Hello, good morning and welcome back or welcome to Morning Ray. I'm your host, Lan, or

Lana. And today's episode is all about the tug-of-war between wanting to be and wanting to hustle,

show up, be that girl, while also still romanticizing that slow life, the soft mornings,

and truly just being present

and soft for lack of a better word. But how do we truly find the balance between the middle?

And I think I have finally figured this out. I've been in a part, a time period in my life

where it was go, go, go. I was hustling all the time,

I was working all the time, I was trying to balance everything and anything, but I was really

not allowing for any slow time, any down periods. And then there was a moment of my life after

that where I was really burnt out and I had no motivation, no drive, no will to do anything

or anything, really.

It took a lot out of me to create content and to show up in my career.

And I was just feeling really uninspired.

But then that kind of led me to find ways to rebalance my stress and all of that

and kind of move a bit slower.

So we're going to be talking a lot about

that today, finding that balance between working really hard towards our goals, but also

taking time for ourselves and embracing that soft living, that slow living kind of mindset.

And yeah, so we're going to get into that in today's episode. I'm so excited to announce that we are

currently in the midst of planning our fall hot girl sweat event. It will be early September.

Stay tuned for more news with that. It will be a Matt Pilates event this time, which I'm

really excited. I'll be teaching. We have lots of really, really cool
