Trying to get the most out of this season, who’s with me?

Today’s Work Setup

Obligatory Brooklyn photos, post content shoot.

Swipe for the ~reality~ of how I felt about taking pics in the 90° heat. Can we all just agree that things we say to our photographers {boyfriends} while hungry, hot, and tired just don’t count?! 🙃 ily Mike.

Productivity Tip of the Week: Meetings On The Go 🏃🏽

I’ve been soaking up the final stretch of summer with lots of walking meetings & calls. Something about being out and about in the city gets me SO inspired and it’s when I’ve been having my most creative ideas 💭

I use the app 📲 “Otter” to record these moving meetings (whether they’re with others or myself) and it literally transcribes everything you say into a text file that you can then go through and use as meeting notes. It’s genius!

This is your reminder to get your fresh air and movement to really re-ignite your brain power 🧠🔌

PS swipe for the full fit, I’m LIVING in this new romper for these 90°+ temps.

Mantra this Week:

Stay patient & work hard, everything will happen in divine timing.

Anyone else feel like Friday is actually the craziest day of the week trying to get everything in a good place before the weekend?! ⏳🏃🏽‍♀️

On another note, these are going to be my new Friday pants: comfy, look luxe, & easily transition into my girls night outfit 🍸

Working on getting back into 2-a-day meditations. I feel SO much clearer & honestly just happier when I can make it happen.

AM medi is a motivational & energetic visualization

How I Get Into Get Sh*t Done Mode

This week, I had an amazing weekend exploring the city, drinking , and spending time with family. But, this is a very full season for me & , so I knew I wanted to get right back to work.

Here’s the routine I use to get focused & stay focused:

1. Write out a commitment to yourself for the week. Not a goal, but a commitment. You wouldn’t be quick to cancel a commitment to someone else, right? Right 😉

2. Create a general outline for the week including all calls, meetings, and overall daily focuses (for example, I do my best to touch base with my team on Monday & take Wednesday off of calls so I can focus on deep creative work)

3. Put your morning routine on autopilot. This takes some practice, but having a really strong morning routine that is consistent every single day turns your mind on and sends a trigger to start getting ready to focus.

4. Move your body, drink water, eat something, and clear your space in the morning. I’m a firm believer that until you’ve done these four things, your mind will feel distracted by one or all of them! Get them out of the way.

5. Do the task you’re dreading most, first. The hardest but most important step of the process! This gets you into the swing of things and provides major momentum for your day.

Manifest that ish ✨

Hope your Sunday was as snuggly as ours 🐶

Had a very brief working weekend at home in NYC and now I’m jetting off again. Florida this week. So not in the flow of traveling and have anxiety about being “out of routine”.

Reminding myself (& you if you need it), that routines are an amazing base line to guide our habits and overall lifestyle/mindset, but if we let them consume us and can’t handle falling out of them for a day (or 7) then they’re doing more harm than help.

Staying as consistent as possible and giving myself major GRACE as we step back into a busier season and begin to reclaim travel & life outside of our homes 😉👼🏽

What a weekend 🦋 back in my hometown.

Still in Madison but resetting today with , , a doctor appointment, and lots of work 😇

What’s the highlight of your schedule today?

A few things I’m currently grateful for:
•the way the light hits in my apartment
•plants that don’t die
•fueling my body with nutrients
•creating content
•sharing my passions and favorite things with this community 🤍

What’s something you’re grateful for today? Big or small!

I’ve always dreamed of living here 💭 Manifestation // visualization is the real deal, my loves.

Many of the meditations I create for the app are visualizations, because I feel it is the most powerful form of manifestation and attraction.

✨ Fun fact, I manifested my current soho apartment fully through these meditations (especially the walking ones!).

Might sound a little woo woo but I challenge you to give it a try and see what starts to shift. Nothing to lose & it’s especially an helpful tool to pull you out of a difficult season in life ⛅️

Today in a nutshell 💻📞🖤

📷

Sharing a “work day” in my life on stories today & it’s something that gets me so excited because there’s nothing I love talking about more than productivity & tips for making our days more fulfilling!

