A couple of weeks ago, I talked about The Friend Breakup and it sparked a lot of conversation. There are literally over a thousand comments beneath my various social media posts, and I have since received hundreds of DMs from people wanting to share their story.
In sum, the discussion struck a nerve and I concluded that this topic merited further consideratio...
Discipline wants to see you succeed. It is as invested in the goals you set for yourself as you are. And unlike its sexier peers, "inspiration" and "motivation," discipline is loyal, predictable, dependable, consistent. But can it turn toxic? Let's talk about it...

As I've talked about ad nauseam, with the exception of the last 10 years, I literally cannot remember a time in my life when I was not told to lose weight. Starting from when I could remember, I was made to understand that my body was excessively "chubby" and that I would be so much more lovable if I could lose "just 10 pounds."

While Simone Biles, Katie Ledecky, and Novak Djokovic dominated the Olympic headlines, percolating just beneath the radar were all sorts of smaller stories, ones that may not have been covered by splashy newspapers, but still went viral on TikTok.
One of those stories I discovered while scrolling through Threads…

On the morning she won the Gold Medal in the Individual All-Around competition, Biles started her day by calling her therapist. Mental health doesn’t need to be taboo, whispered behind closed doors. It doesn’t need to be unordinary. In fact, according to one of the greatest athletes in human history, it may be the secret to becoming an extraordinary you.
Inspired by Simone Biles and the other extraordinary athletes competing in P...

"I sometimes wonder what would have happened had my father not insisted on teaching me to read and write in Korean. What would have happened if I hadn't gone vegan, started The Korean Vegan, begun peeling back the layers of my family's history?
Where would I be if I'd kept those stories to myself?
I rattle the chain between my hands. Let the weight of the hor...

"It was daytime, so there were no stars or moon for me to collect, but I took something of Jeju into my heart that day, some secret that Hallas imparted to me with as much slyness as a young girl fluttering away from home to meet her lover at twilight, a secret I could only begin to feel the shape of, even without knowing its name."

“My knees began to smart and I started to feel “something” in my right hip-flexor–something that reminded me of those cartoons where Elmer Fudd tries to drive a car that literally falls apart with the wheels rolling away and the engine banging out with a “poof.”

"As my brother learned the hard way when he once used the word 'negligee' instead of 'negligent,' it's probably a good idea to know exactly what a word means before you use it."
In this week’s episode, Joanne takes a deep dive into the meaning and etymology of words that might require some clarity, at least as they relate to the ongoing turmoil in the Middle East.
In this episode, Joanne sits down with two men (Sam Livits, COO of Blogilates / Popflex; and her husband Anthony, GM of The Korean Vegan) to talk about how they've found themselves behind the women who've launched themselves into public facing careers and helmed the prows of their own businesses.

"[Loneliness] is associated with a greater risk of cardiovascular disease, dementia, stroke, depression, anxiety, and premature death. The mortality impact of being socially disconnected is similar to that caused by smoking up to 15 cigarettes a day, and even greater than that associated with obesity and physical inactivity." -U.S. Surgeon General's Advisory (2023).
This week, Joanne tackles the subject of loneliness and wonder...
"You need to create a 'Joanne 2.0,' a Joanne that pretends that she knows she deserves to be there as much as everyone else."
I imagined donning the guise of a totally "new" Joanne--one who was confident, made people laugh, strode into rooms with her shoulders back and her gaze straight. Only, it wouldn't really be a "new" me so much as a "fake" me, like a character in a sitcom.
While looking to trick herself out ...

"Family scholars should be less interested in defining what a family is and more focused on what families do . . . ."
