Drop the Hustle
As a freelance writer, there's nothing that fills me with panic quite like a sudden quiet period or the idea of passing up work. Since the start of the pandemic, I have been, with the exception of the first three months, busier than ever. While the rest of the world was furloughed or otherwise adjusting to enforced quiet and solitude in their non-working hours, I found my working week creeping from 30 hours to 40 until it peaked at roughly 65 to 70 hours a week where it stayed for roughly 2 months.

What is RED-S?
As a Registered Dietitian working primarily with women and women’s health concerns, I see a great deal of active individuals! Working with active women, it’s important to be aware of health concerns that can impact their athletic performance, along with their overall health. When we consider the culture that women (and all other folks!) live in – the expectation to be small, toned but not muscular, strong but not strong-willed, and quiet about their accomplishments – it’s not hard to imagine that they are missed… some providers aren’t even thinking about them!

7 Ways to Make Mornings Effective

Why Spending Time Alone is Most Important?
Spending time alone otherwise termed as solitude has both mental and physical benefits. We are living in a fast-paced world, where attention is the scariest commodity. Everyone needs your attention, from managers, friends, relatives, spouses to hundreds of commercials you see every day in and out. Solitude is defined as a subjective state in which your mind is free from input from other minds. It is subjective and it is not a requirement for attaining a state of solitude. You can enjoy solitude on a crowded bus or in a coffee shop. Solitude requires you to isolate yourself from the inputs of other people and focus instead on your own thoughts and experiences, it doesn’t matter wherever you happen to be.

A Busy Mom's Guide to Healthy Food
I remember the days of eating whatever I wanted, whenever I wanted. Those were great days! I could chalk it up to being a kid, having a better metabolism, or simply the fact that way back then, nutrition and fitness weren't at the forefront of everyone's consciousness.
