1 in 6 young people face mental health challenges, and too often they can’t get support when they first need it. That’s why I've joined @MindCharity to call on the government to fund early support hubs across England. Will you add your name? #FundTheHubs campaigns.mind.org.uk/page/1…

Resting is not a waste of time. It's an investment in well-being.
Relaxing is not a sign of laziness. It's a source of energy.
Breaks are not a distraction. They're a chance to refocus attention.
Play is not a frivolous activity. It's a path to connection and creativity.

63 studies: women who assert their ideas, make direct requests, and advocate for themselves are liked less.
They're also less likely to get hired—and it hasn't improved over time.
It's 2021. When will we stop punishing dominant women for violating outdated gender stereotypes?

“One of the best strategies for managing emotions is to name them... By acknowledging that so many of us are languishing, we can start giving voice to quiet despair and lighting a path out of the void.” @AdamMGrant

Our brain is an explanation machine. Research finds that in the face of ambiguity, we look for patterns, connect the dots, and draw conclusions. When we don’t find a meaningful explanation, we will impose one.

We often let our expertise become our armor.
It takes courage, humility, and integrity to favor hard questions over easy answers, learning over knowing, and getting it right over being right.

Stereotype threat is the fear of conforming to a negative stereotype about your identity. Researchers have found that the anxiety it creates can produce the very stereotype you’re trying to avoid.
How has stereotype threat affected your life?

Don't quit. Never give up trying to build the world you can see, even if others can't see it. Listen to your drum and your drum only. It's the one that makes the sweetest sound.
