[Disclosure: This week’s digital content is created in partnership with NOW®. As always, we only partner with the brands we truly love]
We had to triple check this statement, but in fact, it’s true: we’re entering our tenth week (10!!!) of creating fully digital content. Each week, we aim to create programming that helps you feel strong, connected and productive.
And this week, NOW® – a brand that makes natural products that empower people to lead healthier lives – is helping us to create a schedule that’s peppered with our intentions: feeling “strong,” “connected,” and “productive.”
You’ll find a workshop built to ease you into a better night of sleep Monday night. You’ll find mindful moments Tuesday and Thursday evening. Tuesday evening, we’re going to set our sights on self love with a yoga and drawing workshop. Wednesday, Trainers you know and love are going to share their hot tips for creating digital workouts. Thursday, we’ll journal with the co-founder of Today I Did it Right. Friday morning, we’re going to have a breakfast power hour with the one, the only Kelly LeVeque. And on Friday, we’re going to dance you into the weekend with a Zoom dance party featuring Ashley Rockwood.
We can hardly wait. Excited to get this started with us and want to grab your own NOW Foods goodies? Use code “ASWEATLIFE” to get 20% off at nowfoods.com through 5/31/20.*

Ariel will lead us through an intimate writing session where we’ll get together, light the candles, and self-connect through writing and reflection.
