🍝 Extra Sauce 🍝 017: Good News, Travel Picks & Couple's Therapy

Happy day after Cinco De Mayo! (LOL we know we’re late and sending this on Saturday - we experienced some complications on Friday. It’s very important to still get you your Extra Sauce so here we are!) Here’s what we’ve got for you today ⬇️

• More news to take your day from good to better

• 1AND1 Picks from our experts just for you

• A note from Minaa about how to foster connections in your relationships

• A new Off the Cuff episode on how to heal relationships with couple’s therapist Mac Stanley Cazeau

• Dillon, a middle schooler at Carter Middle School outside of Detroit, sprung into action after noticing their bus driver passed out. He went to grab the wheel to save a busload of students. His bravery and quick thinking kept everyone out of danger – what a hero! 👏 

• Cincinnati barber Vernon Jackson goes into his barbershop on his days off to offer free haircuts to kids with special needs in an environment where they’ll be comfortable. He began to do this after hearing from parents that other barbers had no patience for their kids. He’s bringing a smile to these children’s faces and making them feel accepted – that is indeed good news 💙 💈 

• A 16-year-old high school senior who graduated two years early, Dennis Barnes, has been offered admission to more than 170 colleges with more than $9 million in scholarships. He doesn’t know where he wants to go just yet, but the sky is the limit for this young man, and we know he’ll excel anywhere 🏫 

This week our team has some picks for you to try while you’re on the road. Our experts have selected a gym bag to hold your clothes and gym necessities, a pad to help you with your balance and increase your agility, and slide discs to take with you on the go or to use at home for body-weight training.

Discover the power of self-care and community care with Minaa B., 1AND1's Chief Behavioral Officer and licensed therapist, as she shares actionable tips in "Minaa's Minute" each week — check it out below!

Join Danny LoPriore in this week’s episode of Off the Cuff as he talks with Mac Stanley Cazeau, LHMC, owner and operator of Therapy is For Everyone Counseling.

It’s easy to walk out of a relationship, and very few manage to work on them, but Mac gives advice that might help change the way we think about relationships so we can be better for not only our partners, but for ourselves.

This is an episode you don’t want to miss, especially if you are married or in a serious relationship! Tune in to hear this enlightening conversation.
