5/6 Starting Five

If you’ve been following Power Forward on IG, you might remember the Starting Five series. Good news… I’m bringing it back in newsletter form!

It’s a fun way to remind myself to notice the sparks of joy, mindset shifts, great content, books, podcasts, and everyday magic around me. Sometimes, taking a few moments of gratitude can go a long way.

Here we go! In no particular order:

#1 - Mental Health Awareness Month

A friendly reminder to take care of yourself. :)

#2 - My dad’s passion for vintage cars.

I had the chance to watch my dad in his element as he led an event for his club, The Vintage Sports Car Club of America. It was special to see him doing something he absolutely loves, and it reminded me how powerful it is to find something you’re passionate about and fully lean in.

#3 - Noah Kahan

Between his vulnerability in his documentary and the raw honesty of his music, I have his new album on repeat and his quotes written down everywhere.

#4 - The LPGA

My newest favorite women’s sport to follow. I had the opportunity to join an event on the power of networking with a handful of rookies - I left impressed, inspired, and excited to cheer them on this weekend at the Mizuho Americas Open. I also can’t wait to share more about the experience soon!

#5 - May Flowers

The most beautiful pick-me-up.
