Plus: Watermelon...all day, every day
Whatās up, Hustlers!
Every day is an opportunity to redefine whatās possible.
Whether itās crushing a workout, achieving a personal goal, or taking steps outside your comfort zone, you hold the pen to your own story.
Remember, growth happens when you dare to push beyond your perceived limits. Friction creates expansion.
What will you conquer today?

.WHAT IāM SHARING.
Warm Weather Running Tips āļø The past few weeks Iāve been loving these sunny, summer miles. Morning beach runs before the day kicks off are my absolute favorite. However, the heat can be tough to beat. Thatās why Iāve got my warm-weather essentials locked and loaded. ā¬ļø
š¦ Water: Hydration is KEY when temps start rising and youāre sweating buckets. Make sure to drink plenty of water before and after a run and consider investing in a running hydration pack to stay hydrated throughout.
š§Electrolytes: When you sweat you lose sodium in your body. Most electrolyte tablets and drinks contain some sodium, but you can also just add a sprinkle of pink Himalayan sea salt to your water.
š§ Rock an Ice-Filled Bandana: This is an easy way to keep yourself cool on hot runs. How to make one: Lay a standard sized bandana out on the floor, put a handful of ice in the middle, pinch the ends together to make a triangle and roll it like a croissant. Tie it loosely around your neck, making sure the ice rests on your back.
š¶ļø Shade: Squinting for any amount of time during a run actually wastes a ton of energy. Invest in a good pair of sunglasses that have a snug fit so they donāt bounce on your face or fall off during your run.

.WHAT IāM JOURNALING ABOUT.
Blessings š Gratitude is the key to experiencing abundance. Taking inventory of everything youāre thankful forāno matter how smallāmakes you realize just how much you actually have. It keeps us grounded, centered, and allows us to celebrate the beauty that already exists in our lives. Try reflecting on your blessings with this journaling prompt. ā¬ļø
What good things have happened or what are you feeling grateful for in the last 24 hours?
My answer: Right now, Iām grateful for my family, summer air, and sunrises at the beach!
.WHAT IāM INSPIRED BY.
Olympic Athletes š„ This yearās Olympic Games were incredible to watch, with women making headlines that inspired us all. Katie Ledecky? She didnāt just win gold in the 1500 freestyle ā she dominated, finishing with a time of 15:30.02, an Olympic record and a full ten seconds ahead of the next finisher. This win marked her eighth career Olympic gold medal, and she now holds the top 20 performances in history for that event. Her secret? Consistency and embracing failure. Preparing for Tokyo, Ledecky told Forbes, āEach day I work on getting better, and even the bad days have something good that comes out of them.ā
Ledecky is the epitome of breaking boxes and shattering limits. Letās continue to show up for ourselves and embrace the friction. Itās the consistent actions that build unstoppable legacies.

Question: What advice do you have for people who struggle to maintain a fitness routine?
Answer: First, get specific. Itās not enough to just say āI want to get fit.ā Dig deeper. What exactly does that look like for you? Maybe itās taking three Peloton classes a week or running 10 miles by the end of the month. The more specific you are, the more clearly you can visualize your finish line.
Next, reverse engineer it. Picture the future version of yourself crushing that goal. Now, whatās it going to take to get there? Lock it in. Schedule those workouts like non-negotiable appointments. Tell your family. Let everyone know youāve got this goal, and prep yourself by thinking through what might trip you up along the way. When you identify the roadblocks ahead of time, you can smash right through them.
Finally, set yourself up to win. Lay out your gear the night before. Trust me, if your outfit is ready and waiting, youāre way more likely to show up and get it done.

Thanks for reading, Hustlers. Go out there, pivot with power, and stay curious about whatās next.
