👑 Seeking some diva inspiration?

Plus: The simplest Sloppy Joes!

What’s up, Hustlers! 

This is not a dress rehearsal.

We need to have a certain element of urgency about our lives.

If you’re waiting for the right time, I promise you, the secret is that there is no right time.

Just start with one small step. Little by little amounts to a lot.

 .WHAT I’M LISTENING TO. 

Diva Inspiration 🎵 Our inner voice is the most powerful conversation we have. When you tell yourself, "I can't, I won't, historically I haven't," you're stuck. Let’s reframe that story. When I'm at the gym, lifting heavy weights, I tell myself, "I am that b*tch!"

In my recent podcast episode with Adam Grant, he recommended psychologist Ethan Kross’s book, "Chatter." Kross explains how our self-talk shapes our lives, work, and relationships, based on his brain research. He warns about the negative effects of harmful self-talk—what he calls "chatter"—and shares tools and techniques for improving our inner dialogue.

If you need a reminder that "you are that b*tch," check out this 🔥 playlist from my re-release of "Shut Up and Run" ⬇️

 .WHAT I’M INSPIRED BY. 

Badass Mothers ❤️‍🔥 Y'all know I believe caregivers are real-life superheroes. Femita Ayanbeku is the epitome of this—qualifying for the Paris Paralympics just months after giving birth to her daughter.

Similarly, in the "Sprint" documentary on Netflix, Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce opens up about how motherhood has fueled her sprinting career. She says, "If anything, it enhances who you are. So, be strong and believe that you too can accomplish great things."

I'm endlessly inspired by these badass mamas and thankful for the powerful examples they're setting for the world. 💪 

Question: How do I find my purpose?

— Danielle

Answer: Finding your purpose isn't a one-size-fits-all journey. The path and the destination look different for everyone. Here are a few strategies that can help guide you to purpose:

🔎 Seek Out New Experiences: Put yourself in situations where you can gain a fresh perspective. This can range from traveling, starting a new job, or even making a new friend. Observe the strengths that are revealed in these unexpected circumstances.

🗺️ Find Clues in Your Curiosities: Lead with curiosity rather than judgment. Pay attention to what naturally interests you and follow those clues.

❓️ Ask Your Community: Ask your coworkers, friends, and family what they appreciate about you and what they see as your strengths. Use this feedback to double down on what you're already good at.
