Warriors, you have reached Level 1: Denial. Will you succumb to Guyana's soothing solution to ignore the fact you are going to die, or will Exco stress you out enough to confront reality?****Produced and edited by Salimah Ismail.

Warriors, it's time for you to meet Stressor Exco and Soother Guyana!

Warriors, you will be visited by two recent graduates of the Academy of the Inner Voices. Soother Guyana and Stressor Exco. Why? Because it is your time. Time to reckon with your mortality. Because we all know how this ends, but we don't know when.And in that uncertainty, we forget and lose our path and perspective.But as a Warrior, it is your job to be brave and face the truth. The graduates will help you, providing different perspectives that will soothe or stress you, but ultimately ready you for your next stage. Good Luck.  ****Produced and edited by Salimah Ismail.

Warriors, Did you know that the humming part of hummingbird comes from the sound created when they flap their wings quickly?  But that's not all the sounds they make. Think about all the sounds you make and all the sounds you hear throughout the day. Sounds can make us laugh, calm our minds, make us angry, or make us dance. It's all about being intentional.  Surround yourself with soothing music during your work day or make yourself giggle by screaming "bubbles." It's up to you Warriors. So...how will you use sound today?****If you recently received new insights or have a story about your own year of the hummingbird, let us know!

Warriors, it's already April! Can you believe it? This year is already flying by. We're entering month 4 of our Hummingbird journey.Hummingbirds are tetrachromatic while humans are only trichromatic which means that hummingbirds can see a much broader color spectrum than humans can.This month we're asking ourselves, am I seeing the world through a trichromatic lens or a tetrachromatic lens?    In other words, are you seeing the world based solely on your own insights, knowledge, and experiences? Or, are you honoring the wisdom, ideas, and opinions that come to you from others? This month is all about tapping into your own tetrachromacy, whatever that means to you. What have your learned from others? What insights have you given to others?Be open to whatever comes your way this month, Warrior. And enjoy yourself! ****If you recently received new insights or have a story about your own year of the hummingbird, let us know!

Welcome Back, Warriors!We are thrilled to have you back for another year of protecting the Well-Beings! We've noticed that the Well-Beings are getting too comfortable. They're in limbo, going through the motions day after day after day with nothing new... They're getting bored and tired, suffering from a lack of stimulation,  a lack of joy. It's your job to combat this, Warriors. This year, we're bringing joy back. We're bringing curiosity back. We're bringing excitement back!Get ready because you will be assigned your first mission on March, 1. Let's do this Warriors! Produced and edited by Salimah Ismail.

Welcome back Warriors, I want to commend you for how hard you've worked this year! You have really made a difference for the Well-Beings and you should be proud of yourselves. With that being said, you have one final mission of 2022 and I know you're going to rock it!The Well-Beings have a habit of saying yes when they should say no. This ultimately leads to them depleting themselves trying to help a friend when they really don't have the time or resources which inevitability causes resentment and eventually the relationship can crumble. We need your help to save them from this cycle of misplaced responsibility using these 3 simple questions. We all believe in your Warrior and we'll see you next year!Produced and edited by Salimah Ismail.

Welcome back Warriors! The Well-Beings have been in conflict with each other but they're not talking about what's bothering them so nothing is getting solved. It's our job to teach the Well-Beings how to come to a resolution without getting in an argument. I believe in you Warrior, just remember..... D.E.A.R.M.A.N!Produced and edited by Salimah Ismail.

Hi Warriors, Your mission this week is to help the Well-Beings prepare for inevitable change that they will experience in their lives sooner or later.

Welcome back Warrior, This month the Well-Beings are struggling because they can't seem to break their bad habits which is leading to mental decline. It's up to you to assess which habits are strengthening their wellness and which ones are depleting it. We've provided you with an assessment to track the habits of the Well-Beings and lead them to future of wellness success! Download: My Weekly Wellness AssessmentProduced and edited by Salimah Ismail.

Warrior, We're so glad you back because this quest is an important one. Many of the Well-Being's are getting sucked into toxicity and allowing people into their life that aren't serving them with positivity and growth. It's your job to uncover these relationships because they're holding the Well-Being's back from reaching their ultimate potential. It might not be easy but I believe in you. 

Welcome back Warriors!You all have been summoned to battle. The Stressors demand a fight or they're going to storm the grounds and no one will be safe. But, I'll let you in on a little secret. The Army of Stressors is lead by General Benrick and General Joanntha who can never agree on anything so be sure to listen carefully, it will ultimately decide your fate.  Be brave Warrior and let the Battle of Choosing Our Battles BEGIN!  Produced and edited by Salimah Ismail.

Welcome back Warriors, I have a new mission for you. In order to save the Well-Beings you need to find Authenticity. On your path you'll come across imposters that will try to deceive you into thinking they are Authenticity but they're not. Be aware of these tricksters and find the real Authenticity! I believe in you Warrior! Produced and edited by Salimah Ismail. Music provided by purpleplanet.com and sound effects obtained from https://www.zapsplat.com 

WELCOME BACK WARRIOR!!We are so happy you decided to join us again on our quest to save the Well-Beings. Last year, you proved your fortitude during the Battle of the 7 Dimensions of Wellness. The battle may be won but the war isn't over. It is time to take your training to the next level.  The Evil Stressors of Cortisolo have strong roots. Their resilience comes from their secrecy and hiding behind the feelings of shame and taboo. For this season of training, we encourage you to join us on the Road Less Travelled and engage in conversations on topics that most like to avoid and try out some practices that will force the stressors out and make you stronger.  How will you find them? Here's a hint: you might want to venture into uninhabited territory. Be brave Warrior, the Well-Beings are counting on you. Produced and edited by Salimah Ismail.
