Plus: The best vegan alfredo!
What’s up, Hustlers!
That second wind people talk about? It’s not luck. It’s a choice, a decision to keep showing up when distractions try to pull you off course.
In my training and in life, what feels out of reach becomes achievable when I continuously lock in.
Keep your focus sharp, and watch yourself reach new levels.

.WHAT I’M COOKING.
Vegan Alfredo 🍝 Need a quick, creamy, and delicious way to level up your pasta game? My plant-based alfredo sauce has got you covered. Made with simple ingredients like silken tofu and nutritional yeast, this sauce is perfect for when you need something easy, nutritious, and comforting. ⬇️
Ingredients:
1 block silken tofu (15 oz)
3 tablespoons nutritional yeast
2 tablespoons lemon juice
3 cloves garlic
1/2 teaspoon red chili flakes
1 cup plant-based milk
2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
Salt and pepper to taste
1 1/2 cups pasta water (use to thin the sauce as needed)
Your favorite pasta. I’ve been loving the Living Now® Gluten-Free Multigrain & Cauliflower Pastas, made with four simple, gluten-free ingredients: rice, cauliflower, quinoa, and amaranth. These pastas hold their shape, aren’t gummy, and taste amazing! For a limited time, use code NOWPIVOT20 for 20% off at nowfoods.com!
Instructions:
Throw all the ingredients into a blender and blend until silky smooth. Let the sauce rest for a few minutes to thicken up. If you like it thinner, add a little of the reserved pasta water to reach your ideal creamy consistency.
When you're ready, toss the sauce onto your favorite cooked pasta and heat on medium until warmed through.
Serve it up and enjoy!
.WHAT I’M LOVING.
Books on the Beach 📚️ With summer in full swing, I’ve been dialing back on screentime and diving into books. I crushed a whole stack over the past few weeks, and I’ve got some new recommendations that you'll love. ⬇️
Look in the Mirror by Catherine Steadman: This mystery had me on the edge of my seat! My mom and sister devoured it right after me, and we couldn’t stop talking about it. If you love mind-bending twists, this one’s a must.
Bad Summer People by Emma Rosenblum: Don't let the beach town setting fool you—this story is anything but picture-perfect. It dives headfirst into scandal, gossip, and hidden drama, with twists that had me hooked from the start.
The Next Mrs. Parish by Liv Constantine: This sequel takes things to the next level with even more twists and turns. Just when you think you’ve got it figured out, another surprise changes everything. Loved it!
Fourth Wing and Iron Flame by Rebecca Yarros: Dragon training? Yes, please. I've read both (500+ page) books already! They gave me all the fierce vibes with a side of spice for my romantic fantasy fans. 👀
.WHAT I’M JOURNALING ABOUT.
My Perfect Day ✏️ Journaling is a powerful wellness tool that connects the mind and body. In this podcast, Dr. Martha Beck, a Harvard-trained sociologist and bestselling author, breaks down frameworks for connecting with your authentic self. I love how she guides you through the exercise of writing down your perfect day. It’s a simple yet transformative way to tap into your deepest desires and align your life with what truly matters. This episode is full of practical tools to help you live with more intention and purpose. Check it out! ⬇️
Question: What advice would you give to someone who’s facing challenges on their personal or professional journey?
Answer: First, trust the struggle. Being brave enough to own your journey means embracing the challenges that come with it. The journeys I admire, whether in business, life, or even from people like my mother (who is a total superhero), are rooted in resilience and bravery. I have "resilient stock" tattooed on my ribcage in honor of my mom, but also as a reminder that every great story requires guts.
Remember, keep showing up. There’s power in consistency. Progress is often invisible, but every step adds up. It’s the daily grind, the moments when no one is watching, that ultimately lead to success. Trust that even the smallest effort is moving you forward.
