Like a Lion(ess)
In like a lion, out like a lamb, March is famously known as the month of transitions. We’re emerging out of our cocoon of cold inboxes and self-doubt and running towards a much warmer (busy) season full of possibilities.
If you’re feeling a little sheepish about the future, we’re here to help you silence the lamb and let your inner lion(ess) roar.
Grab your cone bra and get ready to vogue—Madonna is back and hitting the stage for the Celebration Tour! Performing her biggest hits from the last four decades, the O.G. of pop superstardom is making us blush and dance our asses off all over again.
The North American leg of the tour kicked off almost six months late due to a major health scare, from which Madonna still seems to be recovering (there are fewer signature dance breaks). Whether soaring over the crowd during “Ray of Light” or giving us the feels with a poignant performance of “Live to Tell,” there’s no denying that she’s still owning her place in entertainment herstory.
Do the festivities of St. Patrick’s Day have you low-key obsessed with all things Irish? Grab yourself a tall pint of Guinness and settle in to watch the hilarious cult hit Derry Girls on Netflix.
Derry Girls tells the story of five spirited teenagers from Northern Ireland trying to navigate their country's political conflict and the much scarier reality of being a teenage girl in the 1990s. Full disclosure: their accents will have you turning on the close captioning from time to time, but it’s totally “fecking” worth it.
The Guggenheim is synonymous with iconic New York museums. Designed by architect Frank Lloyd Wright, the building itself is considered a piece of art. With its wholly unique façade, beautiful rotunda, and continuous spiral staircase, the museum is one of the most impressive buildings in the world.
The current exhibition, Going Dark: The Contemporary Figure at the Edge of Visibility, features over 100 works by 28 under-represented artists, including women and artists of color. Each thought-provoking piece challenges the traditional art formula by intentionally obscuring the view of the subject in some way.

When it comes to a big transition in life or business, it’s normal to experience butterflies in our stomachs so powerful they drown out our gut instinct, leaving us feeling like a trapped animal.
These fear-filled feelings can make us lose our c-c-courage and forget how to Slaughter that Lamb of fear and doubt and release our inner lion. Need a little help channeling your killer instinct? Read this classic Letter from the Editor to get roaring again in no time.
March is Women’s History Month—the perfect time to celebrate all the ladies who have paved paths and broken down barriers. The Smithsonian American Women’s History Museum is doing just that with its interactive digital exhibition “Becoming Visible.”
This important initiative showcases the incredible stories of five remarkable women in easily digestible segments, making it a fun way to engage the teens and tweens in your life. The exhibition, along with the Museum itself, sheds light on the harsh fact that women’s contribution to American history is often overlooked, and we have a responsibility to change that sh*t.
Enjoying a good old-fashioned road trip with the fam this Spring Break? Give your eyes a rest from all that sightseeing, and listen to Family Trips with the Myers Brothers.

Don’t forget to stick around to the end for Josh’s hilarious recap parody song.
