There’s something undeniable about the power of sound to transform our mental state. We’ve all noticed this. That song comes on and it’s got you thinking some type of way—maybe you start moving your hips, maybe you feel it in your gut, or maybe your heart feels touched by the sounds that stream out of […]

Your mental health and physical health don’t exist in separate bubbles. In reality, they exist more like a Venn Diagram. For example, you might exercise for your physical health. Yet, this, inevitably, spills over and improves your mental health as well (hello, feel-good endorphins!).  Like personal relationships, your mental and physical health is a two-way […]

A couple of years ago, in the midst of COVID, I found myself in a small warehouse space with two of my friends.

Many people discover they don’t fit perfectly into just one chronotype category, and there’s a fascinating scientific reason for this.  While researchers have identified four distinct chronotypes, human biology rarely fits into neat boxes. Instead, our natural sleep-wake patterns […]

By 8:00AM, you’ve meditated, worked out, planned your day, and maybe even solved all the world’s problems. Sounds magical, right? This is the dream life […]

Sometimes life gets so busy, and the 24 hours we get in a day simply is not enough for us to do everything we need (or want) to do. We often find ourselves with a long list of priorities, and sadly, in some cases, sleep is at the bottom of that list. Some may consider […]

We all have natural preferences when it comes to our sleep schedules, but have you ever wondered why maybe you’re full of energy in the morning while your friend or roommate comes alive at night (or vice versa)?  The answer might lie in your chronotype—your body’s internal clock that dictates when you feel awake and […]
