About Half Moon Hustle
Half Moon Hustle is a newsletter about the intersection of physical health, mental health, motherhood, and anything else that’s stressing out ambitious women. I’ve combined Half Moon, my favorite yoga pose focused on balance, with Hustle, my life motto of working hard to achieve ambitious goals.
I’m leaning on my professional experience in finance and tech, lifelong study of yoga and mindfulness, and research into health and wellness to share real talk and practical advice that will inspire other women. Half Moon Hustle will help you gain:
Authentic insights into the everyday struggles of ambitious women
Approachable strategies for how to achieve balance in your life
Actionable advice for how to advance your career through a holistic approach to health
