Sweaty workouts. Familiar faces. A cause close to my heart. 💗

Had so much fun yesterday at DanceBody ‘s Sweat for our Sisters event benefiting The Pink Agenda (TPA) —a charity we’ve proudly supported through Sweat for Smiles.

Breast cancer awareness is a cause close to my heart, which made it especially meaningful to show up, move and give back.

Loved reconnecting with a few friends 💕 and dancing together with Katia Pryce and Courtnay Mariani 🙌. These smiles say it all! ✨

Thank you, DanceBody, for bringing us together for such a meaningful cause.

More women’s health conversations like this, please. 💗🎙️

Loved attending the Jenn Giamo and Lori Schulweis live podcast last week with Heather Hirsch MD | Perimenopause & Middle-Life Expert , Dr. Angela Glasnapp and Dr Gail Saltz

I felt comfortable asking questions and talking openly about perimenopause, HRT, GLP-1s and mental health. Being with women asking similar questions—and experts who made us feel heard—was reassuring.

Thank you Jenn Giamo and Lori Schulweis and NYCPretty❤️Christine BibboHerr for bringing us together for such a fun, informative afternoon with such a great community of women.✨

And thank you Easy Spirit for gifting me these cute Isra Ankle Booties in Leopard Suede—love a little leopard! 🐆🤎

Move your body. Fill your cup. Love your people. Repeat. 💙

Sometimes wellness is slowing down, getting outside, reconnecting with the people you love and giving yourself time to recharge.

A quick trip to LA and some much-needed ocean time with my mom was the perfect reminder that taking care of ourselves can look different every day. ☀️🌊

What’s filling your cup this weekend?

🧀 The Snack Glow Up Series | Episode 4: From Basic to Balanced

Cheese + crackers = a classic. But with a few simple upgrades, you can turn it into a more balanced snack that works for everyone—kids, friends, or even a little something to enjoy alongside cocktails or sparkling water. ✨

In Episode 4, Ashley Slaughter, Founder of Ashley Flanagan Slaughter , sits down with Amy Shapiro, MS, RD, CDN of Amy Shapiro MS, RD, NYC Certified Dietitian & Nutritionist 🌱 to talk about easy ways to upgrade your cheese & crackers with more balance, protein, fiber + flavor—without making snack time complicated.

Because healthy eating doesn’t have to mean giving up the foods you love. It’s about making them work a little harder for you. 😉

Save this one for your next snack board! 🧀🥂

What’s your go-to cheese + cracker combo? ⬇️

We came for the tennis. We left with so much more. 🤍🎾

Two days at US Open Fan Week reminded me that movement, wellness and joy don’t always look like a workout.

Yes, there was incredible tennis. Watching athletes up close. Trying new things between matches. Walking for hours. Cheering from the stands.

But my favorite part? Being there with my kids and taking it all in.

The laughs. The little moments. The shared experiences. The memories I know we’ll talk about long after the last ball is hit.

Because sometimes movement looks like walking all day, exploring somewhere new, cheering for something you love, laughing with your people and being fully present for the moment you’re in.

That counts, too. 🤍

A little reminder as we head into the weekend: make room for the things that energize you—not just the things on your to-do list.

And there’s one more day of Fan Week tomorrow (Saturday)… 🎾 Who’s joining me? 👋
