How to Become a Brand, Not an Employee When you have a branding mindset, on the other hand, you think of your expertise and knowledge like a product or service. Brands offer unique products or experiences that you can't get anywhere else. It's the same in the professional world: You have to go to work and provide expertise and unique experiences with your team members or clients that no one else offers. This personal branding can be experienced in the way you deliver your task, how you dress, or how you conduct yourself in meetings. People with a brand mindset present their best selves every day and constantly work to enhance their knowledge. Continued here

We Finally Know Why We Grow Wisdom Teeth as Adults The pace of our lives are closely intertwined with so many things: hormonal changes, literal growing pains, and (of course) dental development. Most of us don’t remember teething, but plenty recall having our wisdom teeth erupt and, if you live in a place that regularly removes them, getting them yanked out of your jaw.

Why Carbohydrates Aren't the Enemy of Weight Loss Carbohydrates get a bad rap when it comes to weight loss. Conventional wisdom has us believe that to lose weight, we must limit – or eliminate – carbs in our diet. But it’s not that simple. In reality, carbs – sugars and starches found in grains, fruits and vegetables – provide crucial, fast-acting energy to feed your brain, muscles and metabolism. And when they’re not processed into pastry form, they also contain a lot of the minerals, vitamins and fibre needed to maintain good health. In fact, carbohydrates are generally your body’s main (and preferred) source of fuel. Continued here

Even the Parenting Whisperer Has Help Since launching a direct-to-follower counseling practice in early 2020, Dr. Becky Kennedy — a clinical psychologist living in Manhattan and mother of three — has developed a reputation as the “parenting whisperer” of Instagram. Frazzled moms and dads report finding calm in Kennedy’s polished yet off-the-cuff videos, which typically advise them to regulate their own emotions and understand their own boundaries before attempting to do the same for their kids. Those videos have now spawned a 1.2 million-follower Instagram account, a newsletter, a podcast, workshops, and, on September 13, a book — all under the banner of her new brand, Good Inside. That’s also the name of her membership-based counseling platform, which she wants to help bridge the “massive gap” between the story parents are sold about what it means to raise kids and the reality. So many people “internalize the difference as ‘my fault,’ ‘something’s wrong with me,’ ‘I’m not a good parent,’” she says, “rather than in some ways feeling activated and almost enraged, like, ‘Who gave me this narrative?’” Kennedy spoke with the Cut about how she hopes to change that script, and how she gets it done.

Welcome to the new age of the It bag Its death knell has been tolled on so many occasions that its reverberations barely have the time to fade out before it next gets summoned. But fashion is a system of obsolescence, and the rise, fall, and rise again of the It bag is endemic to an industry that hitches itself on the promise of reinvention – on the idea that an oddly-shaped pochette or an intrecciato carry-all might actively change the experience of moving through the world. The Baguette, the Saddle, the Motorcycle: these are the kinds of bags that enter the room before their owners, buoying people into the next versions of themselves with all the charm and irreverence of a JW Anderson Bumper or a Kiko Kostadinov Trivia.
