(NEW YORK) — Lindsay Arnold is busier than ever as she gets ready to welcome baby No. 2.
The former Dancing with the Stars pro-turned businesswoman founded her own workout program, “The Movement Club,” in 2020.
Below, Arnold shares details on her wellness routine and motherhood.
What does wellness mean to you?
To me, wellness means finding balance in my life and making sure I’m focusing just as much on my physical well-being as I am on my mental well-being.
How has your wellness routine changed since becoming a mom?
Naturally since becoming a mother, my wellness routine has changed drastically. There’s definitely a lot less time for yourself when you are a mom. But that’s where I feel like my wellness routine has been a lot more intentional.
I am so intentional about the time that I do have for myself, and making sure that I give myself at least five minutes every day to do something just for me.
We’re not doing our long skin care routines anymore, but we do what we can. And I think the biggest thing that my routine has changed is just really being able to focus on having that work and home life balance.
Why did you create The Movement Club?
I created The Movement Club because I wanted to create a workout program that meets women where they’re at.
I wanted a program that literally is for everyone and anyone, whether you’re at the top of your fitness game, you’ve never worked out a day in your life, you’re pregnant or postnatal.
I just wanted you to feel like you had a place where there was something for you. And that is exactly what this program is all about: meeting people where they’re at in their journey.
Really, the mentality was just to give every woman something that they could feel that they can be a part of.
How do you juggle work and being a mom?
Juggling work life and mom life can be very tough. And I would say most days, I definitely don’t nail it. But I feel like the biggest thing for me and the biggest tidbit of advice that I can give is making sure that when you’re working, you give it your all, and when you come home, let yourself be home.
What advice do you have for other parents?
If there’s anything I’ve learned in my parenting journey so far it’s to enjoy every little moment, even the ones that are tough and you’re like, “Geez, I don’t know how we’re ever gonna get out of this stage.”
Just enjoy it as you go. Because there will be a day you’ll miss those sleepless nights and long for your baby to be that cuddly, needy baby. So I would just say enjoy it.
Going into his new album, Bluebird Days, Jordan Davis had a very definitive vision for what he wanted it to be.
“The main thing, I wanted it to be the most honest record or collection of songs that I’ve ever put out,” he reveals. “You get songs like ‘Short Fuse,’ ‘Bluebird Days,’ ‘Money Isn’t Real,’ you know, those kinda heavier songs.”
He also wanted to touch on the past, the present and what life will look like in the future.
Davis explains how that plays out on the album: “You know, the past being songs like ‘What I Wouldn’t Do,’ ‘Sunday Saints,’ ‘You’ve Got My Number,’ to kinda present songs. I would throw ‘Money Isn’t Real’ in there, ‘What My World Spins Around,’ ‘Buy Dirt,’ ‘Next Thing You Know.'”
“And then the future songs,” he continues, “like ‘Part of It,’ ‘Fishing Spot,’ which is kind of about my grandpa and how I spend time with him now. So those were kinda the tentpoles of what I wanted it to be.”
Of course, a couple of those tentpoles, namely “Buy Dirt” and “What My Worlds Spins Around,” have already gone to #1. “Next Thing You Know” is Jordan’s new single.
Though he first topped the chart with 2017’s “Singles You Up,” Bluebird Days is only Jordan’s second full-length album, following 2018’s Home State and a couple of EPs.
The Postal Service‘s first and only album, Give Up, is turning 20.
Released on February 19, 2003, Give Up showcased the combined sounds of Death Cab for Cutie frontman Ben Gibbard and electronic artist Jimmy Tamborello, as well as backing vocals from Rilo Kiley‘s Jenny Lewis. A slow-building success, Give Up wouldn’t break out until 2004 and was eventually certified Platinum by the RIAA in 2012 on its way to becoming second to only Nirvana‘s Bleach as the bestselling album put out by the Sub Pop record label.
Much of Give Up‘s journey to the mainstream was driven by the single “Such Great Heights,” which became The Postal Service’s signature song. It was featured in a variety of TV shows and commercials, and was memorably covered by Iron & Wine for the Garden State soundtrack.
In addition to reaching the ears of indie and pop fans alike, The Postal Service grabbed the attention of the United States Postal Service, which, as The New York Times reported, hit the band with a cease-and-desist letter. Eventually, the two Postal Services came to an agreement that allowed the band to keep their name in exchange for USPS getting to use their music.
While the success of Give Up grew, the Postal Service members continued with their separate projects, and a second album never materialized. They reunited in 2013 for a tour celebrating the 10th anniversary of Give Up and then in 2020 for a video to encourage voting in the upcoming U.S. presidential election.
