Childhood isn’t all fun and games. Between home, school, extracurricular activities, and screen time, today’s kids are busier than ever. And just like adults, they get stressed.

Our teacher kept redirecting our attention back to the sound of rushing water, continuous and ever-changing. While my practice has changed through the pandemic, it has not only contin

I’ve been listening to podcasts since there was still such thing as an ipod. They’ve kept me entertained through the most mundane of adulting activities, like scrubbing toilets and waiting for the subway. But with so many podcasts out there, it can be hard to find what’s worth listening to. This is especially true when it comes to the health and wellness space, which is oversaturated with quick fixes and instagram gurus.

The #metoo movement has opened up a world-wide conversation about sexual assault and the culture that normalizes it. The media has served up dramatic examples of celebrities who got it wrong, but there’s still a lot of confusion about what consent—let alone enthusiastic consent—looks, feels, and sounds like.
