The šŸ”‘ to a LONG, HAPPY life? FRIENDS.

Last night I reunited with legendary physio & founder and FAM and was introduced to CJ from the on their visit with šŸˆ — only finding out they were in the neighborhood yesterday!🤣

On this same day I celebrate two new ā€œfriendsā€ā€” one that has brought inspiration both players and fans of the āž”ļø JOSE 🐺

and

SUNNY— who arrived in a little brown envelope to remind me every morning to from my bedside table (fenks )🌻

—-

The real ones ground you.
The imagined ones remind you not to take life too seriously.šŸ™ƒ

Some show up for a season.āš½ļø
Some are with you thru a whole journey (Shane)

But all of them shape you in ways you will never fully comprehend.šŸ¤·šŸ»ā€ā™‚ļø

I MISS THIS.🄺

Miami mornings.
Barefoot in the sand.
Salt in the air.
Stillness before the noise.

Whether it’s jumping up and down for lymphatic flow with or dropping into presence with and or simply taking a solo walk to be in awe of life itself.

This is more than a vibe.
It’s a reset.

No rush.
No ego.
Just connection…
…to self and to community.

A reminder that before the titles, the stages, the responsibilities…there’s just you.šŸ™šŸ½

Grateful for the people who made these mornings a ritual, not just a routine.

If you know, you know.🌓 Back soon, Miami.🌊

Not every room changes you. This one did.

SILA SPEAKS: At The Intersection of Sports x Wellness during in MIAMI🌓

An intimate room. Real conversation. No surface-level takes.

People didn’t just show up. They leaned in.

Ideas were shared.
But more importantly, connections were built that will outlast the night.

Grateful to share the space with

leading at šŸ’”

And to the ones who made it happen
for co-creating with
for opening
for fueling something bigger than all of us
for capturing the moment

This is what it looks like when wellness meets community…and actually means it.šŸ¤—

More to come.

DAY 1 ENERGY STILL IN THE SYSTEM.āš½ļø

This is the MED SQUAD.
Not the biggest group but the standard is non negotiable.

Every rep matters.
Every detail counts.
Every decision impacts performance.

We are not chasing perfection.
We are building precision.

Learn fast.
Adjust faster.
Hold the line when it matters most.

Behind every athlete on that pitch,
there is a team making sure they can go again.šŸš€

Proud of this crew.
Hungry for what is next. šŸ„…

We’re just getting started.

This isn’t just about sport.
This is about being part of something bigger āž”ļø
the continued rise of women’s soccer, women’s sports, and women’s wellness.āš½ļø

Because the future of performance isn’t just strongerāž”ļø it’s smarter, healthier, and more human.

But if I’m being honest…

This moment is for the younger version of me.šŸ¤—

The kid who didn’t always see people who looked like him in these leadership roles.
The one who had to believe before he could see it.

Now I get to help build the future.

To every Filipino kid watching āž”ļø you don’t have to choose between where you come from and where you’re going.šŸ‡µšŸ‡­

You bring it all with you.

And one day…you might be the reason someone else believes it’s possible too.

ALL IN.
For the team.
For the mission.
For something bigger.

Two photos.
One story: pride, perseverance, and purpose.

From show & tell moments that carry years of sacrifice āž”ļø to standing side by side, dressed for the lives we’ve built, defining what success means to each of us individually.

What you don’t see?

The early mornings.
The late nights.
The discipline to perform…and the wisdom to recover.

Because real high performance isn’t just about how hard you go āž”ļø it’s about how well you rest, reset, and return.

Sleep isn’t a luxury.
It’s the foundation.

We wear multiple hats, both and I,
leader, student, mentor, athlete, builder…

But none of them work without the energy to sustain them.

So yes—these are pictures of achievement.
But more importantly, they’re pictures of alignment.

Earn hard. Recover harder. Show up fully.

More reflections from coming soon.

Honored to host my very first fireside chat at 1st-ever alongside the inspiring at šŸ”„

Physician. Thought leader.
And recently… the first woman to represent Mexico in cross-country skiing at the Milano Cortina Winter Olympics šŸ‡²šŸ‡½ā„ļø

No medal this time…but she absolutely won the hearts of many current and aspiring overachievers (including me!)šŸ˜‰

Because sometimes the real victory is showing the world what’s possible.

Our conversation centered on a powerful truth:
Longevity is connection— to self, to family, to culture.

Dr. Regina reminds us that performance isn’t just physical — it’s cultural, emotional, and deeply human.

Grateful to share the stage with leaders who expand what we believe is possible — in sport, in wellness, and in life.

More insights from Miami’s 1st-ever WELLNESS WEEK coming soon.

WE HERE. A week where Miami becomes the center of the global wellness economy.

The TEAM at went top-down (the world’s top companies), bottom-up (all Miami’s wellness communities and venues), even enrolling local civic leaders (Mayors of Miami and Miami Beach) for this week to be the most EPIC week of WELLNESS ever.

This vision took two years to build.

The outcome:
- 50+ events across Miami’s leading wellness venues and hotels. The whole city is activated.
- Two days of programming with 90+ of the most consequential wellness leaders of the wellness economy.
- Nearly 500 wellness economy professionals are registered - we’re nearly at capacity.
