• Pieces on all things getting better sleep...we're talking managing sleep debt, optimizing sleep positions, sleep and mental well-being/menstrual cycles, dreams, social life, you name it. Just needs to be a thing we haven't covered and backed by science/experts.
• And pieces on zeitgeisty things in the lifestyle and well-being realm that I can't even predict because they're happening in real-time (read: TikTok trends) OR very personal. Great examples by Alex Temblador https://www.wellandgood.com/gift-from-partner-for-getting-iud/
