👑 What lights you up?

What’s up, Hustlers! 

Is "just okay"... okay?

You already know the answer. We're not here to settle for average or coast on autopilot. Every day is a chance to push past limits and unlock your full potential.

For me, it’s about leaning into what lights me up—whether that’s lacing up for a run, diving into a new project, or creating space for family moments. You deserve more than “just okay” too.

Let’s keep striving for better—together.

How to eat more plants. 🌱 A lot of y’all have told me, “I’m thinking about trying a more plant-based lifestyle, but I’m not sure where to start.”

Here’s the truth: I didn’t go fully plant-based overnight. After a highly questionable chicken salad at a deli near my law firm, I decided it was time for a change. I started small—one meal a week fully plant-based, then one day a week. Ten years later, plants are the foundation of everything I eat. You don’t have to go from 0 to 100 —just take it one day (or one meal) at a time.

One thing that made the transition easier for me? Finding plant-based meals that actually taste GOOD! That’s where Purple Carrot comes in. Their meals make eating plants easy and delicious. It’s all about bold flavors and taking the stress out of figuring out what to cook.

 .WHAT I’M PRACTICING . 

Simple mindset shifts. 🔄 Recently, I sat down with The Everygirl Podcast to share how movement can be a powerful tool for transformation and how small shifts can make feeling your best more achievable than you think. We covered everything from learning to love running (yes, even if you think you hate it!) to my daily wellness routines.

Feeling your best starts with mindset. One shift I’ve been leaning into is the “Should Detox.” It’s simple but powerful. Here’s how it works: Replace “I should” with “I will,” and add a reason. For example, instead of saying, “I should work out,” try, “I will work out because it gives me energy to show up for my family.”

This small change can turn a task into a purpose. Try it out and let me know how it works for you!

 .WHAT I’M EMBRACING. 

Cold weather running. 🥶 It’s been CHILLY in NYC, and while school drop-off takes a little extra grit, running in the cold comes with perks—less heat stress means your body can handle more. If you’re ready to lace up and crush those frosty miles, here are my go-to tips to make it happen:

• Warm up inside. I like to do a quick 5-minute warm-up ride or jog indoors before heading out. Even a round of jumping jacks or burpees will get your blood flowing!

• Turn up the music. Anything Beyoncé or Bad Bunny is guaranteed to turn up the heat.

• Try lemongrass oil. I put a few drops on my neck and face. The scent keeps me feeling awake and alert.

• Layer up wisely. Gloves, a good hat, waterproof socks, and a solid base layer are non-negotiables. Just don’t overdress—you’ll warm up faster than you think!

• Hydrate. Don’t let the cold fool you—hydration is still important, even when you don’t feel thirsty.

Cold weather? No problem. You’ve got this. 💪
