The ACADEMi of Life

We offer transformational events on topics people care about but rarely talk about; mental + emotional well-being, resilience, love - things that matter most.

Addiction, what a tough disease. Thank you @HunterBiden … my niece died of an accidental overdose at 42 years old. Keep this conversation going. There should be no stigma, shame or denial associated with this disease. 48 million that we know of, I am sure this number is higher!

[Hunter Biden @HunterBiden]

Just saying…

48 million Americans have a substance use problem.

8 out of 10 don’t get treatment.

The crisis isn’t addiction. It’s access.

My sister Maya and I were profoundly shaped by the influence of our mom, Ann Dunham. Giving Maya a preview of the Obama Presidential Center, including a new sculpture by Maya Lin dedicated to our mom’s memory, was truly special.

@piersmorgan @elonmusk The biggest bullshit I have heard this year. Musk is a nightmare and has done significant damage to this country….he could have 100 trillion dollars and I would NOT be impressed. The achievement of mega money is nothing… being a good decent human being is everything!

Joyful June…
Life can feel heavy at times, but there are still good things all around us: moments of kindness, beauty, joy and connection. When we notice and appreciate them, we feel more resilient and hopeful.

It was great talking to Stephen and the inspiring young people we’ve worked with at the @ObamaFoundation on the @ColbertLateShow.

When the Obama Presidential Center opens this June 19, my hope is that this will be a place where people can come together to meet, learn, and work with each other to create change in their communities. Learn more at https://t.co/ahkDMKalIn.

Grounding, also known as earthing, is when you stand on the earth or have contact with a product that’s grounded into the earth. This connects your body to the natural electric charge of the earth, transferring electrons into your body. Some research shows that soaking up electrons can lower inflammation, ease stress, and improve sleep, to name a few. https://t.co/w1zJBzWxQF

Caroline Kennedy : “We grew up together. It’s no surprise that he keeps birds of prey as pets because Bobby himself is a predator. He enjoyed showing off by putting baby chickens & mice in a blender to feed to his hawks.”
