Happy April, Maavee Community! We’re not going to tell you kale is the new cake or try to convince you that a 3-minute cold plunge will make you immortal. (Though, to be fair
 it might help. 😉) Yes, it’s April Fool’s Day, but around here we’re serious about one thing: your wellness—inside and out.

This month is full of reminders that your actions matter—not just for your well-being, but for the collective. Every mindful choice you make—for your body, your purpose, or the planet—creates ripple effects far beyond you.

So let’s move with intention, root into what matters, and grow toward something greater. We’re with you every step of the way.

Enjoy and be well,
Frank

Do not wait for extraordinary circumstances to do good; try to use ordinary situations.

Jean Paul was the pen name of Johann Paul Friedrich Richter (1763–1825), a German Romantic writer and philosopher known for his wit, warmth, and insight into human nature. He was widely respected during his lifetime and influenced literary figures like Goethe and E.T.A. Hoffmann.

Wholly you! đŸ«” 

Well-being isn’t one thing—it’s everything that makes you feel grounded, energized, connected, and alive. Here are some seeds you can plant this month—and let them grow.

Mental wellness isn’t a luxury—it’s foundational. Coaching and counseling are powerful tools that help us better understand our thoughts, regulate emotions, navigate transitions, and strengthen our resilience.

Whether you’re working through something hard or reaching for something bold, having a trusted guide by your side can change everything. You deserve support—not just when things fall apart, but while you’re building something better.

Explore Maavee Coaches in the app—fitness, nutrition, cancer care, career growth, and more. Or check out Calmerry for professional online therapy and Therapy Notebooks to help you keep growing between sessions.

And if things really fall apart, we have a book for that: When Things Fall Apart by Pema Chödrön on The Bookshelf.

Stress is linked to nearly every chronic condition—and how we cope matters. Alcohol is a common reflex, but more people—especially younger generations—are exploring alcohol-free living to reclaim energy, sleep, and mental clarity.

Consider giving your body a break this Alcohol Awareness Month. Whether it’s a week, a month, or just the next Friday night, your body will thank you for choosing a cocktail break.

Try Kin Euphorics, formulated for calm and clarity without the booze.

Question: Want gym and studio access?

It’s National Move More Month, and we're working on something BIG to get the world moving. Would you dig it if Maavee offered access to thousands of gyms and studios as a subscription service?

Speaking of moving, consider kicking some ^%$ with FightCamp, jumping your ^%$ with Crossrope, and moving your ^%$ with Aaptiv. đŸ˜‰

Gardening and volunteering are more than feel-good hobbies—they’re wellness practices. Plants lower cortisol and raise serotonin. Giving back creates a sense of purpose, which fuels long-term happiness and meaning.

Tend to something. Whether it’s a basil plant, a community garden, or your own inner growth, the act of nurturing has ripple effects far beyond the soil.

Celebrate National Garden Month and awaken your inner biophiliac with Gardyn, Growmeo, and Grounded.


Mark your calendar for National Volunteer Week (April 21–27). If you can’t take time off to give back, try giving in other ways—like becoming a volunteer with Be My Eyes, where you can lend your sight to the blind for just a few minutes at a time. Small acts, big impact.

As we shift from traditional financial systems to new forms of value, understanding is everything. Bitcoin and decentralized finance may sound intimidating, but they’re not fringe anymore—they’re becoming foundational. And younger generations? They’re already leaning in, asking smart questions, and preparing for a different financial future.

Wellness isn’t just physical—it’s financial, too. Learning how emerging systems work helps you take control of your choices, reduce financial stress, and build a future on your terms.

A great place to start: The Bitcoin Standard by Saifedean Ammous, featured on the Maavee Bookshelf. This isn’t just a crypto book—it’s a sweeping history of money, from seashells and gold to central banks and digital currencies. It asks important questions: What gives money value? What happens when we outsource control of it? And what could it look like to reclaim financial sovereignty?

This is our Pick of the Month on The Bookshelf. We love it because it doesn’t tell you what to think—it helps you think more clearly about what money actually is. And that’s where empowerment begins.

Our environments shape our output. A cluttered space creates cognitive overload, while a streamlined one invites calm, clarity, and creativity.

Use this spring energy to clean up your workday. Audit your habits. Protect your energy. Reclaim your rhythm.

Declutter your digital life and organize your work environment with Native Union Stow Lite Organizer, Branch Furniture Small Filing Cabinet, Native Union Snap 3-in-1 Wireless Charger, and the Fluidstance Slope.

Our health and the planet’s health are inseparable. From the air we breathe to the food we grow, every choice we make has an environmental impact. This Earth Day (April 22nd), we encourage you to take moment to recommit to caring for the planet that cares for us. Actually, why wait until April 22nd? Today’s a great day to make a change!