Here was one of the first shots: post-workout coffee. A non-negotiable morning combo in my book 😛

🧺 How I Keep My House Spotless (in just 10-minutes per day) 🧺

In all honesty, I was never a “clean person”. You know, someone who makes their bed every morning, keeps the dishes washed at all times, and cleans as they go while cooking dinner. That was just.not.me. It was actually a big insecurity of mine & I always felt overwhelmed in my living space (which also happens to be my work space...)

In December, I decided I’d had enough and it was time to make a change. So in true Kira fashion, I created a one-month challenge for myself that took only 10-minutes per day. Spoiler alert: IT WORKED & I’ve stuck to it every day since.

Here are the two magic steps:

1. Tell yourself you’re a “clean person”. Build that into your identity. Tell other people. BE a clean person. It all starts with mindset.

2. The 10-minute tidy. That’s right, all you have to commit to is TEN MINUTES a day. Right before bed, just set a 10-minute timer and go after it. Dishes in dishwasher, laundry in the washing machine, counters clear, floors vacuumed. If you’re in an apartment, this should really only take 10-minutes.

That’s it. Just repeat this process every single day (especially if you don’t feel like it) and report back to me in a month on the state of your space 🤗

Oh & if you want a little extra help, was kind enough to share a code for 15% off your first order of clean & sustainable products (which I use in my daily tidy sessions): CACTIWELLNESSPGA

LA weather in NYC, the best of both worlds.

Here’s your official reminder to take a lil work break and get some fresh air today!

Energy for this Week:
Bossy & ready for anything 💼

Did you work or play this weekend?

Personally, I like to do a little bit of both.

Yesterday was a fun day where I hardly checked my email & didn’t focus on work. Today I’m getting down to business.

That work/life integration life 🤍 success is doing what makes you HAPPY.

Quick lil midday reminder 👼🏽

A little merch drop coming your way on 3.22 🤫📲

The easiest, balanced shake:

1 banana
handful of ice
almond milk
peanut butter
spinach
chocolate protein

I don’t really measure, just kind of eyeball it but with this flavor combo you can’t go wrong 🤤

WHY YOU NEED A CONFIDENCE COSTUME:

I was listening to ’s podcast with on “Big Money Energy” and one thing Ryan suggested is having your confidence costume- basically something that makes you feel like an unstoppable badass when you put it on.

I think this is mine, CUTE athletic wear, neutral colors, Jordan’s, gold jewelry .... feeling myself tbh. What’s yours??

Productivity Tip of The Day:

~save this for when you need a little morning motivation~

Block periods of FOCUSED work time into your daily schedule & then set your phone on airplane mode. Make the timeframe realistic & do-able for you (I like 60 minute blocks maximum) so that you’re able to stick to it and honor your commitment.

Don’t forget to block in breaks for movement, eating, chilling, and time to go on your phone! This is the KEY to working smarter not harder, let’s plz say goodbye to multi-tasking forever 💫💫

PS unfiltered posting with good lighting is currently making me so happy. Gives a much more accurate representation of people’s beautiful & unique aesthetics 👼🏽

Happy little unfiltered photo dump from the last few days. Lots of change & manifestations coming to life, it feels like we are heading into a magical season.

What are you working towards this month? ♓️🌷

Sunday Night Reset

I LOVE doing all of the self care on Sunday evenings. Drinking this green juice as a little after dinner treat (the pineapple makes it sweet and it’s SO hydrating) & going to pour half of the shot into some water to sip in the bath 👼🏽

Took this pre-move, but I’m still semi living out of boxes so doing my best to feel put together 🧖🏽‍♀️

My new obsession, Blonzer makes it easy to get that no make up make up look, and also add some color for the winter months. The best part is the easy application process- see my story for the play by play. 11/10 recommend.
