Healthy Habits - Stress and Sleep Study

Did you know 1 in 3 Americans says stress, worries, or responsibilities frequently keep them from falling asleep? Add kids and a phone in the mix and… well, you already know.

Sudoku Bliss recently surveyed Americans in 40 of the country's biggest cities about how they're sleeping and what they do in bed before they drift off (if they ever really do). A few highlights:

  • Across the country, 60%+ of adults are scrolling in bed before sleep — a tough habit to break in any household with kids watching

  • 1 in 4 Americans frequently stay up later than they should to reclaim personal time after work or responsibilities. 

  • In the worst-sleeping cities, 41–59% say they've tried multiple things to fix their sleep with no luck

  • Women are more likely than men to say stress, worries, or responsibilities frequently keep them from falling asleep

  • Women are more likely than men to frequently stay up later than they should to reclaim personal time after work or responsibilities

Mealtime Magic - Brown Butter Caramel Cookies

For Mother's Day, I have a chance to share with you a delicious recipe from cookbook Let's Bake! Over 100 Dessert Recipes for Gifting & Giving by the wonderful home baker Gail Sweeney.

It is a cozy, accessible baking book celebrating time together in the kitchen, ideal for Mother’s Day moments shared across generations.

Brown Butter Caramel Cookies

Ingredients

1 cup butter, browned
1 egg plus 1 yolk at room temperature
2-1/2 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1-1/2 cups dark brown sugar
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
3/4 cup salted caramel Chipits
Two 100-gram 70% chocolate bars such as Lindt, chopped
Sea salt for sprinkling on finished cookies

To make the cookies

Place the butter in a small saucepan and cook over medium heat, swirling the pan occasionally. The butter will froth up and you will see brown particles forming along the top of the butter. Stir the butter occasionally and when the butter turns into a dark amber color, remove from the heat. Set aside to cool in the fridge and continue with the rest of the recipe.

Chop the chocolate bars into small 1/4-inch size pieces. On a large piece of parchment paper, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.

Place the cooled brown butter into the bowl of the stand mixer. There will be browned bits at the bottom of the pan and add these as well as they will intensify the flavor.

Add the brown sugar to the butter and mix on medium high speed until light and creamy. Add the egg and yolk and continue beating until well incorporated. Tip in the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. On low speed, add in the caramel Chipits and chopped chocolate.

Scoop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared cookie sheets, 2 inches apart. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 360°F. Bake the cookies for approximately 15 minutes or until set and golden brown around the edges. Sprinkle the warm cookies with sea salt. Let cool on the trays.

Note: These cookies will keep in an airtight container for one week in the refrigerator or cupboard and can be frozen for up to 2 months.

Enriching Education - Rethinking Higher Education

As more families question whether traditional college models are truly working, Maximilian Kolbe College, founded by Dr. Tera Torres, reflects a shift toward a more intentional approach—one that moves beyond accommodation-based systems and instead focuses on a relationship-centered, experiential model designed around how students actually learn

I had a chance to learn more in this interview.

Why aren't accommodation-based models the best way for higher education to support students who learn differently?

Accommodation-based models are built on the idea that the student is the problem and needs to be “fixed” or adjusted to fit the system. In higher education, that usually looks like extra time on tests or note-taking support—small adjustments layered onto a structure that was never designed for different kinds of learners in the first place. While accommodations 

can be helpful, they don’t address the bigger issue: the learning environment itself often isn’t accessible or flexible. 

Students who learn differently don’t just need more time—they need different approaches, relationships, and ways of engaging with content. When we rely only on accommodations, we’re asking students to adapt to a system that doesn’t work for them, rather than building a system that actually supports how they learn. At Maximilian Kolbe College, we start from a different place: the environment, teaching, and support are designed with these students in mind from the beginning, not added on after the fact.