The Postal Service will hit the road again this fall to celebrate Give Up‘s 20th anniversary. The tour will be co-headlined by Death Cab for Cutie, who will be marking the 20th anniversary of their 2003 album, Transatlanticism.
Linkin Park‘s unearthed new song “Lost” may bring the band back to the Billboard Hot 100 for the first time in six years.
Billboard reports that “Lost” is on pace for a “likely debut” on the all-genre ranking, which the “Numb” rockers haven’t appeared on since 2017 with their Kiiara collaboration, “Heavy.”
“Lost,” which premiered last Friday, dates back to the sessions for LP’s 2003 album, Meteora, and features lead vocals by the late Chester Bennington. In addition to its own possible chart feats, “Lost” has resulted in extra attention for Meteora. According to Billboard, Meteora saw a 32 percent increase in U.S. streams on the day “Lost” was released.
“Lost” will be included in the upcoming 20th anniversary reissue of Meteora, due out April 7.
In other chart news, Red Hot Chili Peppers have matched a Billboard record previously set by Foo Fighters. The “Californication” rockers are now tied with Dave Grohl and company with 28 top-10 singles on the Alternative Airplay chart, the most in the history of the 34-year-old ranking.
The song that brought the Peps even with the Foos is “The Drummer,” a cut off the former’s 2022 Return of the Dream Canteen album.
Pink‘s ninth studio album, TRUSTFALL, is finally here, but the singer reveals she was once told she’d never get this far in her career if she started a family.
“Having a family was really important to me,” Pink told Apple Music 1’s Zane Lowe. “Just doing music wasn’t enough for me. I was lonely. I was so lonely. It’s a very lonely business.”
She continued, “Everyone told me, ‘If you have children right now, your career’s over.'” Fans know how well she took that advice. The singer recently celebrated her 17th anniversary with husband Carey Hart, with whom she shares two children: 11-year-old Willow and 6-year-old Jameson.
Pink believes having a family enhanced her career. She reflected on how people used to judge her based on past fiery singles, which she says caused some to view her as “the snarling, man-eating angry she-man.”
“Obviously we’re all much more complex than any of that,” she said. “But when I had a child, I think it softened me to the world, the part that didn’t understand me.”
She continued, “I think that’s when my career began, really. I did a lot of stuff before that, but really, truly, I think it’s when I started to really understand myself and understand the world, and my place in it.”
That willingness to take a gamble on her career to have a family has paid off for Pink. “Sitting with a guitar is one of my favorite things I’ll ever do, but cuddling with my babies and taking them camping and being dirty for three days is also one of the coolest things I’ll ever do,” she said.
Pink also joked, “Making wine also happens to be pretty cool.”
TRUSTFALL is available to stream and purchase now.
Wednesday marked the return of the Hulu series Wu-Tang: An American Saga. The show chronicles the formation and rise of the rap group Wu-Tang Clan, but it’s not the first time the group’s story has been told.
Alex Tse was recruited to help RZA executive produce the show, which is the first time the Wu’s journey has been shared via a scripted series. He says he didn’t feel pressure bringing the show to life in this format, as he had The Abbot by his side.
“RZA made it really easy for me, made me feel very comfortable,” he tells ABC Audio. “I came at it as a fan. Huge fan … so it was … an honor and a privilege,” he says, noting he was “ready to embrace the challenge. I had a great partner on it that had his own Hollywood career and understood everything about the process.”
This season of An American Saga is the third and final one of the series. It sees the group following the release of their debut album and captures the members working toward their solo albums. As a story spanning several years, the series is only a fraction of Wu’s entire journey, but RZA says they made sure to narrow it down and include the “nutrients.”
“Me, Alex and the team of writers, we were able to hear the big story … as some of the guys will call in or I’ll give stories or we’ll research. But being able to then narrow that down to the nutrients … And then put it to the 10 episodes of the third season, I think we did a great job with that.”
He describes the season as “super dope,” while Alex says it’s “risk-taking.” (AUDIO IS ABC 1-ON-1)
Yoko Ono turns 90 on Saturday, and in honor of her big day, she wants you to share your wishes with her.
Since 1996, Yoko has been collecting wishes through Wish Tree art installations, so far collecting close to 2 million wishes from installations in over 35 countries. When she first launched her Wish Tree project she instructed fans: “Make a wish. Write it down on a piece of paper. Fold it and tie it around a branch of a Wish Tree. Ask your friend to do the same. Keep Wishing. Until the branches are covered with wishes.”
Now the Wish Tree is going virtual, with Yoko’s son Sean Ono Lennon launching a Wish Tree website where people can share their wishes online. The site will go live on Saturday in honor of Yoko’s big birthday, and fans will also be able to plant trees in the singer’s honor, thanks to the organization One Tree Planted.
