☀️What Are You Feeding Your Body, Mind & Soul This Summer?
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Every year I forget that I am in fact a solar-powered human being. ☀️
Then Toronto summer arrives and suddenly:
🎾 tennis invitations multiply
🍷 patios reappear
✈️ travel plans emerge
🧠 motivation returns
💃 and everyone becomes suspiciously attractive and athletic overnight.
This year however I decided to approach summer a little differently.
Less “random social blur.”
More intentional feeding of:
🏋️ the body
🇪🇸 the mind
🎨 and the soul
So I picked 3 focus areas:
Fitness, Spanish and Art.
Which means that if you see a woman speed-walking through Toronto carrying weights while aggressively speaking Spanish to herself before heading to a museum opening… it is probably me.
In my latest newsletter/podcast intro, I reflect on:
☀️ Canadian winter survival mode
🎾 why tennis alone is no longer enough
📚 learning Spanish through hilariously outdated audiobooks from the library
🖼️ the surprisingly welcoming art world
🧠 and why summer can actually become a strategic asset for personal growth.
Also discussed:
The emotional importance of patios after April in Canada.
