and Pumpkin Spice Creamer before it’s gone! Use my link for 20% off for my favorite matcha bundles (plus surprise gifts while they last). #ad
