Flexa App Weekly Newsletter
Hey you!
It’s Rachel.
I’m not gonna lie. I woke up this morning with the scaries.
As I laid in bed, thoughts of the day ahead started to weigh on me. Emails. Meetings. To-dos.
Instead of diving head-first into the chaos, I decided to take a moment. I sat by the window with my coffee, felt the sun on my face, took a few deep breaths, and thought about how I wanted to show up today.
And you know what? That intentional pause set me up for success. It allowed me to reconnect back to myself and my purpose.
It was a great reminder that it only takes a few minutes to turn the day around.
And now I’m here, chatting with you.
I’ve got a few things I can’t wait to catch you up on.
Just Dropped: Comfort Meets Nutrition
I don’t know about you, but during these colder months, I want all the comfort food, all the time.
I’ve been dying to find a way to make food that feels like a big warm hug and aligns with my fitness goals.
I’m so excited to share five new recipes that just dropped in the app today.
Think porridge, creamy chicken and rice, and warm roasted veggies.
30 minutes or less, as always, queen.
I hope you love them as much as I do <3
Episode 52: Golden EMDR Nuggets
It was an honor to host EMDR expert Dr. Faux on the pod this week.
She shared a goldmine of incredible tips all around mood regulation, re-wiring our minds, and reconnecting with our best selves.
I walked away from that conversation so inspired to put those ideas into action day to day.
Listen below if you haven’t already!
Weekly Obsessions
Before I let you go, here are three things I’ve been loving this week.
Solo Dates
I took myself on a solo date this week and it reminded me how important it is to recharge and be with my own thoughts.
And I really let myself go with the flow and wander — which, as my fellow type A girlies out there know, doesn’t come naturally.
I started by treating myself to sashimi and tea at a cozy Izakaya spot. Then, I went shopping and took my time trying on new pieces that reflect the new season of life I’m in.
Spending the day with myself, on my own terms, was glorious. Highly recommend.
Barrel Jeans
On said solo date, I found an incredible pair of barrel jeans at Everlane that I instantly knew were coming home with me.
I’m constantly trying to figure out this whole gen z style thing, but these jeans feel like a step in the right direction.
They are super versatile and can be dressed up or down. They are also super comfortable and flattering.
10/10.
Korean Sunscreen
My partner’s sister recently introduced me to Centella sunscreen — and holy cow, I am never going back.
It melts into the skin, feels like a moisturizer, and sits beautifully under makeup.
It actually makes me look forward to putting on SPF every day.
The best part? It’s under 15 USD per bottle.
Run, don’t walk.
