Summer is almost here, and this year I’m approaching it differently than I ever have before. At 40, I’m less focused on quick fixes and more focused on what actually makes me feel good long term. I’ve been building a routine that covers everything from movement to recovery to what I’m eating, and I want to share all of it with you. Let’s get into it.

Movement: Strength + Pilates + Daily Walks

My weekly rhythm is two strength sessions and two to three Pilates classes. I also do daily walks stacked with calls and meetings, which means I’m moving without carving out extra time.

Sleep: 7-8 Hours a night

You guys know this is a given for me. 7-8 hours a night, no exceptions. Sleep is the foundation for everything else on this list and I don’t mess with it.

Daily Meditation (Genuine Game-Changer)

Completely non-negotiable for me. I use the Waking Up app and it has genuinely changed my life. Sessions are only 10 minutes and fully guided…so easy to do every day.

Recovery: Massage, Cupping, Lymphatics + Sauna

My recovery rotation includes massage, lymphatic massage, cupping, and sauna. These keep the puffiness at bay, my muscles loose and relaxed, and everything flowing the way it should. If you’re training and not recovering intentionally, you’re leaving a lot on the table.

Nutrition + Hydration: Protein, Fiber + Liquid Minerals

I drink liquid electrolytes and minerals every day, aim for 100 grams of protein, and prioritize lots of fiber. My recent episode with Dr. Karan Rajan completely changed how I approach my diet and gut health. You can listen here!
