Our Values

Positive Impact
We put science first, do our best, offer value, aim to be useful, & continue to improve. By relying on science-based strategies shown to increase well-being, we ensure that our content has a positive impact. But we take impact a step further by continuing to explore what is most useful and valuable to our community. This is how we ensure that our resources become even more impactful in the future. |

Kindness
We are understanding, empathetic, caring, honest, & authentic. It is so important to us to provide a space where kindness and acceptance aid individuals' growth and development. By kindly and gently delivering personal stories, suggestions, and tips, we strive to eliminate common barriers to well-being such as stigma, fear, and self-judgment. |
|
Autonomy
We maintain the perspective that each individual has their own pathway in life. We believe that it is up to each person to make their own decisions about what's best for themselves. Rather than forcing our opinions on others or stating what is "right", we offer diverse perspectives and a variety of solutions that help people determine what is best for them. |
Our Team
We are well-being experts and research rockstars dedicated to supporting well-being business owners and the communities they serve.
