On today's solo episode I am talking all things Winter Arc. I am obsessed with this trend going around right now because I completely align with it and think it's a great opportunity to really hone in on the goals we set at the beginning of the year. Think of this as a way to get ahead of your 2025 goals and finish this year as the best version of yourself. I dive into my current workout routine, meal prepping, in-depth skincare routines, and so much more.
