It’s launch day eve for ’s latest book ‘Why Do I Keep Doing This?’ The Austin-based mental health advocate and licensed marriage and family therapist has leveraged social media to share mental health information worldwide through video -amassing over 30 Million views on YouTube!

In her new book she explores our common struggle and contradiction with control in ourselves and relationships, giving readers the ability to not only ask themselves ‘why do I keep doing this?’ but have the insight to find a real answer. A great read to end/begin a year.

We’re excited to share our December Issue, featuring cover star Kori Roy, aka .duke.

We initially introduced you to the Austin musician in these pages a few years ago in advance of her first time performing at ACL and it was definitely time for a deeper dive.

This year, the writer/singer/rapper/hip-hop artist was a Top Ten finalist on and the recipient of ’s Golden Buzzer!
During her run on the show Mama Duke sang all original songs, kicking things off with her consequently chart-topping ‘Feels So Good to Be You.’ Take a listen - and you’ll be looping it like we are!

We were fortunate to do the shoot in at The Balloon Museum before it moved on from Austin - a place as vibrant as Mama Duke.
If you didn’t catch The Balloon Museum while it popped up in Austin (or even if you did!), you can currently find pop-ups in Houston and Dallas where they have entirely new exhibits. Find more infomation 🎈

And, Thank You to the team!
