Most of you were probably asking yourself, “Did Vi just gain weight, or is she pregnant?” 😂 Well… here we go.

Plot twist: our biggest adventure yet has been traveling with us all along. 🌙🤍

Looking back at these past five months, it’s wild how much this little one has already seen and heard…

Month 1 🇩🇪🇵🇹Right after LIB, I flew to Germany for my childhood friend Susi’s wedding, then straight to Lisbon for work with EA. I remember thinking every white wine suddenly tasted so sour 😂… turns out there was a very real reason. Then came telling Matt, Clara & Lena & cue of the collective “WHAT?! Already?! So fast?!” because it was literally our first real try. Matt’s reaction still lives rent-free in my head, but of course we danced the night away anyway. 💃🏻

Month 2 🇲🇽Our Good Times retreat at Mira Earth in Valle de Guadalupe: 10 studios, private saunas + jacuzzis, insane food, vineyards, our July 4 pool party, and sunset DJ sets by Nghi & Zane. Slightly tragic hosting a full wine weekend where you want to share your absolute favorite wine region with friends while newly pregnant 😂 (happy to at least try a few tiny sips!). But seeing everyone soak in something I’d spent six months planning made it all worth it.

Month 3 🇨🇷Costa Rica brought possibly the most sober retreat I’ve ever been on 😂 Surfing, breathwork, meditation, and a very full activity schedule with @worldofvaleur. It also definitively confirmed that these days, my personal wellness era is 90% beach + chill + a cold glass of champagne. 😅🥂

Month 4 🇨🇭🇺🇸The bump officially made its grand entrance. 🥹 First stop: Lausanne for the UEFA Women in Football Leadership Programme with EA, followed by an unforgettable long weekend recharging in Hawaii to celebrate Mark & Natalias wedding (more pics to come).

Month 5 🔊🍿Introducing the baby to techno early. Taking this bump to @klangkuenstler at the Kia Forum yesterday. While everyone raged, I happily posted up in my seat with a giant bag of popcorn living my best 2nd trimester life. (Watch til the end 🤣).

Before even making its official arrival, this little moon has already experienced Germany, Portugal, Mexico, Costa Rica, Switzerland, Ha by @lifechangingrex

Elite chess players can burn up to 6,000 calories during tournament play without leaving the chair. That’s the cost of deep thought.

Now ask yourself: you’re spending that same mental energy every single day. On what?

Worry loops. Replaying conversations. Scrolling. Judging yourself. Most of our thoughts aren’t quality thoughts , they’re just expensive ones.

The energy is already being spent. The only question is whether you’re directing it or leaking it.

Stillness isn’t doing nothing. Meditation isn’t emptying your mind. It’s an audit. It’s how you find out where your energy actually goes and take it back.

You’re already paying for every thought. We can start choosing which ones are worth the price of life. by @lifechangingrex

Plot twist:

I thought I was fully in control of my mind… turns out my subconscious was running half the show 😂

Over the last year, I started working on subconscious reprogramming through affirmations, meditation, repetition, and small daily actions.

I wanted to become more confident, positive, social, and comfortable in my own skin.

At first, saying “I’m confident” when I absolutely did NOT feel confident was hilarious 😂

But eventually, my actions started becoming proof.

Even posting this video is proof.

An older version of me probably would’ve thought about making a video, overanalyzed it for 45 minutes, decided I looked weird, and never posted it. 😂
A few things I learned:

🧠 Repetition helps create new patterns.
🪞 Give your brain evidence through action.
🧘 Create space between a trigger and your reaction.

You don’t have to stay loyal to an old version of yourself just because you’ve been rehearsing that person for years.

Tell yourself a new story.
Then start living like it’s true.

Small actions. Repeated often.

Until one day you’re like…

Damn. I actually changed. 😂 by @lifechangingrex

I had the house, a partner, the nice zip code and still felt broke as hell.

Turns out abundance was never in the bank account, it was in where I pointed my attention. Because where attention goes, energy grows.

You can’t buy your way out of “not enough.” You can only notice your way out. No Amazon cart, no compliment, no upgrade closes that gap of being here and fully awake, already does.

A few small things that actually move the needle:

•Every morning, write down 10 things you’re grateful for. It feels stupid for about a week, then you have a stack of sticky notes and a rewired brain.
•Catch yourself scanning for what’s missing? We’ll train yourself go find one thing that isn’t.
•Sit still for five minutes. No phone, no stimulant, no agenda. Just you and the uncomfortable silence that turns into peace.
•Slow down enough to feel the day instead of just managing it.

Abundance isn’t the cherry on top 🍒

It’s realizing you already had the sundae 🙃🍨 by @lifechangingrex

I optimized my entire life and still felt like I was drowning.

Turns out I wasn’t busy — I was just in a hurry. 🫠

    •Read “The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry” and it dragged me: being productive isn’t the same as being alive.
    •I was always “getting things done.” I was never actually here.
    •So I ran an experiment on my own reality: do EVERYTHING slow. Walk slow. Eat slow. Let the guy honk. I’m taking my time. 🚶
    •Plot twist: I have all the time in the world. I just kept perceiving that I didn’t and that lens built the rushed life I was living.
    •F.E.A.R. = false evidence appearing real. Most of my stress was a future that never showed up.
    •The fix wasn’t another app. It was a 20-min bath, no phone. A walk, no headphones. Just me and my own boring, beautiful thoughts.
    •That’s when you start noticing stuff — wind moving through trees you’ve walked past a thousand times.
    •I stopped fighting people in my head and started sending them peace instead. Reality kind of bent in my favor. (Yeah, I thought it was woo-woo too. 🤷)
    •Nothing outside changed. My perception did. That changed everything.
You’re not a passenger here. You’re the main character and moment to moment, you get to choose.

Try it for two months. Then come tell me I’m crazy. 📖

Look everybody’s swinging a pendulum.

You are, I am, the person who just tried to rile you up definitely is. The difference is when you start to see it, you stop being a target. 🕊️

Think of it like sparring. Someone comes at you with that energy: trying to pull you into an argument, into their drama, into their loop , but you’ve got a choice. You can push back with the same force and now you’re both off-balance, both feeding it. Or you can sidestep it. Don’t react.

Do something completely different. Their pendulum swings and hits nothing. It dies. Just like that.
That’s energetic judo. And once you get good at it, you start to see everybody’s patterns from a higher vantage point. You’re like... oh, okay. I see what they’re doing.

That’s their cycle, their trauma, their projection. Doesn’t have to be mine.

Some real ways to get better at this:

✦ Ask yourself “is this even mine?” before you react to anything
✦ Box breathing — 4 counts in, hold, out, hold — pulls you back into your body fast
✦ Change your physical state to break the hook — walk away, cold water, change rooms
✦ Watch your media diet. Doom scrolling is a pendulum too
✦ Ground yourself daily : feet on earth, hand on chest, just create some stillness
✦ Practice observing emotions like weather. Let them pass through, don’t become them

You don’t have to partake in anyone’s bullshit. That’s not weakness , that’s how powerful you actually are. 👁️

Your reality is a mirror.

What you think, feel, and focus on , you attract. That’s not just a concept. That’s law.

Pendulums are the drama, the conflict, the chaos that feed off your attention.

The second you engage, you become the source of creating pendulums. You lose energy. You lose alignment. Don’t argue with them. Don’t resist them. Just withdraw. Starve them out. Where you put attention, that’s where the energy will grow.

And when life gets hard : “good.”

The Kabbalah teaches that every challenge is preparation. Your vessel is being expanded to hold more light, more responsibility, more strength than it could before.

Nothing is happening to you.
Everything is happening for you.

Guard your energy. Trust your becoming. ✨🕯️

3 years with my person 🤍

Not perfect. Not always easy.
But real, evolving, and worth it, every single day.

A few things we’ve learned along the way:

1. We’re always on the same team.
Even in disagreement, it’s us vs. the problem, never us vs. each other.

2. Communication is everything.
The hard conversations don’t get easier by avoiding them… they get easier by having them.

3. Trust is the real currency.
Without it, nothing holds. With it, everything flows.

4. Never stop dating each other.
Effort isn’t optional, it’s the whole game ✨

5. Keep life novel.
New experiences = deeper connection.
(And yeah… sometimes a little chaos bonds you more than comfort ever could 😅)

6. Fill your own cup first.
You can’t pour into someone else from an empty one.
Strong individuals make an even stronger partnership.

7. Don’t take it all so seriously.
Laugh at the quirks. Give grace.
We’re all just figuring it out as we go.

Grateful for every lesson, every high, every challenge, but always together.

Here’s to building, growing, and choosing each other… again and again.

Love you @vivirinadee you’ve taught me how to love myself, life, and you deeply, fully and unconditionally. 🤍

Special thanks to @francescaangrisano.ph for these lovely images, i couldn’t have asked for a better photographer to make us feel so comfortable in front of the camera ✨ by @lifechangingrex

A love letter to 🇻🇳 ,

From the bustling streets of Hanoi to the vibrant chaos of Saigon, traveling through Vietnam with friends was a reminder that life is all about these tiny shared adventures. We wandered from the emerald rice paddies of Mu Cang Chai to the sunlit shores of Sao Beach, where a handful of starfish became souvenirs of a day that felt almost dreamlike.

In these moments, immersed in the flavors and textures of Vietnam, you realize that the real magic is in how we all piece these memories together. So here’s to never letting those moments pass us by, and to all the friends who turn a simple journey into a story worth telling.

According to Dr. Rhonda Patrick, just 20 minutes in the sauna 4x a week lowers risk of cardiovascular disease by nearly 50%.

Andrew Huberman also states that heat stress releases endorphins & dynorphins that help retraining your brain to handle stress more effectively.

The shock of heat + recovery supercharges circulation, detoxification, and resilience.

Some other benefits:

• Boosts growth hormone & longevity
• Reduces cortisol & improves sleep
• Enhances cardiovascular health
• Clears the mind & elevates mood by @lifechangingrex
