  We know what you’re doing right now – taking a break from work to see the latest news on #Bennifer2.0. Any new pics? Are they trolling A-Rod? Do they like the attention? And will there finally be a Bennifer wedding? All great questions, that one person in particular is qualified to answer: comedian, producer and podcaster @carolinarosebarlow, who hosts the iHeartMedia podcast @trueromancepod, where she and Devin Leary guide listeners through the trials and tribulations of public and personal love stories. Aside from “True Romance”, Carolina also co-hosts “The Ron Burgundy Podcast,” with the on-screen Ron Burgundy himself, Will Ferrell (they interviewed VP Kamala Harris!!!). In the producing realm, she has worked with Will at his production company Gloria Sanchez for 6 years. We spoke to the woman of many hats to learn more about her interesting career, obsession with romance, and how the film industry is changing for women. "Progress feels slow most days. I think right now we have to stop talking about women like we’re all in one congealed group. BIPOC women don’t get the same opportunities as white women. Sierra Ornelas is a Navajo American who co-created this amazing show 'Rutherford Falls'. It’s the best show that didn’t receive any Emmy nominations. It seems like it’s still an uphill battle," she said, before talking about how Gloria Sanchez work to make a difference. "Will and his partner Jessica Elbaum have championed women, but also women who are writing and directing for the first time. They work with people who don’t have any awards under their belt, but Will and Jess have faith in these artists."

  Leaping into the weekend like Sunisa Lee winning gold at the Olympics! Well, not quite because she's a badass athlete at the top of her game, but celebrating her victory is something we love to do! She made history by becoming the first Hmong-American gymnast to medal in the Games. She was also the first Hmong-American to compete in Olympic gymnastics. Sunisa won the gold medal in the women’s gymnastics all-around competition, and called the experience “surreal.” Sunisa's win came after teammate Simone Biles withdrew to take care of her mental health. Speaking to NBC after winning, Sunisa addressed all the critics who hit out at Simone with vile racist and sexist remarks, saying, “We don’t owe anybody anything,” she said. “We don’t owe you a gold medal. You’re not the one competing.” It should also be noted that the viral video of Sunisa's family celebrating her win was an important one, as they have experienced some tragedy over the past year. Sunisa lost an aunt and uncle to COVID-19. She even contemplated quitting at one point. But she persevered. So today we celebrate not just her win, but the symbolism of her making history for Hmong Americans, and for the way more and more athletes are taking a stand for themselves, pushing back against unrealistic and harmful demands of them. They are human beings and deserve to be treated as such. Not to mention she is so young! Congratulations on your win @sunisalee_! You deserve this! 🤸🏿‍♀️ #sunisalee #gymnastics #olympics #tokyo #asianamerican #hmongamerican #gold #athlete #badass #friday #friyay #shedidthat #history #instagood

  Medical professionals often use the 4 vital signs - body temperature, pulse rate, respiration rate and blood pressure - to determine what might be wrong with us and give us the best advice. But what if there was another vital sign that could help us? As it turns out, some gynecologists believe MENSTRUATION is an important way to help especially womxn be empowered to take charge of their own health. And now a new collaboration between 2 health experts - hormone expert Alisa Vitti and gynecologist Dr. Alyssa Dweck - and global women's healthcare company @intimina, is working to demystify what our bodies and menstrual cycles are telling us about our health. By implementing do-it-yourself biology, the brands’ aim is to amplify new intimate and self-care habits. “Women’s cycles provide valuable hormonal biofeedback that each woman should be monitoring to understand how her ratio of estrogen and progesterone is responding to the foods she is eating,” said Alisa Vitti. “Menstrual health can be thought of as a quick window into one’s general health, often referred to as a “vital sign”. It’s incredibly important for women to learn about what’s typical and what’s concerning as it relates to menstrual health starting at a young age,” said Dr. Alyssa Dweck. Intimina also recognizes the importance of breaking down menstrual stigma which still exists in so many areas. “If we look at popular culture, depictions of periods have ranged from wildly inaccurate and unsympathetic to being the subject of jokes and derision. Our goal to bring menstrual health conversations to the forefront gets us a step closer in ending period stigma and normalizing women’s health topics in everyday life,” they said.

  “It’s OK to not be OK” We’re all about two of the worlds greatest athletes OF ALL TIME prioritizing their #mentalhealth over the expectations and pressure of others. Thank you @simonebiles and @naomiosaka for normalizing this issue the way you both have. You are true role models and heroes to so many. 💆🏾‍♀️ Posted @withregram • First image via @ariannahuff. Second image via @time In an exclusive essay, @naomiosaka details why she puts her mental health first. "Perhaps we should give athletes the right to take a mental break from media scrutiny on a rare occasion without being subject to strict sanctions. In any other line of work, you would be forgiven for taking a personal day here and there, so long as it's not habitual," Osaka writes. "I also do not want to have to engage in a scrutiny of my personal medical history ever again. So I ask the press for some level of privacy and empathy next time we meet." Read more from her essay, including her plans for the Tokyo Olympics, at the link in bio.
