My Monthly Live Class on Brand Messaging is TOMORROW!
𩷠Hope your weekend was filled with moments of peace and joy! This is a deeply intense week for me. As many of you know, my bodybuilding show was this past Saturday. Right now, Iâm in whatâs called âRecovery Week,â and honestly? It feels like the ultimate test of patience and self-compassion. For the next few days, my protocol is a âstrategic rebuild.â This means slowly reintroducing normal eating patterns, gentle movement, and giving my body permission to rest after months of intense preparation. Itâs the complete opposite of the controlled depletion I was doing last week, but just as mentally challenging in its own way. Hereâs what Iâm learning: This recovery phase is just as important as the peak. My body needs time to restore, my mind needs space to process, and my spirit needs room to celebrate what we just accomplished!! (More on my instagram!!) Itâs all about trusting the processâboth the intense preparation AND the intentional rest that follows. The Monday Metaphor: Your âRecovery Weekâ We all have our own recovery phases after big pushesâthose necessary seasons of rebuilding after a product launch, a major client project, or any significant goal weâve achieved. In those moments, you have to be strategic about restoration. You have to: ⢠Rest intentionally (resist the urge to immediately start the next big thing) ⢠Celebrate properly (acknowledge what you just accomplished)⢠Rebuild sustainably (prepare for the next season from a place of strength, not depletion) Your Monday Check-In: â Are you in a âbuilding phaseâ or do you need a ârecovery weekâ after a recent push? â Whatâs one way you can honor your need for rest this week while still moving forward? â How will you celebrate a recent win before diving into the next goal? Share what youâre working on or recovering from below! Letâs support each otherâs journeys. đ â Heart & Hustle Verse: âCome to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.â - Matthew 11:28 This week is a reminder that rest isnât weakness. An intentional pause prepares us for the next season of strength!
