Almost every Friday, my best friend and I head to our local pizza restaurant, slide into a booth, and place the same order: a kale salad, a large pie with sweet Italian sausage and caramelized onions, and a pitcher of beer. Over the course of our three-year-old ritual, in addition to consuming hundreds of slices, we’ve befriended two of the servers that work there, frequently chatting with them about their lives, the holidays, and, of course, the weather. I’ll admit: Sometimes I feel embarrassed that I’m returning to the same place and ordering the same meal instead of trying a…
For years, I exercised for all the wrong reasons. Exercise felt like a pursuit for a better looking body, putting myself through unsustainable – and, frankly, awful – workouts in the name of changing physically. I’d find myself signing up to bootcamp-style workouts that would have me dry heaving halfway through, powering on through embarrassment for a few sessions before giving up. I never actually quite stuck to anything long term and felt horribly guilty for it, with movement becoming something to tick off my to-do list rather than anything I actually enjoyed. And if I was having a particularly…

Initiative vs. guilt is the third stage of Erik Erikson’s theory of psychosocial development. This stage occurs during the preschool years, between the ages of 3 and 5. During the initiative versus guilt stage, children begin to assert their power and control over the world through directing play and other social interactions. The initiative vs. guilt stage is all about kids learning how to exert control and gain a greater sense of power—over their own actions and over their environment. They explore. They try new things. Sometimes, they make mistakes. The key is having the freedom (with support, guidance, and safety) to try things without fearing…
Although AAV is a chronic condition with no cure, it’s crucial to work with your care team to treat it and any side effects of corticosteroid treatment that you may experience.“It’s very important to have open communication about side effects you are experiencing,” Dua says. “If we aren’t aware of your concerns and issues around the medications, we can’t appropriately address them or take steps to try and help minimize the side effects and toxicities you are experiencing.”This starts before treatment begins, Savjani says.
