As we say goodbye to June until next year, I just want to take a moment to reflect with gratitude. June may have brought wins, lessons, challenges, growth, or even things we didn’t fully complete — and that’s okay. The beauty of a new month is that we don’t have to start over. We get to carry forward what still matters, keep building on what we learned, and move into July with fresh energy. Whatever wasn’t done, met, or checked off in June does not mean failure. It simply becomes part of the journey we bring into July with more awareness, intention, and grace. So for July, I want to add a little community challenge: ✨ July Carry Forward Challenge ✨ Pick one thing from June that you want to carry into July. It can be a habit, a goal, a mindset, a routine, or even something you want to give yourself more grace with. Drop yours below👇: 🌱 Something I’m carrying forward into July is: ______ 💪 One habit I want to recommit to is: ______ 🙏 One thing I’m thankful for from June is: ______ There is still so much to be thankful for — our health, our growth, our community, our support system, and the opportunity to keep showing up for ourselves. Cheers to July 🥳 A new month. A fresh mindset. A chance to continue becoming the best version of ourselves. Happy birthday month to everyone celebrating in July! May this month bring you joy, love, strength, and beautiful new memories. 💛✨

That question came back to me today. This morning my routine was off. I slept in, missed my usual 6am gym time, and honestly didn’t feel motivated. The old me might’ve said, “I’ll try again tomorrow.” But today I decided 1pm still counted. So I showed up… even with the gym full of teenagers giving summer camp chaos 😂 and I still got it done. Walked away with 2 new PRs: 🔥 Angled Machine Leg Press: 185 lbs. My legs and feet felt numb after that one 😱 🔥 One Arm DB Preacher Curl: 17.5 lbs. This felt incredible because it showed me how much stronger I’m becoming. Today reminded me: maybe there isn’t “trying.” There’s choosing, adjusting, and doing. Strength is built when the routine isn’t perfect, motivation is low, and you still show up anyway. 💪✨

If you only have 5 to 10 pounds to lose, you may not need a drastic calorie cut. You may just need a body recomp. A body recomposition essentially means losing fat and building muscle at the same time. If you want to learn how to do that, I made a video just for you. 👉 Reply "RECOMP" and i'll send it over!

My sister officially hired my daughter as her Junior Graphic Designer for her business. She asked her to help create a poster and offered to pay her $10 for the project. The cutest part was watching my daughter have a little “business meeting” with her Auntie to present her finished Canva design. This meant so much to me because my daughter’s dream is to become a graphic designer when she grows up, and my sister gave her a real opportunity to explore her creativity and build confidence in her skills. After she finished the poster, my sister was so happy with it that she paid her $15 instead of $10. My daughter was SO excited. 😆 Then came the life lesson. We were getting ready to go to Disneyland, and my daughter decided she didn’t want to bring her water bottle even though it was hot outside. Her lips were already chapped, and she had no water. So I asked her, “It’s hot, your lips are chapped, and you have no water. Are you planning to buy a $5 water bottle at Disneyland? Because I will deduct that from your hard-earned graphic design money since you’re too lazy to carry your own water.” 😂 Let me tell you, she quickly grabbed her backpack, filled up her water bottle, and moisturized her lips. I jokingly told her, “It hits different when it comes out of your own budget versus someone else’s budget.” My point wasn’t about refusing to buy her water. It was about teaching her the value of her money, planning ahead, and understanding that the little choices we make can affect what we work hard for. Proud mom moment and life lesson all in one. She got to experience earning money from her talent, and then immediately learned how easy it is to spend it when you don’t prepare. 😂 Auntie gave her the business opportunity. Mom gave her the budget lesson. Teamwork. 😆💛

“I’d be making better progress if I could just figure out ______.” I’ll answer as many as I can on tomorrow’s call. No technical difficulties tomorrow, promise!
