Special Weekend Edition

Today we share some quirky items you need to know about ...

Hello Wonderful. Hustling to get to meetings on time, dog-paddling to the top of our inboxes, trying to figure out how we're going to meet deadlines with panache, insomnia, anxiety, repeat. There's something punishingly exhilarating in this flurry of productivity but only because we know there's an end in sight when we can take off the rocket fuel pack and regroup. Earlier this week we had a video chat with Dr. Lisa Mosconi, a neuroscientist and neuronutritionist who will be speaking on Women's Brain Health at The What Summit. It was a timely reminder that when we're stressed we should turn to healthy comfort foods and not reach for the standard greasy carb-laden go-tos.
