Whatās up, Hustlers!
Are you ready to make your goals a priority?
Replace āI donāt have timeā with āit doesnāt matter to me.ā
Let that sink in.
Make it matter to make it happen. Everyone is busy and thereās never a perfect time to get uncomfortable.
Just start.

.WHAT IāM SHARING.
Cannes Lions Highlights āļø If we want to smash limitations and other peopleās expectations, we need to surround ourselves with innovators and hustlers who challenge us to think bigger. That's why I said HELL YES to the opportunity to be in Cannes, France for the Cannes Lions Festival of Creativity. Powerful conversations and amazing musical performances in a beautiful location left me feeling inspired. I can't wait to share more about my trip, but here are a few highlights for my Pivot fam:
Conversation with Mastercard CMO, Raja Rajamannar š§” We talked about all things mental strength, mental health, and what it means to be a ācorporate athlete.ā
Supporting friends š«¶ My teammates absolutely crushed their speeches, musical sets, and conversations. Their passion and talent reminded me how lucky I am to have such incredible friends in my life.
Fireside chat and dinner at the Women's Sports House with Deep Blue Sports + Entertainment & Axios š Surrounded by badass womenāOlympic athletes, pro soccer players, and top NBA picks. The energy was off the charts!
Shaboozey!
Musical performances šµ John Legend, Shaboozey, Tyla, and Benson Boone were incredible. Letās just say, any floor can be a dance floor when the music was this good!
.WHAT IāM PACKING.
Airplane Essentials š« Traveling can be a marathon in itself. Just like prepping for a run, I always make sure I'm ready for a flight. Here are my essentials to stay comfortable and relaxed even at 35,000 feet:
Heated Eye Mask: Perfect for dry eyes and a bit of in-flight relaxation.
Adjustable Neck Pillow: Essential for avoiding neck cramps on long flights.
Stress CBD Drops: Help keep stress in check and stay calm during turbulence.
Audible Book: A great way to pass the time with a good story or some motivation.
*Pro Tip: The best way to avoid jet lag is to immediately get some movement in the sun.
Safe travels, fam!
.WHAT IāM READING.
The State of Latinas in Corporate America. š° Last week, our friends at LeanIn.Org released the first-ever State of Latinas in Corporate America report. This report draws on Lean In and McKinsey & Companyās annual Women in the Workplace studyāthe largest of its kindāand shines a light on the unique challenges Latinas face in the workplace. It's packed with actionable recommendations for companies to prioritize the advancement of Latinas.
Some key findings include:
Latinas face the biggest drop in representation from entry-level to the C-suite
Latinas remain highly ambitious despite getting less support to advance
A crucial benefit remains out of reach for many Latinas: Flexibility
Microaggressions further disadvantage Latinas in the workplace
As a testament to my abuela's dreams, I'm committed to turning dreams into reality for others. Let's amplify Latina voices and make a change. Read the full report here:
Question: What is the starting foundation for consistency? Iām currently on the struggle bus.
Answer: Start with something small and manageable, something you can commit to for one week that takes two minutes or less each day. If you find yourself slipping, take a step back and identify the roadblocks. Then, make your goals even smaller.
Our ideal stretch goal is usually just 4-5% beyond our current abilities. So, if you start falling off, it might mean you've taken on too much at once.
For example, I recently had a goal to read one chapter of my book every night, but it wasnāt working for me. I adjusted it to reading just two pages a day. That made all the differenceāit was achievable and kept me consistent.
