February is American Heart Month. This month, take a little extra time for yourself. Move your body. Rest when you need to. And remember: the heart that loves your family, shows up for your friends, and carries you through each day, that heart is worth protecting.

Ever hear a song and instantly feel transported to another time?

There's real science behind it. Music activates the hippocampus and amygdala, the parts of your brain responsible for memory and emotion. When those areas light up together, memories don't just return. They return with feeling.

That's why a single song can take you back to a wedding, a road trip, or a moment with someone you love. The melody unlocks the memory and the emotion all at once.
