2023 is a time to leave 2022 in the rearview mirror and begin again, and that is what many Americans are hoping to do. Nearly 4 in 5 (78%) are trying to set healthy boundaries in 2023.
The top interpersonal New Year’s resolutions is prioritizing self-care, saying no, making time for self, spending time with others, and limiting time on social media.
Other resolutions Americans are setting for 2023 focus on mental health. 1 in 4 (24%) are planning to skip or leave commitments earlier in the new year, and 1 in 6 (16%) are not planning to work overtime or off the clock.
Some are turning to others for help with nearly 1 in 3 (32%) planning to go to therapy in 2023. 38% women compared to 24% men are planning to do that. Generation-wise, younger generations are turning to therapy the most. 40% of Gen Zers and 35% of Millennials are planning to get therapy in 2023. Separately, only 26% of Gen Xers are planning on it and 15% of Baby Boomers are looking into it.
The new year is a time to start over. If you are feeling boxed into doing things you do not want to do, do not continue the cycle. Now more than ever is the time to prioritize your mental health and your happiness. At the end of the day, that’s what is the important.

While the real estate market seems to be cooling a bit, skyrocketing mortgage rates are driving affordability to the lowest level since the 1980s. Americans are taking notice and realizing their dream home may never be in the cards. I wanted to make sure you saw the report I sent last week on American’s dream homes.
More than 1,000 Americans across each generation were surveyed. The study found 90% believe owning a home is part of the American dream but 51% say it isn’t attainable.
Still, renters are hopeful they will get into a home soon. The report includes generational insights on what people are looking for in their ideal home and how many wish to own a vacation home.
If you close your eyes and picture your dream home, does it look similar to where you’re currently living?
For the overwhelming majority, that dream home is just a dream.
IPX1031 surveyed more than 1,000 Americans across each generation about their dream homes. 94% said they are not currently living in their dream home, with the top reason being they cannot afford it.
What would those dream homes look like? Where are the dream homes located? How much would the dream homes cost?
The study found… – Modern was the top architecture and interior design style – 57% prefer new construction over renovating a home – 35% want four beds – 38% want 3 baths
The most desired dream home features… 1. A view 2. Big backyard 3. A Large family room 4. Front porch
The top luxury amenities people are looking for are land and privacy (59%), a hobby room (48%), and a home theater (42%).
51% said their dream home is out of reach, with half of millennials estimating their dream home would cost between $500,000 to over a million dollars.

New Year’s Eve is only days away but what is on the drink menu? Millennials are great consumers for alcohol corporations, distinguishing their varying tastes and preferences. In fact, millennials make up 30% of the total consumer product dollars that will be spent by 2020 because there are 77 million millennials ( and growing). What do millennials value? They value experience and authenticity; and when purchasing alcohol, it is no different. Additionally, they research brands online, read blog recommendations and taste test in-store to make the best decisions for their taste buds.
Millennials 21-34 represent about one-fourth of adults 21 and over, but they account for 35% of U.S. beer consumption and 32% of spirit consumption. Comparatively, they represent only 20% of wine consumption. Bottom line: they are open to trying different types of alcohol and exploring unique settings for an interesting customer experience.

“Mindsail aims to discuss a growing range of mental wellness issues that prevent many of us from moving forward in our lives. We want to redefine the way people approach personal growth by taking away the stigma and barriers that surround most self-help methods” said co-founder and COO Elyse Colen.
The self-help industry is a $10B market in the U.S. alone, as most self-help options are very expensive. “Self-help is tied to an idea that you’re damaged or weak. The reality is that everyone can improve in some aspect of their life. Many people feel held back by emotions they either can’t express to friends or co-workers, or they can’t find solutions to overcome them,” said co-founder and CEO Lauren Wallack. “We want to flip the self-help industry on its head and offer a self-serve platform to feed your appetite for personal growth.”
When using the Mindsail app, users have access to dozens of mental wellness sources, choosing the content that resonates most with the user, for a fraction of the price.

The company wants to get users emotionally fit the same way fitness apps and technology have opened us up to improving our physical health and wellness.
Having seen the way technology has transformed almost every other industry from retail to media, the founders knew there had to be a better way for people to seek personal growth options. “We’ve seen so many of our friends and peers struggling with the same issues – they want to find more meaning in their jobs, they want to have better relationships or simply be happier” said Colen. “Through technology, we’re now able to offer unprecedented direct access to new perspectives and tools that can transform your life, without being mediated by a middleman.” Here are some of the many features Mindsail as has to offer:
