This Week on "Workaholics"...

This past year has been an incredible learning journey, one of exploration, refinement, and growth. With Quyet, I went through more than 10 prototypes before we finally reached the version that felt truly right. Along the way, dozens of colors came and went, but the olive green instantly stood out. It became my coup de cœur: a calm yet characterful tone that feels just right for this season.

It’s a color that brings warmth and depth to any space, from festive dinner tables (ideally phone-free, with or without the kids, with or without friends) to meeting rooms and offices that could use a little brightness during the winter months.

As we head into the colder months (my personal favorite time of the year!), I hope this new piece adds a touch of coziness and connection to your everyday moments.

Episode 2 Season 2: “Our teenagers are walking around with a jet lag” — Marie Loop on screen addiction and healthy screen time.

• Teenagers are vulnerable, but also incredibly resilient. Yes, their brains are still developing and easily overstimulated by screens. But with the right balance of structure and trust, they can bounce back and grow stronger than we expect.

• Building “mental capital” is about skills, not limits. It’s not just about cutting screen time, it’s about teaching focus, calm, and self-regulation. When teens learn how to manage attention and emotion, they gain tools for life.

• We have to model what we hope to see. Teens learn from what we do, not just what we say. So putting down our own phones, slowing down, and being present might be the best lesson we can give them.
