During the pandemic, work & life are increasingly blurred. We work 30 min more on avg vs pre-covid times! All activities - from learning to fitness & wellness - are online. We regularly have live, group video calls with people from around the country/world. Enter @withmedley👇

You’ve said something, you’ve felt something and you are using your access and platform to amplify the need to do something. . This is a journey that started century’s ago. We need you and so many others to help change the path of the future.

"Work" does not describe what Simone and the thousands of people @MountSinaiNYC are doing to save lives. You are driven by a purpose that we should all aspire to. Thank you @PoppyHarlowCNN for the humanity that you help us see and feel.