According to the announcement on Yoko’s Instagram page, “We hope to gather as many wishes and plant as many trees as possible to honor this incredible woman.”
Milo Ventimiglia is back on TV with The Company You Keep — his first post-This Is Us project, which debuts Sunday night on ABC.
Ventimiglia plays a con artist who might be falling for a CIA agent, and he tells ABC Audio the show shares some DNA with a few other popular movies and shows, but with a twist.
“There’s Out of Sight, there’s Ocean’s 11, The Italian Jobs, with a little bit of like kind of Americans spun in there, but I think the goal of what we’ve really wanted to do, and this is also part of the ethos I think on set, is like, have fun, enjoy ourselves,” he explains. “You know, this is entertainment. This is something we want people to turn on for an hour of, you know, appointment television to be like, ‘Wow, I had a great time. Cool. And I can get back to my life and look forward to next week.'”
Ventimiglia jumped at the chance to do another show on broadcast TV, sharing that he’s “kind of a product of broadcast.”
“I’ve done a lot of broadcast in my career, and I think for the hard charge into cable, streaming, superhero type roles, whatever, there’s something very comforting [about being] on every television in the country and extend beyond that,” he says.
Catherine Haena Kim, who plays the CIA agent, agrees there’s “something so iconic about broadcast” because “it’s the way that we all grew up watching TV.”
“There’s such like an intentionality about it when you know you have to be home at a specific time. Like most people don’t do that anymore,” she shares. “But there’s something so special when you get so excited about a show that you want to tune in 10 p.m. nine Central on Sundays.”
(RALEIGH, N.C.) — The family of Darryl Tyree Williams calls for manslaughter charges against the six Raleigh police officers involved in the fatal encounter. Williams died after being shocked several times by a Taser used by North Carolina officers on January 17th.
William’s mother, Sonya Williams, called for accountability, “I am the mother of Darryl Tyree Williams. That was my first-born. That was my only son.”
“He shouldn’t be dead and I want justice,” she said.
On Thursday, Williams family attorney Ben Crump held a joint press conference with Dawn Blagrove, executive director of emancipate NC, an organization focused on individuals affected by structural racism, demanding that the Raleigh officers be fired and charged immediately.
CCTV video obtained by police in their investigation appears to show that the encounter began as an officer conducted a “proactive patrol” in an area authorities said is notorious for drug use. Authorities say, when searching Williams, the officer found a folded dollar bill in his pocket which authorities say contained a powdery substance. He then asked Williams to exit his car. Seconds later, the officer arrested him without giving Williams a reason for either order.
A spokesman for the Raleigh Police Department declined to comment when asked by ABC News whether the officer violated departmental policy in his interactions with Williams when asking him to step out of the car and the subsequent arrest.
According to Raleigh police, upon approaching Williams’ car and opening the passenger side door, where a companion of Williams was sitting, the officer saw marijuana and an open container of alcohol. But, in the footage, the officer did not mention the drugs when asking Williams and the passenger to exit the vehicle.
The officer tried to arrest Williams for what police later said was for possession of a controlled substance, but Willams attempted to flee. Despite telling the officers he had been dealing with heart problems, the video shows Williams was shocked several times with a Taser.
After Williams was placed in handcuffs, officers called to dispatch for EMS. Noticing that Williams was unresponsive, they attempted to resuscitate him before EMS arrived. About an hour later, Williams was pronounced dead at the hospital, according to a report by Police Chief Estella Patterson released days later.
An autopsy report and a toxicology report are pending according to investigators.
Blagrove chastised Wake County District Attorney Lorrin Freeman, for what she called her lack of urgency in this matter. Instead, Blagrove is asking that the case be handed to an independent prosecutor.
“If you cannot do the job, get out of the way and let someone else do it,” she said.
AG Freeman has deferred to North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation’s ongoing probe for further comment on the case.
Williams’ death came only seven days after the death of Tyre Nichols, who died after a beating by five Memphis police officers who have since been fired and charged with second-degree murder.
The police officers involved in the Williams arrest are currently on administrative leave. The Raleigh Police Protective Association is representing CD Robinson and BL Ramge, two of the six officers placed on administrative leave. The other officers have declined to comment.
“We are here today because of systemic and institutional racism that runs rampant through the city of Raleigh. Now is the moment for us to stand together and to fight back against that institutional racism,” said Blagrove.
Co-counsel and attorney Kenneth Abbarno said, “The video gives us a wonderful opportunity to deal in the land of unrefuted fact. Nobody can accuse this legal team of making up any facts.”
The Williams family and their lawyers are confident that the security footage will speak for itself. They are asking for “swift” action in charging the officers involved.
“Thank god for video,” Crump said. “It was the private owner surveillance video here in Raleigh that captured every act, every step, every deed of those police officers.”
