A little Aperol. A little pizza. A lot of pretending I’m somewhere on the Amalfi Coast… when really I’m just falling in love with another Chicago summer 🇮🇹🍕🥂

So glad we were able to snag a reservation at Pizzeria Portofino last night.

If you’re planning a solo trip to NYC to unwind but still want to be close to the action, @nolitanhotel is where you need to stay ❤️

I came in for the Jay-Z concert at Yankee Stadium and needed something quiet enough to recharge but close enough to the trains to get uptown fast. 5 min walk to Spring St station (6 train) and I was set. 

Shareka gave me the warmest welcome at check in, room 905 was clean and peaceful, and that balcony was everything. 

Only regret is not booking an extra night, already planning my next solo reset here before the year ends. Thank you Tamira, Isaac, and Jason for the hospitality 🧳

POV: You booked a solo stay in @nolitanhotel just to romanticize your New York mornings ☕️

No itinerary. No rushing. Just the city. A soft reminder that New York doesn’t always have to be loud.

Jay-Z Extra Innings ✨

Just waking up because last night’s epic, star-studded finale which featured a nearly 50-song setlist, and wrapped at 3am. 

It’s been so long since I stayed out all night and made it home right at sunrise. 

S/o to one of my favorite rappers since I was a kid 💙 for putting on such an amazing show, and making sure everyone got in safe 🙏🏾

If there’s one thing I’m taking from this summer, it’s this: life doesn’t always need a grand moment to feel beautiful. Sometimes it’s just warm sunshine, a city you love, your favorite playlist, and realizing you’re exactly where you’re supposed to be.

In case you haven’t noticed, we’re having a very early-2000s kind of summer.

Asked @emmagrede a question in front of the whole @centerstageatl theater, and walked away with exactly what I needed to hear. 

You do not have to choose between being a great mother and building the life you dream about. 

She reminded me that ambition isn’t abandonment. That sometimes there are seasons where you over-index on work, but it doesn’t make you less present, less loving, or less worthy as a parent.

The biggest takeaway? Stop creating an “either/or” mindset. You are capable of both. 

Create boundaries. Protect what’s sacred. And trust yourself enough to go after the life you already sacrificed so much to build ❤️
