@HoliHappiness right bc the woman should be at home cooking his dinner waiting for him to come home? Why else are you assuming she'll be home first.. 🙄
@narsha_adey@halleberry Agree. It's depressing the way things are going backwards for women. Thin is in again, even skeletal. Roles based only on sexuality and objectification (e.g. Nicole Kidman's last 2 or 3 roles. The Substance, Nosferatu, Saltburn etc. Being a high paid escort is not empowering 🙄🤦♀️
I spent years chasing clarity and made every mistake in the book.
Knowing what I know now, I could have healed my nervous system in WEEKS instead of years...
Here's everything I learned for free:
(including the Vortex Breath that changed it all): 🧵
In the early 1990s, while filming Mrs. Doubtfire in San Francisco, Robin Williams made a quiet request.
He asked the crew to hire a few people from a nearby homeless shelter.
No press. No explanation. He didn’t want anyone to know why.
Later, an assistant director revealed that Robin did this on every film. He insisted that at least ten people from shelters be given jobs—catering, cleanup, production help. By the end of his life, nearly 1,500 people had worked because of him.
One man hired on Mrs. Doubtfire said, “He treated me like I’d been there forever. Joked with me every day like we were old friends.”
Robin never talked about it. Others did—after he was gone.
In the late 1980s, after a stand-up show in New York, Robin slipped into a shelter alone. No cameras. He brought pizza, sat on the floor, and listened. One man said later, “He didn’t ask about our mistakes. He asked what made us laugh as kids.”
During Good Will Hunting, he again asked the studio to hire from shelters. One man saved enough to rent an apartment. Robin bought him a suit for job interviews. “Everyone deserves a second act,” he said.
Shelters later discovered large anonymous donations. One Los Angeles shelter only learned the truth when a thank-you letter came back marked “no such address.” A worker recognized the handwriting.
Whoopi Goldberg once said, “He didn’t want applause for helping. He wanted action.”
While filming Patch Adams, Robin visited a shelter in West Virginia carrying boxes of socks, gloves, and coats. When asked why, he smiled and said, “The weather’s turning. Cold doesn’t care if you’re tired.”
Even on tour, he’d walk streets at dawn, handing out coffee and sandwiches. When a guard asked why, Robin replied, “Because this is where people are.”
Robin Williams didn’t perform kindness.
He practiced it—quietly, consistently, without witnesses.
And that may be the greatest role he ever played.

Our brain is our most important organ, and just like the rest of the body, it requires the right care to function optimally. Boosting brain health can be as simple as making small adjustments to your daily habits. Travel, for example, expands your brain by exposing you to new cultures, experiences, and learning opportunities. Laughing uplifts the brain, releasing those feel-good endorphins that improve mood and reduce stress.
Music has a powerful influence on the brain, enhancing cognitive functions and improving memory. Hugging a loved one can soothe the brain, promoting emotional well-being and creating a sense of calm. Meditation and natural food also play an important role in calming the mind and fueling the brain for peak performance. These practices nourish not just the body, but the mind as well.
Incorporating these simple activities into your routine can lead to long-term improvements in cognitive function and mental health. Make a conscious effort to nurture your brain daily with travel, laughter, music, and mindfulness. You’ll not only feel better but also function at your highest potential. 🌍🎶
