['Bridgerton' star Nicola Coughlan's pleas for fans to stop commenting on her body]( The internet, for all its many wondrous things, can also be a cesspool of body-shaming, both outright and insidious. We see this most persistently perhaps with celebrities, who take on the role of dissection subjects regarding their weight. Whether being deemed âtoo thinâ or âtoo fat,â comments about a public figureâs weight seems acceptable to some, simply because they signed up to be in the spotlight. But our better judgment knows this is not the case. Nicola Coughlan, who plays the plot pivotal role of Penelope Featherington on the hit Netflix show âBridgerton,â is no stranger to being inundated with this type of harmful, completely unnecessary feedback from fans. So much so, that she recently posted her own truly heartfelt plea to her Instagram, asking for people to stop commenting on her body. Though we've seen multiple celebrities justifiably speak out against this, itâs hard not to be moved by her words in a whole new way. [Read the Story](
[5-year-old gave his mom advice for handling nerves. It was both adorable and spot-on.]( Any parent knows that kids can be surprisingly astute little philosophers at the most unexpected times. One minute your child is throwing a tantrum because you sliced their sandwich wrong, and the next they are blowing you away with their deep preschool thoughts. It's enough to give you whiplash, but it's also one of the most fun things about being around kids. You never know what they're going to say and sometimes what they say is just awesome. Case in point: This 5-year-old who gave his mom some sage advice about handling her nerves. Twitter user @Eprecipice (StressieBessie) shared the story in a tweet thread. She wrote: "When talking about our agendas for the day, I told my 5yo I was a little nervous about a meeting I have today. He said, 'Mama, I am nervous all the time. I know what to do.' So friends, here is all the advice he could fit into the drive to school:" [Read the Story](

You came, had a good time and had the sense to hit the exit before a fight broke out, the cops showed up or a bunch of people got into a drunken debate about politics. Thereâs one rule my wife and I have: When the couple throwing the party starts to fight, thatâs when you grab your things and go. When youâre younger, itâs a bit harder to recognize the telltale signs that a party is about to go sideways. But when people age and have seen a thing or two, they start to develop a Spidey sense for the moment when itâs time to hit the exit before all hell breaks loose. They also know how long to stay before they've become an unwanted house guest. [Read the Story](
[How 'Wintering' has changed my perspective and improved my mental health]( Winter has always been a bit of a struggle for me. A long slog that must be endured. As soon as October comes around, my mental health takes a dip. I get a rebound in December with its cozy holiday vibes, but once the calendar flips to January, my mental health takes a major hit. I find myself counting down the days until March, wishing time away. But lately, Iâve realized just how problematic this is for me. Not only does my mental health suffer, but as a result of my winter 'blahs,' my relationships also suffer. Iâm shorter with my family. My motivation wanes, which in turn leads to feelings of shame and guilt, which decreases motivation even more. Rinse and repeat. For the past few years, Iâve been making more of a concerted effort to tend to my mental health during these seasonal changes. An introvert at heart, hygge is my jam. Snuggling under a blanket with a hot cuppa something? Yes, please. What has really transformed my outlook on winter and helped my mental health in the process, however, has been the concept of wintering. Popularized by Katherine May in her book by the same name âWintering: The Power of Rest and Retreat in Difficult Times â wintering has not only changed the way I look at this season on the calendar, but also similar seasons of life.
