Sunday reset, done!

This right here? This is what “future me” thank-you notes look like.

I’ll be honest- after a full week of back-to-back meetings and 1 full day of rest, the LAST thing I want to do on a Sunday is cook. But here’s what I’ve learned: the exhaustion isn’t just from the work. It’s from the deciding. Study after study points to decision fatigue being real, and for those of us moving through corporate spaces while carrying the extra mental load so many of us know all too well, our brains are already running a marathon before we ever open the fridge.

So I don’t leave my nutrition up to a 6pm negotiation with a tired, hungry version of myself.

A few hours on Sunday means:
🥗 Grabbing lunch is a no-brainer, not a scramble
💪 My protein is already handled (the hardest part for most of us)
🍇 Fruit is washed, prepped, and actually gets eaten
🧠 That’s dozens of small decisions I don’t have to make when I’m depleted

Prepped this week: rice, potatoes, kale, Brocolli, meatballs, chicken breakfast, scrambled egg with chicken sausage portioned out, fruit ready to grab. Nothing fancy. Just nourishing food that’s ready when I am.

You don’t need a perfect fridge. You need one less thing to think about on a Monday.

If getting your meals (and your energy) in order feels impossible with everything else on your plate, that’s exactly the kind of thing we untangle together. Free discovery call, link in bio. No pitch, no pressure.

Strong is the goal 💪🏽

And before you say you don’t have time - meal prepping doesn’t mean cooking everything on Sunday. It means making fewer decisions when you’re tired, hungry, and running on empty after a full day of work.

The research backs it up: people who plan their meals ahead eat more vegetables, more protein, and consume significantly fewer excess calories not because they have more discipline, but because the work is already done.

One of my favorite things about my body is that I am able to lift heavy. It’s a reminder that I am strong and capable and I carry that with me in every area of my life.
Ladies, lift heavy!!!

I have trouble sleeping and one small habit shift that’s changed everything: trading late-night TV for a good book.

My sleep has genuinely improved and it turns out the science explains why. Reading before bed calms your nervous system, lowers cortisol, and signals to your brain that it’s time to wind down in a way that screens simply can’t. But the benefits don’t stop there. Regular reading also strengthens memory, builds new neural connections, expands your vocabulary naturally over time, and can slow cognitive decline as we age.

This year I’ve been intentional about what I’m feeding my mind — diving into books on leadership, career growth, and U.S. politics. Here’s what’s been on my shelf so far:

“Start With Yourself” by Emma Grede
There was a lot of controversy about the authors perspective on WFH. I turned off the noise and read the book anyway. There are things in the book that I both agree and disagree with. The chapters on money and building a brand are solid!

“Careless People - a cautionary tale of power, greed, and lost idealism” by Sarah Wynn Williams. This book is a page turner. Sarah is a former leader at Facebook and share her experience with the reader which includes the shift from the platform wanting to connect people to money, greed and power. 10/10

“leadership Unblocked” by Muriel Wilkins.
I’ve been listening to Muriel’s podcast “Coaching Real Leaders” for about a year now. I love her approach and can often relate to some of the career challenges of her guests.

“Bad Law - ten popular laws that are ruining America” by Elie Mystal.
This book is hella informative and connects the dots on so many political levels. There are laws that I didn’t even know where laws and the harm they cause to black, brown and poor communities is criminal. This is worth reading

Originally created to manage type 2 diabetes, GLP-1 medications are now widely used off-label for weight loss. These drugs work by reducing appetite and slowing digestion, which results in lower calorie intake and yes, weight. But here’s the catch: rapid weight loss without exercise can mean losing muscle, not just fat……
