SCIENCE SAYS: While your cortisol (stress hormone) doubles during vigorous exercise, it’s completely normal and your levels return to normal within 24 hours. Think of it as your body's natural energy boost kicking in to power you through those pushes. Despite the online panic of “Is exercise messing with my hormones?!", this study shows that this cortisol spike is temporary. By the time you've showered and had your post-workout smoothie (2-3 hours), your cortisol drops below baseline. So keep crushing those intervals — your body knows exactly what it's doing! 🔥 Want to learn more?

In celebration of Black History Month, we took time to focus on wellness and balance with a powerful Mindfulness Yoga session—hosted by The Culture, our Black Employee Resource Group. 🧘🏾♂️✨ This year’s Black History Month theme, "African Americans and Labor," honors the invaluable contributions of Black professionals in shaping the workforce. Hard work fuels progress, but lasting impact comes from balancing effort with well-being. Stress is part of any career, but for Black professionals, workplace challenges can be uniquely complex. This Mindfulness Yoga session was a meaningful reminder that movement isn’t just about physical strength—it’s about resilience, balance and showing up as our best selves. By taking the time to breathe, stretch and be present, we strengthen not just our bodies but our ability to navigate challenges and maintain a healthy balance between work and well-being. A huge thank you to The Culture for leading this experience! Let’s continue building spaces that uplift, empower and support both success and self-care. 💪🏾🧡 #BlackHistoryMonth #MindfulnessYoga #Wellness #TheCulture #WorkplaceWellness #Balance #Resilience #SelfCare
