#AIArtForAMovemberCause Theme: Health and Well-being in Movember Maribeth Woodford, 🚀 Robin Doris, Manny Da Silva, Alexander Esau At first glance, he’s intense, almost intimidating—the kind of character you might think has it all together, like he’s invincible or immune to the kinds of struggles we all face. But when you look closer, you start to see a different story. The scars on his face, the shadows around his eyes… it’s like they’re revealing layers beneath that tough exterior, layers of pain, resilience, maybe even loneliness. In a way, this character is a metaphor for the way so many men experience hardship. Society often expects them to be strong, unbreakable, almost like villains who can handle anything thrown their way. But the reality is, everyone has battles they’re fighting, even if they don’t show them on the surface. This image, for me, is a reminder that strength isn’t just about keeping up a hard front—it’s also about facing those hidden struggles with courage. That’s what I feel Movember is really about. It’s a movement that peels back the layers and says, “It’s okay to be vulnerable, to talk about what’s hard, to face it together.” It’s not just for the “heroes” we imagine as perfect but for everyone, including those who are fighting battles in silence. This image, in all its intensity and rawness, is my way of saying that the Movember movement isn’t just for the “strong”—it’s for anyone who’s carrying scars, visible or invisible. I definitely encourage you all to participate, as well: https://lnkd.in/dFKtTW4v

Over the last century, life expectancy has doubled. What is behind this? Advancements in healthcare, food regulation, crime prevention, and water safety have all contributed to a decline in infant mortality and an improvement in people's health. Together, this has led to humans living longer, healthier lives. Zooming out. HICs have been, and will continue to, lead this trend. To ensure that life expectancy increases are equal across the world, we need to address the problems that hold back life expectancy in LICs. The sooner, the better. However, in the long term, we may eventually reach a plateau, where life expectancy can no longer increase. #LifeExpectancy #Healthcare #Longevity #Health

Post-event recovery by an event prof 💊💤    We all have our ways of resting after a big project comes to a close. Events are unique in that the closing of a project usually brings mental, emotional and physical fatigue all at once. It can be a lot to process. After a big show like the Calgary Influential Women in Business Awards, here’s how I take care of myself and bounce back during busy season.     🧘♀️ Stay in bed for a full day if time allows, stay off my feet as best I can   🧘♀️ Eat whatever I’m craving which is usually 50/50 healthy/fun  🧘♀️ Water in hand constantly  even if I don’t feel thirsty 🧘♀️ Stay in comfy, loose, non business clothes   🧘♀️ Sleep 10 hours the next night if time allows  🧘♀️ Limit use of my voice (hard to do)  and keep the house quiet 🧘♀️ Vitamin C, ginger tea, on repeat  🧘♀️ A few hot showers and all the hydrating serums (venues are so dry!!) 🧘♀️ Go for a drive if I get antsy or see a non industry friend or family if I feel like sharing a bit of celebration 🧘♀️ Integrate a workout the day after the day after the event and sink back into normalcy   What’s your go-to recovery formula?    #eventprofsrecovery
