How does the sunbathing beauty keep herself fit and happy? She has a few simple health habits she prioritizes on a daily basis.

1. Self-Care and Mindfulness

Monica is all about self-care. “The only [routine] thing I try to be mindful to create for myself is at least one day off a week--- completely off,” Monica told XONecole. “I'm very mindful of that self-care time, which is a dope bath, with Epsom salts, candles, music. The nature of the beast is keeping up---whether it's a game broadcast or a studio broadcast or the podcast. It's important to take that time to recharge.”

2. Regular Gym Workouts

You can Monica at the gym “regularly,” she told the publication. “I travel with gym clothes, and even if I [only] have 20 minutes, I'm going to get that 20 minutes to get some sweat in. As I've gotten older, I start to feel wired and almost anxious. Working out is hugely important to me.”

3. Surrounding Herself with Love

Monica says that keeping an “intimate circle” around is “hugely important” to her. “I kind of argue with them sometimes as to whether I'm an introvert. I don't know! I just draw a lot of energy from solo time. The nature of my career path is to have on the 'on' switch. I don't know if people realize the energy that requires, so when I get to spend time with my man or my friends and do nothing, I relish the opportunity to do nothing. When my time is free, I'm doing nothing, on purpose,” she told the publication.

4. Kettlebells

Monica trains at Harlem Kettlebell Club – a fitness studio specializing in the weights. “I’m big on Wellness & know that looks different for everybody. Personally a good gym session is part of my wellness equation but that doesn’t mean you always love it in midst of it. S/o to @saneetarenee for helping me work off the week on Friday. Make time to take care of yourself, y’all. Be good to you,” she captioned a recent post of her kettlebell workout.

5. Basketball

Basketball is one of Monica’s go-to workouts and actitvities. “Basketball promotes speed, agility, strength, power and endurance. It [has] also been shown to increase flexibility and motor coordination. As a result, basketball is uniquely oriented to improve fundamental motor skills that are shown to be beneficial in promoting general health,” Koco Eaton, M.D., orthopedic surgeon, founder of Eaton Orthopaedics and a former basketball player, tells Nike.

1. She Found Her Brand

In an interview with Voyage Dallas, Williamson talked about finding her brand. “I started building my brand while I was in graduate school at Clemson University. I studied broadcast journalism at the University of Miami and went on to cover and report for Clemson’s Athletic Department. During my first week, I met Scott Van Pelt who at the time was doing a segment for ESPN’s SportsCenter called ‘Bald Man on Campus.’ It sparked the idea to make my unique look a focus of the brand I began building. I thought it was a great way for people to not feel confused or uncomfortable about the fact that I’m bald (even though it is a choice and I shave my head pretty much every day).”

2. She Wanted To Challenger Herself

Williamson revealed to Voyage Dallas that she went into sports journalism to challenge herself. “I decided to go into sports reporting in undergrad. I was a broadcast journalism major, but I wasn't really sure which path I wanted to take. I was an athlete an undergrad too, and a lot of the projects I was doing for school was sports-related just because I was always around it. I even had one professor ask me to do something other than sports! Around that time, another professor asked us what we planned on doing in the future. He specifically asked how many of us wanted to get into sports and we all raised our hands. He said something along of the lines of this being a very competitive industry, and that we should consider being in news. That sounded like a challenge to me, so I was like ‘Bet!’”

3. She Wears What’s Comfortable

In an interview with One37PM, Williamson talked about how she found her reporting attire. “The biggest thing for me was the fact that I didn't want people to think I was going into sports to get attention from athletes. For me, I was trying to do things that wouldn't draw too much attention to myself and not wear stuff that showed the form of my body. I wanted people to know that I was in this for the right reasons—not because I wanted to marry a football player. A lot of the style choices I made early on were in that regard.”

4. She Gets Vitamins From the Sun

Williamson frequently shares photos of her outdoor activities, emphasizing the importance of spending time in the sun. She often mentions the benefits of fresh air and natural light, which help her stay energized and focused. Whether it's during a workout or simply enjoying a day off, she values the mental and physical boost that being outside provides.

5. She Enjoys the Sauna

Williamson has shared glimpses of her post-workout recovery routine, which includes regular sauna sessions. The sauna helps her relax after a long day and is part of her self-care regimen. It's a way for her to decompress and recharge, ensuring she stays at the top of her game both physically and mentally.

Cassidy Hubbarth, a renowned ESPN reporter known for her NBA coverage, recently shared highlights from her work trip to Las Vegas in July, where she interviewed players and reported from the sidelines. Captioning her post “Summertime in Vegas,” Hubbarth gave fans a glimpse into her busy but fulfilling career. In interviews, Hubbarth has discussed her lifelong dream of becoming a sports journalist, her focus on comfort and style in her on-air wardrobe, and the importance of passing down meaningful heirlooms to her daughter.

1. She Followed Her Dreams

Hubbarth talked about how she got into sports journalism to ONE37 PM. “I actually knew I wanted to be in sports broadcasting in middle school. One day I decided it after watching Pam Oliver on the FOX Pregame show for the NFL. One of my core memories is sitting on the couch after having breakfast with my family getting to watch the Chicago Bears—I saw one of Pam's interviews and it just clicked. It's the only job I've ever wanted and the only thing that I've ever pursued. It's been a dream come true for sure!”

2. She Wants To Pass Down Heirlooms

Hubbarth revealed in her ONE37 PM interview that she wants to pass down heirlooms to her daughter. “For me, I have this necklace from my lola, which means grandmother in Tagalog, that she was very proud of that has my C initial on it, and I got the same thing for my daughter with her initials. When it comes to jewelry, I don't really accessorize outside of meaningful jewelry such as my necklace, wedding ring, and these bracelets my husband got me for special occasions and milestones. These are all things I want to pass down to my daughter. It's what I always wear—my earrings are the only things I change.”

3. She Enjoys What She Does

Hubbarth is lucky to enjoy her job as a sports journalist. “What I'm doing right now is what I want to do for the rest of my career,” she said to ONE37 PM. “I love coming off these playoffs and covering these games in the post-season. I always want to be covering the NBA on this stage, but I think if there's one more milestone I want to achieve it would be to one day cover the NBA Finals and hopefully one day be a part of the trophy ceremony. That's definitely a goal of mine, and hopefully one day I can be on that stage with Adam Silver handing over the MVP trophy.”

4. She Learned About The Business

In an AMA on Reddit, Hubbarth was asked what advice she’d give to aspiring journalists. She replied, “Do EVERYTHING and ANYTHING YOU CAN to learn how this business is changing and growing. I graduated college when twitter was taking off, and I learned and committed to use it as a tool in the industry and it has almost defined my journey. I have no clue how sports media is going to change in 5 years, let alone 10 years, so get as much experience as possible, while paying attention to how people are consuming their sports news and find a way to make yourself an asset to an employer.”

5. She Wants To Be Comfortable

Hubbarth talked about how her on-air clothing choices have evolved to ONE37 PM. She says that comfort is most important to her now. “I'm leaning into more comfortable clothes and being able to be stylishly comfortable since I'm multi-tasking by being on-air, and then having to run and pick up my daughter and take her to the park. My goal is to be stylish and comfortable.”
