The start of a new season is the perfect time to embrace new routines, reflect on your 2025 goals and plan for personal growth. For 2025, I set new goals to improve my fitness regimen, choose healthier meals and focus on personal wellness. It’s no secret that elevating your physical and mental well-being directly translates to better leadership, clarity and productivity—that proverbial well-oiled machine performs at its best when maintained.
In the spirit of fresh beginnings, I’m happy to share with you a few of my top starters. For those of you here in Toronto, enjoy indulgent journeys, cutting-edge gym facilities and healthy dining experiences. And for everyone, anywhere, try my new favourite luxury weight set that can be delivered to your home. From this sleek fitness essential to memorable spa, premium wellness and culinary experiences, the potential for self-care is radiating with energy and possibilities. This season, I hope these trends motivate you to prioritize your health, happiness and overall well-being.
