Strengthen September: Are You Thriving or Surviving?

Happy Sacred Sunday!

Hi from the West Coast… again!

This week I’m writing to you from Las Vegas, where Orlando and I came to celebrate a friend’s birthday.

Some people asked why I didn’t just stay in LA for the week instead of flying back and forth. The answer is simple: my kids. I wouldn’t want to miss a week of mom life to save a couple of long flights.

But all this traveling is exactly why Strengthen September has been such a powerful intention for me.

This month has been about strengthening all the things: 

Relationships. 
Systems. 
Time management.
Priorities. 
Muscles. 
Habits 
Resilience. 

This month has required intense focus and planning, not because I can’t get by without it (I used to live flying by the seat of my pants), but because I want to thrive, not just survive. 

Thriving takes Intention. 

✨And that’s what this week’s podcast episode is all about.

I’m sharing the 9 markers we need to thrive in mind, body, and spirit. They started as 5 S’s Dr. Sanchez and I identified together:

• Sweat

• Strength Training

• Sleep

• Supplements

• Stillness
  
  But the more I reflected, the more I noticed 4 more S’s worth paying attention to.
  
  Tune in this week to hear all nine, and why they matter for a life rooted in balance and bliss.

Meanwhile, Orlando and I had a blast finding healthy ways to enjoy Vegas (yes, it’s possible!)—all while staying aligned with our 9 S’s. And truthfully, as much fun as we had, we’re just as excited to fly home… because we’ve built a life we can’t wait to come back to.

And that’s what I want for you. A life you love so much that even after the adventures, coming home feels like bliss.

Sending love today and always,
