WELLNESS: SIGNS OF HIGH FUNCTIONING DEPRESSION AND ITS EFFECTS
High-functioning depression is a form of depression where folks dealing with it appear productive and successful on the outside, but inwardly lack sustained joy or pleasure. While able to fulfill responsibilities, those suffering from this experience changes in sleep, appetite, & concentration. High-functioning depression can increase suicide risk due to feeling isolated and thinking that no one understands you. Experts advise being vulnerable with loved ones, identifying areas of life not working, and most importantly, seeking professional therapeutic support to learn coping strategies.

LIFESTYLE: JUNE HOROSCOPES
We’re in Gemini Season, which means it's crucial to approach situations with an open, curious mindset. June's astrological forecast promises a blend of happiness and opportunities, kicking off with Mercury (in Gemini) facilitating smooth communication. A Gemini new moon also encourages new beginnings in ideas and relationships. Mid-month, Venus and Mercury (in Cancer) nurture deeper connections, while Vesta in Leo reignites passion and devotion. The Capricorn full moon prompts reevaluating life structures. Finally, Saturn's retrograde offers a chance to reflect on the life you've built.

BUSINESS: ROBINHOOD TO BUY BACK $1BILLION OF SHARES
Robinhood’s stock price suddenly flew upwards after it announced plans to repurchase up to $1 billion of its own shares. The share buyback program is expected to commence in Q3 of this year and take place over 2-3 years. Robinhood essentially aims to expand beyond its roots as a commission-free trading platform into a broader financial services company, and even recently unveiled plans for a retirement product and consumer credit card.

ON PROGRESS: You don't need to worry about progressing slowly. You need to worry about climbing the wrong mountain. - JAMES CLEAR
