Most entrepreneurs step into the startup world prepared to fight competitors, woo investors, and navigate unpredictable markets. They expect the sleepless nights and tough decisions. What they don’t expect is how one click, a single email link, a quick download, an innocent attachment, could take everything they’ve built and put it on the line.The battleground for modern startups isn’t just on sales calls or pitch decks.

It always feels better to be exhausted from taking little steps forward, than it does to be tired of doing absolutely nothing.In 1911 two explorers, Amundsen and Scott, embarked on a race against each other to become the first known human being to set foot upon the southernmost point of Earth. It was the age of Antarctic exploration, as the South Pole represented one of the last uncharted areas in the world.

We get it: you may not be enthusiastic about traditional medicine. However, traditional medicine is not the only type of medical help that you can consider as a patient. Specifically, while integrative medicine addresses the whole person rather than just the disease, another type of medicine has gained popularity in recent years: functional medicine. Similar to integrative medicine, it strives to treat the holistic individual, while also paying close attention to internal and external environmental factors. In this article, we explore the difference between functional and traditional medicine, the benefits of each and whether or not you should have a functional and traditional medicine doctor.

The first time you open an online casino site, it’s easy to get swept up. Bright colors. Spinning banners. Promises of endless bonuses, free spins, special tournaments. Every corner of the screen flashes at you like a carnival. You feel like you’ve stumbled into the perfect place.

Does it ever feel like some days you’re on the same wavelength as your partner, and others, you’re living parallel lives under the same roof? The subtle signs of emotional distance in a relationship don’t mean your relationship is beyond repair. However, if you start to notice them, it might be time to tune in, reflect, and take action.Maybe it’s the slow accumulation of daily stressors or the small but mounting missed opportunities for connection.

We’ve all been there. One second you’re in the middle of an argument, and the next, your partner suddenly goes silent. They avert their gaze, refusing to respond and abruptly shutting you out.

If you’ve ever felt the sting after a comment or “joke” that felt just a little bit off, especially if it came from your partner, you’re probably not imagining things. Microaggressions, which are subtle, biased, discriminatory behaviors, can cut deep. Maybe you walked away from an interaction feeling rejected.

Developing close relationships — whether with an intimate partner, friend, or family member — means sharing our thoughts, supporting each other, and sometimes even choosing to build a life together. What happens, though, when closeness becomes so all-encompassing that the lines between “you” and “me” blur into “us” in a way that there’s no space left for individuality? An enmeshed relationship happens when emotional boundaries or our sense of self becomes blurred or even non-existent.

Queerplatonic relationships (QPRs) are deeply committed, intense partnerships. The emotional component goes far beyond a typical friendship but defies the norms of traditional sexual and romantic relationships. QPRs can be confusing and are often misunderstood because they don’t fit neatly into society’s expectations about monogamy, sexuality, or romance.

A note about AI: On the Talkspace blog we aim to provide trustworthy coverage of all the mental health topics people might be curious about, by delivering science-backed, clinician-reviewed information. Our articles on artificial intelligence (AI) and how this emerging technology may intersect with mental health and healthcare are designed to educate and add insights to this cultural conversation. We believe that therapy, at its core, is focused around the therapeutic connection between human therapists and our members. At Talkspace we only use ethical and responsible AI tools that are developed in partnership with our human clinicians. These tools aren’t designed to replace qualified therapists, but to enhance their ability to keep delivering high-quality care. To learn more, visit our AI-supported therapy page.Have you ever texted through an argument? Sent a meme or reel to break the ice after a confrontation? Used a dating app? Digital tools and technology are already a part of relationships today, so it may not come as a surprise to learn that artificial intelligence (AI) is also entering the field of therapy.

You can’t quite put your finger on it, but something just seems off. You ask your partner, “what’s wrong?” They quickly respond, “nothing,” but their tone is tense and their body language is closed off. Not to mention, they’ve barely looked in your direction all day.

It happens to all of us gradually as we live and grow. We discover more about who we are and the way life is, and then we realize there are some changes we need to make. The lifestyle we’ve been living no longer fits.

As a child psychologist, I see a direct connection between academic achievement and a child’s ability to build meaningful friendships, manage their emotions, and tolerate distress. When a child is emotionally dysregulated, they are less available to learn. When individuals with ADHD get triggered and do not have the skills to regulate emotions effectively, they enter a fight-or-flight state.

“It takes courage to say yes to rest and play in a culture where exhaustion is seen as a status symbol.” ~Brené Brown

Your brand isn’t a logo. It’s the lived expression of who you are, what you value, and the legacy you’re building.In today’s world, personal branding is non-negotiable. But too many leaders approach it from the outside in.

The truth does not cease to exist when it is forgotten or ignored.You know how you can hear or read something dozens of times in various ways before it finally sinks in? The truths listed below fall firmly into that category — timeless lessons that many of us probably learned years ago, and have been reminded of ever since, yet for whatever reason we tend to forget in the heat of the moment.This, my friends, is my attempt at helping all of us, myself included, “get it” and “remember it” once and for all…We know deep down that life is short, and that death will happen to all of us eventually, and yet we are infinitely surprised when it happens to someone we know. It’s like walking up a flight of stairs with a distracted mind, and misjudging the final step. You expected there to be one more stair than there is, and so you find yourself off balance for a moment, before your mind shifts back to reality and how the world really is.So let that reminder be a wake-up call to truly live your life today! Don’t ignore death, but don’t be afraid of life either.

And to lighten the mood when you need it but also give you a sharp focus when that’s what’s need for success.“I cannot imagine anything nobler or more national than that for, say, one hour in the day we should all do the labor the poor must do, and thus identify ourselves with them and through them, with all mankind.” – Mahatma Gandhi“You can’t get there by bus, only by hard work and risk and by not quite knowing what you’re doing. What you’ll discover will be wonderful.

And a happy and beautiful start to your fall season.“By all these lovely tokens, September days are here. With summer’s best of weather and autumn’s best of cheer.” – Helen Hunt Jackson“Let this be the September you always remember.

“In elementary school my parents told me it didn’t matter what I did when I grew up, so long as it made me happy. ‘Happiness is the whole point of life,’ my father said. ‘But it doesn’t always come easy. Your mother loves to help people in need, so she became a psychiatric nurse. I love reading, writing and poetry, so I became an English teacher. We both find happiness in the hard work we do each day.’A few years later when I was in junior high, my sixth-grade homeroom teacher put me in detention for ‘being difficult.’ She went around the classroom and asked each student what they wanted to be when they grew up. When she got to me, I told her I wanted to be happy. She told me I was missing the whole point of the question. I told her she was missing the whole point of life.”That’s an old parable my grandmother recited to me countless times when I was a kid.

Q: “I get really hungry an hour or two before bedtime. I know this isn’t optimal for my health. How can I manage my eating earlier in the day to avoid overeating at night?”Feeling overly hungry or out of control around food at night is a common experience for people with ADHD.

Have you ever felt like fat and food were your enemies? Like everything would be better if you could just lose weight—and eat whatever you want without consequence?
