Shay drinks her first meal of the day. “I’m not a breakfast person, so for me, it’s usually my coffee-protein shake — an odd concoction of cold brew, ice, two scoops of protein, and a handful of spinach. Some days, I’ll start with celery juice or tea and water with lemon,” she recently dished to The Cut.

2. She Lifts “Heavier” Weights

Shay loves exercising and recently started weightlifting. “I love working out and look forward to the gym. Since having kids, I’ve started getting into weights. It’s invigorating to lift heavier than before. I’m an Aries — we’re very competitive with ourselves and other people,” she told the publication.

3. She Works on Building a “Bum”

Shay does a lot of glute work. “These days, I love doing anything for the bum. On TikTok, I’m seeing all these girls with the little scrunch pants, and I bought a pair for myself and … it didn’t do anything. That’s how I knew it was still time to build a bum,” she told The Cut.

4. She Goes to Therapy”

Shay doesn’t let the haters get to her, as she has been working on hr issues for years with the help of a professional. “If you’re just being negative to be negative, that never has any effect on me, because I know that those people are hurting themselves. I had that experience being in high school. I’ve been bullied. I’ve gone through that, and I’ve had enough therapists to tell me it has nothing to do with me. So at this point, being in my mid-30s, anything just negative to be negative will never affect me. I can promise you that,” she told The Cut.

5. She Drinks Tea Before Bed

Shay practices sleep hygiene. “Before I go to bed, I’ll have sleep tea or something like that, because it’s sometimes difficult for me to turn off my mind,” she told The Cut.
