BUSINESS: SAKARA LIFE WANTS TO BECOME MORE THAN MEAL DELIVERY
Since its launch as a meal delivery service in 2011, Sakara Life has grown alongside the mainstreaming of wellness culture. Following a $15 million Series B round in 2021, the company expanded beyond meal delivery to include supplements, a podcast, and most recently, the Sakara Experience - a comprehensive wellness program combining meals, education, and community engagement. According to CMO Tierney Wilson, while the company maintains its core focus on plant-based nutrition, it has evolved to address broader wellness demands including stress management, sleep, and weight management. With over 1,500 subscribers to its new Experience program, primarily women aged 35-65, Sakara Life exemplifies how wellness has transformed from a niche market into a holistic lifestyle movement encompassing physical, mental, and emotional health.

WELLNESS: THERE’S A BETTER WAY TO WALK FOR EXERCISE
Walking is great yes, especially considering the growing sedentary lifestyle in the states, but there’s a proper walking technique. It involves maintaining good posture, engaging the core, swinging your arms naturally, and keeping your eyes focused 10-20ft ahead while maintaining a pace that allows for conversation but creates slight breathlessness. The accessibility of walking, low impact nature, and customizable intensity make it an ideal exercise for physical and mental health benefits, even for things like anxiety since it forces you to slow down but struggle a bit with consistency.

WORK LIFE: CAPACITIES, THE DO-IT-ALL PRODUCTIVITY APP
Capacities, a rising productivity app, offers a new take on digital organization while maintaining familiar elements of popular tools like Notion. While superficially similar to Notion's block-based interface, Capacities distinguishes itself through its object-oriented approach to information management, where users create interconnected "objects" (pages, people, projects, etc.) rather than traditional hierarchical structures. Available across multiple platforms and serving about 120,000 users, the app emphasizes frictionless organization with automatic backlinks and focuses exclusively on individual users rather than teams. With a freemium model and optional AI features, Capacities aims to minimize organizational overhead while maintaining the flexibility of more complex productivity tools.

ON CLARITY: Having a clear mind and a clear space allows you to think and act with purpose. — Erika Oppenheimer

Mental clarity and an organized physical environment work together to enable focused, intentional decision-making and action, rather than reacting chaotically or impulsively. Your space is truly a reflection of whats going on with you, so your mind being clear works in a parallel to your space being clear as well.
