The Life

The one-hit wonder. In the world of popular music, it’s a somewhat dismissive term. It’s a slight to the bands and artists who enjoyed one hugely successful song (think “MMMbop,” “Walking on Sunshine,” or “867-5309/Jenny”), then more or less disappeared into showbiz oblivion. Personally, I would rather have one hit instead of none. And I often can. That’s...

A week before our trip, Leah sent me an article that was giving her cold feet. “Crowds swarm the Las Vegas Strip as casinos reopen,” The Hill headline screamed. Nevada Gov. Steve Sisolak had signed an emergency directive increasing capacity at casinos and other venues from 35 percent to 50 percent. A photo showed a throng of people,...

 When women lead, communities thrive. That’s not news to female founders, entrepreneurs, and executives, nor is it a truth that’s exclusive to the cannabis industry.

But Emile Berliner created the mass-production flat phonograph record in the late 1880s. Berliner was able to tap methods used in a printing press to create audio recordings. As his access...

  When you drink ayahuasca in the Peruvian Amazon, the shamans chant songs to orchestrate your experience, in every sense of the word. Known as icaros, the songs amplify your visions and drive the medicine deep into where you need it most. Humans have known for centuries that music is the wind beneath the psychonaut’s wings, a tool...

Breath work is the latest trend to get people off of pharmaceuticals and in touch with their bodies. “Since age six, I had horrible chronic migraines,” Lindsay Balgooyen tells me. “I pretty much lived my entire life with a migraine.” Admittedly, I’m not expecting this. My interest in the idea of breath work started when I interviewed comedian...

Couples that play together stay together, but after almost a year of quarantining together in the same ole space, it can be a challenge to keep your flame burning eternal. Or if you’ve been riding solo all this time, you’re no doubt ready to mix things up a bit. Sensi editors to the rescue. We’ve rounded up some...

This is the year that you get what you want. The year 2020 was a Foundation Year designed to show us what’s most important. It was spiritual awareness to our growth, and in many ways, we were forced to recognize and honor our priorities. Isolation, loss, and money worries were (and still are for many) center stage. There...
