Say good-bye to burn-out and learn how to make bank in 2021 No images? Click here My Isolation Diary By Emily Vogel Dear Diary, On the season premiere of 2021, producers shocked audiences with new romances (hello Olivia Wilde and Harry Styles), shocking break-ups (sayonara Kim and Kanye) and even a political showdown (yes Georgia, I’m looking at you). Some other jaw-dropping moments include Dr. Dre's aneurism and armed protestors storming the halls of Capitol Hill. We’re still waiting on an official comment from Chris Harrison, but sources close to him say that he’s calling this the “most dramatic season yet." Meanwhile I've decided to go full Hilaria and pick-up a new accent, except mine's British, due to the fact that I'm re-watching "Bridgerton" for the fifth time. I've started uncontrollably shouting things like, "Mother, I can't find anything to wear for today's Zoom calls, I must be fitted for a new wardrobe at the modiste" or "what's taking the coronavirus vaccine so long?! We must make haste!" In my humble opinion, "Bridgerton" was probably the best thing to come out of 2020... I guess the birth of my new niece Charlotte was pretty cool too. 21 Shows and Movies to Watch (Source: Liam Daniel/Netflix) So you're looking for more TV shows like "Bridgerton" on Netflix, eh?

On Sunday, the 117th Congress was sworn in, making progressive Democratic representatives Cori Bush and Jamaal Bowman a more official part of the congressional Squad made up of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ayanna Pressley, Ilhan Omar, and Rashida Tlaib. Bush, who defeated a longtime incumbent in her district last year, was elected as the first Black congresswoman in Missouri. The 44-year-old St. Louis native is a registered nurse, an ordained pastor and an activist. Rep. Jamaal Bowman, a former middle-school principal, defeated a 16-term incumbent to represent New York's 16th district. "Our squad is the unseen and the unheard and the ignored and the marginalized and the neglected. We fight for them and as much as we can, we fight and speak on their behalf," said Bowman.

How This Olympian's Battle With Depression Changed Her Relationship With Mental Health(Source: Joanna Forsythe) While Alexi Pappas may be best known as an Olympic runner who competed for Greece in the 2016 Rio Games, she is so much more than an athlete. The 30-year-old is also a writer, actress and now author, with her memoir, Bravey: Chasing Dreams, Befriending Pain, and Other Big Ideas, coming out January 21. Pappas was diagnosed with severe clinical depression after running in the Rio Olympics and experiencing episodes of insomnia, pain in her hamstring and lower back, and suicidal thoughts. "I think many people, especially athletes, make the same mistake of not taking a mental 'injury' as seriously as they would a physical injury," she says. "I found a doctor who explained that depression is like when you fall and have a scrape on your knee—except instead of the cut being on your knee, it is on your brain." "The shift from feeling helpless to feeling in control was the greatest feeling ever," Pappas added. 5 Things Moms Can Do To
