HSR ICYMI 🍒・+✧ +

Time for my favorite part of the week, ICYMI!!!

ICYMI ₊♡₊˚ 🍒・₊✧ ₊

♡ This Week’s Number One Priority: Register to vote! If you are in the US and eligible to vote, this needs to be your number one priority this week. US Voter Registration!

♡ This Week’s Mantra: Find your zen, protect your energy.

♡ This Week’s Lesson: Valuation doesn’t equal value. Just because something has a high valuation or price, it doesn’t mean it’s the right fit or decision for you. Always evaluate the economics.

♡ This Week’s Affirmation: I am capable of making bold decisions that align with my goals.

♡ This Week’s Long Read: Dandi Fertility’s Bipartisan POV on IVF & Politics: A Pre-Debate Primer. Apart from the important message in this POV, the biggest thing I took away is how a brand did a great job getting involved in the most pop culturally relevant moment of the year but remaining neutral without being afraid to contribute value to this important conversation. 

This Week’s Mood Board

The paid section of this newsletter is an educational resource and can likely be expensed through your company — I even made a template for you to use when asking! This week I’m sharing:

• Your valuation is the problem (and why I had to say no to something I never thought I would) + 4 new entries to the HSR glossary

• Why I had to be in founder mode this week and the 8 lessons I learned

Fall In NYC Is HSR Coded

By the time you read this I’ll be back in NYC for 48 hours because who can say no to a fall trip to NYC? It is by far my favorite place to be in the fall and that much more fun now that I get to go with my boyfriend!!

I put together a list of places I try to eat at every single time I’m there, the hotel lobbies I work out of, and the NYC Fall event I WISH I could go to for NYC-based HSR Angels.

♡ Eats ♡

• Cucina Alba Kissaki Omakase | Torissi | Sushi Bar by Scratch | The Corner Store | BONDST Sushi | The Standard East Village Café

♡ Hotel Lobbys ♡

• The Standard | Fouquet’s NYC | The ACE Hotel | The NoMAD Hotel

PS - I put my “influence is my superpower” skills to the test and asked my friend Nik Sharma (yes THE Nik Sharma) who is putting on the event if I could get free tickets for HSR Angels based in NYC and he said that 25 people that fill out THIS FORM will have a chance to get free tickets… YOU’RE WELCOME.
