The digital nomad life is many millennials' dream come true. Who wouldn't jump at the chance to make money while traveling the globe? As a digital nomad, you get the chance to fulfill your lifelong dream of visiting top countries on your bucket…

Sleep is one of those things that, even though it's a universally necessary part of life, everyone goes about it a little differently. Think about what time you go to bed and wake up every morning, compared to your best friend or a co-worker’s sleep…

With October coming to an end, and a powerful full moon headed our way, there's only one thing left to do, and that's release. The lurking shadows of Venus Retrograde may have put a damper to the start of the season, but the spiritual meaning of the…

In my opinion, no slogan has ever been truer than "America runs on Dunkin'," because when I'm crashing hard at work, the only thing that keeps me going is my beloved styrofoam cup of coffee. And while I'm at it, of course I feel the need to grab one…

I bet thousands of different thoughts and feelings run through your heart when you gaze at the full moon. How could they not? Between its craters and crevices that tell the story of our universe's long history, its lunar cycle that coincides with…

What's that sound? Maybe it's a ghost or a goblin waiting for midnight, or the Sanderson sisters from Hocus Pocus casting a wicked spell. It could be a black cat meowing at the moon, or trick or treaters ringing doorbells in hopes of scoring…

Picture this: It's a Saturday afternoon, you have plans to check out that cute new wine bar with a friend later tonight, and suddenly, your phone lights up with a text. Unfortunately, your girlfriend has to bail (for a good reason). Now, you're…

Before I was intentional about working out and meditating every morning, I would often start the day feeling worried about everything I had on my to-do list. Even on the weekends, there seemed to always be groceries to buy, birthday parties to…
