Plus: How to aid your microbiome
Whatās up, Hustlers!
Greatness doesn't come from settling for average. It comes from relentless DEDICATION, RESILIENCE, and an UNYIELDING BELIEF in your own abilities.
I wake up with a fire within me that refuses to settle for mediocrity. Whether it's conquering my fitness goals or pursuing my dreams, I am determined to push myself beyond limits.
Today, look in the mirror and tell yourself, "I am strong. I am unstoppable. I will conquer today with hustle and determination."

.WHAT IāM EATING
30 varieties of plants, legumes and fruits per week š„ Hustlers, check this out - The American Gut Project found that eating a wide variety of plants, legumes, and fruits helps aid the microbiome, which is key to your overall health.
My goal? Getting in 30 different varieties of plants, legumes, and fruits.
That number might seem daunting, but think about eating the rainbow and adding some extra color to your meals. Here are a few ways Iām getting my variety:
Sneak greens into my smoothies (trust me, you won't even taste them with all the fruit and protein flavors)
Layer veggies in my sandwiches
Add mint and berries to my water
Sprinkle sprouts, hemp hearts, and chia seeds on top of my dishes
Donāt forget - herbs and spices count too!

.WHAT IāM EXCITED FOR.
Athlos šāāļø Did you know that during an Olympic year, professional athletes often earn less than $25k? Alexis Ohanian is changing the game.
A few weeks ago, I had the incredible opportunity to sit down with Alexis Ohanian, co-founder of Reddit and husband of Serena Williams. We talked about his tools for productivity and innovation, and he shared his vision for elevating women's track through his groundbreaking new project, Athlos. This event will bring together the fastest women in the world and will be held in New York on September 26.
Alexis explained, "You're gonna experience the sport in a way it should be, not just during the Olympics. We're creating more access for fans, allowing them to see these women not just when they're on the track, but also get to know them as individuals."
Athlos will feature the largest prize purse in track and field history, with the winner receiving $60,000ādouble what an athlete would make winning a Diamond League final.
I am beyond excited for the growth and focus on equality in women's sports and can't wait for this event! š
.WHAT IāM SHARING.
Journaling prompt to try this week āļø Reflect on a good effort that you put into something recently. Oftentimes weāre on to the next finish line so quickly, that we donāt take the time to properly celebrate the last one. It doesnāt need to be an iconic moment. Tiny victories hold great power.
Iād love to hear about what yāall are celebrating. Hit reply and let me know!
.WHAT I PRIORITIZE.
A good nightās sleep š¤ Did yāall know that people who work out regularly tend to sleep at hotter temperatures? Our partner, Coop, breaks down why it's important to sleep in a cool environment. With cooler sleep, youāll experience:
Reduced Stress Levels
Quicker Time to Fall Asleep
Improved Immune System Functionality
Increased Energy Levels During the Day
Improved Muscle Recovery
Sleep hygiene is a cornerstone of my overall wellness. If you donāt have the right energy, you canāt show up as your best self. Personally, I prioritize 9 hours of sleep every night, but most of us need between 7-9 hours to feel our best.
To get a cool environment for my 9 hours, I love Coop's Eden Pillowsāthey're adjustable and customizable to your posture and sleep position. You can check out all Coop's cooling pillows, sheets, and blankets for that perfect, refreshing sleep using this link. #ad