Why is relationship-centered learning so effective?
Relationship-centered learning works because students learn best when they feel seen, known, and safe. For many students—especially those who haven’t thrived in traditional settings—learning isn’t just about content, it’s about trust. When a student knows that someone understands how they think, how they struggle, and what they’re capable of, they’re much more willing to engage, take risks, and persist through challenges. In traditional higher education, students can feel anonymous and disconnected. Relationship-centered learning flips that. It creates consistent, meaningful connections between students and faculty, which allows teaching to be more responsive and individualized. When relationships come first, students don’t just perform better academically—they build confidence, develop a stronger sense of identity, and start to believe in their own ability to succeed.

What do students need beyond academics to be prepared for the adult world?

Students need far more than academic knowledge to be prepared for the adult world. They need executive functioning skills—things like time management, organization, decision-making, and follow-through. They also need social and communication skills, the ability to navigate relationships, advocate for themselves, and work as part of a team. Just as important is confidence: believing they can handle challenges, recover from mistakes, and figure things out. 

Many students who struggle in traditional systems haven’t had the chance to build these skills in a meaningful way. That’s why real-world experience matters so much. When students are given opportunities to work, solve problems, and take responsibility in supportive environments, they begin to develop independence and resilience. Academics are important, but they’re only one piece of what it takes to function successfully in adult life.

Going Green - Olea Essence



Olea Essence, a Farm to Face antioxidant skincare brand rooted in the power of unfiltered extra virgin olive oil and botanical ingredients, introduces its comprehensive line of natural skincare products designed to nourish, restore, and rejuvenate skin from head to toe.  

Featuring regenerative olives grown on Olea Essence Farms and a 100% olive oil–based skincare line where the regenerative olives are grown on the Olea Essence Farms and the products are  developed and produced at Olea Essence Labs  in the Sea of Galilee region, the Olea Essence Skincare Collection embodies a true farm-to-face philosophy. Every product is grounded in nature and backed by modern skin science, blending ancient Mediterranean beauty traditions with advanced formulation techniques to deliver visible, lasting results.  

With Mother’s Day gifting top of mind and summer skin care needs, there is no better way to celebrate and nurture than with skincare powered by sustainably grown, nutrient-rich olives and thoughtfully developed formulations.

This deeply hydrating serum helps reduce dryness, improve skin elasticity, and restore a radiant, youthful glow.  

“Olea Essence was born from a belief that the most powerful skincare solutions come from nature—specifically from the olive tree, which has been revered for centuries for its healing and nourishing properties,” said Avner Talmon, Founder of Olea Essence. “From regenerative olives grown on our Olea Essence Farms to the formulations developed and produced in our labs, every step is intentional. We combine this heritage with modern skin science to create products that don’t just sit on the skin, but truly work with it—helping restore balance, hydration, and a natural, healthy glow.”  

A Complete Skincare Ritual Powered by Nature and Science 

The Olea Essence collection offers a full regimen of products targeting a wide range of skin concerns, including dryness, aging, sensitivity, and uneven texture: 

• Face Serum ($65) – A fast-absorbing, anti-aging serum that deeply nourishes and restores skin overnight, leaving it soft, flexible, and radiant. 

• Olive Wash & Exfoliate for Face ($18–$20) – A unique 3-in-1 cleanser, scrub, and toner made with crushed olives and pits to gently exfoliate while maintaining hydration.

Rich in bioactive polyphenols, olive oil has been the subject of modern dermatological research. Studies on key compounds such as oleocanthal and oleacein have demonstrated their ability to support skin regeneration and visibly reduce signs of aging, reinforcing the effectiveness of olive-based skincare.

When combined with complementary botanicals such as jojoba, avocado, tea tree, and lavender oils, the result is a powerful yet gentle skincare system that: 

• Boosts hydration and locks in moisture 

• Supports skin barrier repair and regeneration

• Improves tone, texture, and elasticity

Book Nook -

Infinite Books recently published Dispatches from Grief: A Mother's Journey Through the Unthinkable, the new memoir by journalist and author Danielle Crittenden. The book is an account of the sudden death of her thirty-two-year-old daughter, Miranda Frum, who was found in her Brooklyn apartment on a February morning.

