What A Hospice Doctor Wants You to Know About Death
Hang with me for a minute, because this topic is a little morbid. It may seem too dark to feature on a site dedicated to making your weekdays a little brighter, but that’s the thing: Life Between Weekends isn’t about solely focusing on the warm and fuzzy, and glossing over everything else. It’s about honestly…

Y7 Studio Review: The Online Yoga Class That Took Me From Never Working Out to Practicing 7 Days a Week
Long before the pandemic started, I loved online workout classes. From following Yoga with Adriene and Tone It Up on YouTube to subscribing to Glo, FitBit Premium, Obé and Pound Backstage, I’ve tried a ton. But this past year, nothing could motivate me to exercise. I could barely convince myself to walk around the block,…

The Difference Between Quitting and Giving Up, According to GrubHub Founder Mike Evans
Growing up, I was really good at quitting things. Specifically, sports. Because I’m tall, people always told me I should be a basketball player. Or volleyball player. Or maybe get into flag football. But definitely basketball. So I did those things, and very, very early on, I quit them all. (I actually quit flag football…

What Makes People Judgy? The Cringey (Yet Eye-Opening) Truth
You’ve felt it before: Someone eyeing you up and down, whispering to another—and you can’t help but wonder if they’re judging you. And since we’re all human, I’m sure you’ve been there, too: Going all who does he think he is?! over something someone’s doing. It’s natural, but what makes people judgy? How can we…

My Biggest Mistake as a Manager
You ever look back at life—say, when your brain pings you awake at 3 a.m.—and cringe as you relive a season of your past? No? Just me? Well, when I think of my first two years as a manager of a team, I wince. And want to reach out to those direct reports with a…

Some People Are Just Going to Hate You—Here’s How Anne Hathaway Deals with It
As much as I know I can’t please everyone, I still try. I’ve agonized over whether people liked me, whether I offended them, whether they hated me—and why (or what I could do to change their mind about me). It’s a classic Type 9, people pleaser tendency. I’ve been working on letting go; realizing I…

Fail Trying: The Most Powerful Takeaway from Bob Goff’s ‘Dream Big’
Bob Goff is one of those people you can’t believe actually exists. He’s a lawyer who serves as the honorary consul to the Republic of Uganda, who donates the proceeds of his books to bettering others’ lives—and is so willing to lend a hand he prints his actual cell phone number in those books. (Which…

Welp, I Didn’t Expect ‘Thor: Love and Thunder’ to Be a Religious Experience
Sure, sure, Thor is a god, but I didn’t anticipate having a religious experience while watching the latest Marvel movie. Thor: Love and Thunder is every bit the ridiculous, deliberately over-the-top, ’80s-rocker-glam-inspired action movie, and if you’ve seen a single trailer—or Thor: Ragnarok—that’s exactly what you expect. And it’s in that sense of comfort, in…

If You Only Take One Thing from Jenna Kutcher’s ‘How Are You, Really,’ Let It Be This
The concept of “knowing your worth” has always been something that washed over me. Yeah, yeah, sounds good, I’d nod, agreeing but never giving it much thought. Until I read Jenna Kutcher’s new book, How Are You, Really. All 19 chapters are an invitation to push past the perfunctory “how are you?” questions of life…

How to Start an Airbnb, According to Someone Who’s Been There
Nate and I dreamed of launching a furnished rental for years, but we didn’t know where to begin. There were a few mistakes early on that we wish we would’ve known sooner, but it was hard to find a clear-cut guide outlining how to start an Airbnb. Or monthly rental. Or mid-term rental. So, we’re…

One Thing to Do When Tragedy Rocks You to Your Core
Life! You’re beautiful and wonderful and such a gift and…so freaking hard. These past few years alone have brought enough to bring anyone to their knees (pandemic, war, mass shootings, climate change, political upheaval, natural disasters, the fight for social justice—you name it). And in talking to therapists, doctors and counselors, one piece of advice…
