Hello Friends!

Hello Fall! Hello New School Year!


After a glorious two months in France—hiking in the Alps with family, catching up with friends in Lisbon, and exploring the Olympics with Jack (Bonjour Badminton Gold!)—I’m back in SF and absolutely over the moon that it’s 🍂!

Top 5 Fall Joy Bursts:

1. New Podcasts 🎧 – What’s on your playlist? Mama needs some new recs as we head into Autumn. My new “Cheese & Burritos” sub-series is live! Fun fact: the Pet Nats episode hit over 100 listens—next up, Burritos! Give it a listen!

2. Mindful Reads 📰 – Fresh content to inspire this new era! Whether it’s my friend Paige’s book “The Good Tourist” or my Mindful.org article on climbing the Criou (with a Tom Cruise cameo, of course), there’s no better way to start the season! What are you reading right now that you can’t put down?

3. Fitness Goals Reboot 💪 – New school year, new fitness mindset! Join my “Power Progress Log” accountability spreadsheet with Avrielle—track your strength training and stay motivated with the The Body Power Collective! If you’re local, come to my C1 yoga class at Core Power!

4. Skincare Obsessed 📚 – Want glowing skin this season? Lotion P50v from Biologique Recherche is chef’s kiss! Picked up a fresh bottle in Paris, and let me tell you—smooth, radiant, all day! Which SPF is your bees knees right now? Still using my La Roche Posay one, but open to ideas.

5. Halloween Vibes 🎃 – Spooky season is here! I’m already grabbing mini pumpkins at Trader Joe’s to deck out the house. Costumes are next—let’s get creative! Marcelle isn’t sure yet, Lexine is feeling Dalmatian and is requesting that I go as Cruella again. What’s your plan?

P.S. I did not get a cat! Sushi is just a friend :)
