Lets go for an adventure. We'll get lost and probably dirty. We share our secrets up high where the views are always pretty. Climb a tree, sleep on a log. Get grounded while drinking London fog. Laze on cool rocks from afar, and when that's done we'll rocket to the car. Prepare for the unexpected, I never know where I'm going. I just know that we'll laugh, learn, and do some internet trolling. Let's be spontaneous, or maybe just chill. I'll share my passions, or whatever fits the bill. So ge ...

How did Larry Nassar, an Olympic gymnastics doctor, get away with abusing hundreds of women and girls for two decades? Believed is an inside look at how a team of women won a conviction in one of the largest serial sexual abuse cases in U.S. history. It's a story of survivors finding their power in a cultural moment when people are coming to understand how important that is. It's also an unnerving exploration of how even well-meaning adults can fail to believe.

Thousands of years ago, monks and yogis would seek out enlightenment in caves and in the forests. In our times, we don’t have the opportunity to seek enlightenment in caves. We are tasked to awaken in our daily lives. We are monks without monasteries. We are modern yogis and most of our yoga is done off the mat. That is, if we are paying attention. Alyssa dives into the awakening that comes about in our daily life experiences after our yoga and meditation practice. And it’s not all pretty po ...