Dispatches from Grief is the rare memoir of loss that refuses easy comfort. With precision, restraint, and unexpected humor, Crittenden traces the strange afterlife of grief: the friends who disappear, the well-meaning consolations that wound, the routines that no longer hold, and the slow work of carrying a daughter's memory forward. The result is a book that earns its place beside the canonical works of mourning.

Indigo Chapters, Canada's largest bookseller, has selected Dispatches from Grief as a Heather's Pick, an honor reserved for titles personally chosen and championed by Indigo founder Heather Reisman. The Atlantic published an excerpt, "On Losing a Daughter," in its May issue, and the book has drawn early praise from David Brooks, Anne Applebaum, Tina Brown, Andrew Solomon, Lori Gottlieb, Christopher Buckley, and Pauline Boss, among others.

"Danielle wrote Dispatches through the worst thing that can happen to a parent, and she wrote it without flinching and without false comfort," said Jimmy Soni, Editor-in-chief of Infinite Books. "I have never seen readers respond to one the way they are responding to this. People who have lost children. People who love someone who has. People who simply recognize the truth when they see it on a page. They tell us, again and again, that Danielle has named something they thought could not be named. That is the highest thing a book can do, and Danielle has done it."

Parenting Pointers - Development and validation of the Mother's Socioemotional Support Circle (MSSC)

As Mother's Day approaches, research led by Martha G. Welch, MD highlights a critical but often overlooked factor in maternal well-being: the strength of a mother's support system.

A tool for making support visible

study published in Acta Psychologica and available through ScienceDirect introduces the Mother's Socioemotional Support Circle, a novel clinical tool designed to assess and strengthen the network of emotional and practical support surrounding mothers of preterm infants in neonatal care.

While validated in a neonatal setting, the tool's central insight carries broader relevance across early childhood, including the preschool years: mothers do better when their support systems are visible, reliable, and actively strengthened, especially when they are facing high-stress parenting challenges such as tantrums, meltdowns, sleep difficulties, and school-related issues.

What the study found

The findings showed that mothers with stronger support networks reported lower levels of anxiety and depressive symptoms, and that stronger baseline support predicted fewer depressive symptoms and greater confidence caring for their babies over time.

"Motherhood is often framed as something women should manage alone, with the ability to 'do it all' widely celebrated," said Martha G. Welch, MD. "Our research shows that maternal well-being is, in fact, part of a relational network. When we can see and strengthen a mother's support circle, we can directly impact her mental health and her ability to care for her child."

The Support Circle tool provides a simple, visual way for mothers and clinicians to identify key support figures — including partners, family members, friends and healthcare providers — and evaluate how accessible and helpful those relationships are.

Unlike assessments that focus primarily on symptoms, the tool offers a proactive way to identify where support is strong, where it is missing, and where targeted actions may help before distress escalates.

Among the findings:

  • Higher support scores were associated with lower maternal anxiety and depressive symptoms.
  • Stronger baseline support predicted fewer depressive symptoms and greater confidence caring for their babies over time.
  • The tool demonstrated strong reliability and was practical for use in real-world care settings.

These findings arrive at a critical moment, as maternal mental health remains a major concern for families, clinicians and health systems.

"Support is not optional, it is foundational," added Martha G. Welch, MD. "If we want to improve outcomes for mothers and babies, we must design systems that care for the mother as much as for the child."

This Mother's Day, the research invites a shift in perspective: from celebrating mothers for carrying so much alone to recognizing the networks that help them and their children thrive. Parents and clinicians can download the Support Circle tool here.

About the study
The study, "Development and validation of the Mother's Socioemotional Support Circle (MSSC)," was published in Acta Psychologica, Volume 258, August 2025, and is available through ScienceDirect. It evaluated a new tool for measuring support networks among mothers of preterm infants.
