Have you ever had a conversation with your mother or your grandmother about her experiences with menopause? Chances are, if you're identify as a man or if you haven't neared menopause yet, the answer is "no." I had my first conversation with my mom about menopause after aSweatLife hosted a panel on women's health featuring fertility, women's health and birth control specialists. I learned an incredible amount about her health - and according to Dr. Roohi Jeelani who spoke at that panel - my own ...

Think back to the most stressful time in your life. What were your coping strategies? What good habits were the first to go as you struggled to stay afloat? Did your evening reading take a backseat to Below Deck reruns, or maybe you shut yourself off from your friends instead of seeking their support? It all sounds familiar, right? (And maybe, just maybe, those examples are from my own personal life.) In times of stress, our reactions are probably to crawl inward, to take the easiest way out, a...

As Stephen Lease, CEO/Co-Founder of goodr, notes, he's a high achiever at this point in his life—but by all accounts, it wasn't a linear journey. After surviving high school and founding five failed companies, he's now the merry leader of goodr, our favorite makers of affordable, functional, and fun sunglasses. His lightbulb moment came when he was going for a run and realized that all the sunglasses out there were overengineered and still totally ugly (not acceptable for a guy as fashion-forwar...

We've had our eyes on The Sill since someone on the team who's younger and cooler than I am described this Warby-Parker-for-plants to the team and insisted that it be listed on our gift guide. Eliza Blank, founder and CEO of The Sill, felt the call to make nature more accessible to everyone through beautiful potted plants - even someone who isn't horticulturally inclined in the slightest. And through small moments with nature, she knew that she could give people the feel-good benefits of caring...
