![]() The “ Seated Meditations” section alone has over 200 sessions, with 60 sessions about stress and anxiety and 112 that clock in at under 10 minutes, making them perfect for people just wanting to chill for a few minutes. There’s even one about de-stressing during a family event, which I wish I’d had over the holidays. If you’re seeking a session with a specific purpose beyond just mindfulness, there are sleep meditations body positivity meditations ones for running, walking, and stretching and even cooking meditations. Those looking to #manifest, read on.įor what it’s worth, exploring Superhuman’s meditations was really fun. For better or worse, it’s the quintessential app example of our post-New Age, hustle-and-grind culture obsessed with manifesting, astrology, vibes, movement, and “the universe.” My trial of the app started out uneventful-we all know the Headspace vibe-and then… things got… interesting. With sessions like “Re-center Before a Big Meeting,” “Create More Money, Wealth + Opportunity,” “Stop Feeling Insecure,” and “Good Vibes While Cleaning,” Superhuman is more like scrolling your #fyp page on TikTok when the algo has figured out you’re depressed and in search of #lifehacks (you’ll have to save your demons for your next SoulCycle ride). The colorful, friendly app doesn’t feel too rooted in the history of “meditation,” the books, apps, and general aesthetic of which can sometimes feel outdated or austere (some might just say ancient or traditional) rather, Superhuman feels more like an Instagram post brought to life, or a Saturday morning pep talk from your pal between yoga and avocado toast. Hopefully we’ll get to read that long-promised memoir within the next decade.Launched in 2021 by Mimi Bouchard, Superhuman has a very specific and modern vibe. Meanwhile, as evidenced by Vice’s new doc, Caroline Calloway the person seems to be doing a whole lot better. But what’s clear is that Caroline Calloway as a concept has become something of an urban legend or a flower crown-adorned spirit, haunting the collective consciousness of status-junkie New Yorkers. Whether any of that is true, I have no idea. She tried to push someone down the stairs!” ![]() “She used to drug her cat and bring it to parties. Her name is still brought up on occasion at Brooklyn dinner parties a person I chatted with recently seethed with rage at the very thought of Calloway. Calloway denies this, saying that it was her writing that catapulted her to viral fame as a photogenic expat student at Cambridge University. Her ex-best friend Natalie Beach penned a viral essay for The Cut in which she alleged that she was responsible for ghostwriting the viral Instagram captions that had landed Calloway the lucrative book deal she later backed out of. Over the years, Calloway continued to proffer, and inspire, increasingly alarming content. “For a large part of my twenties, I really used the content that I made online to help me process my emotions and my experience of the world,” Calloway says. As she puts it, she started her Instagram account when she was 20, and wiped it clean when she was 29. She says she’s reading books, managing her mental health, and working on her writing. ![]() “Nothing new happens to me here,” Calloway says in the video, which was uploaded Thursday to Vice’s YouTube channel. Now, almost a year after Calloway’s former landlord sued her for over $40,000 in unpaid rent, a new mini documentary from Vice catches up with the 31-year-old living a quiet, relatively normal-looking life in Sarasota, Florida. For a certain subset of extremely online culture enthusiasts, Caroline Calloway, a former Instagram influencer and self-proclaimed scammer, is something of a North Star both an undeniably chaotic individual and a fascinating signifier representing the crossroads between addiction, a flawless public image, downtown party girl aspirations, and “workshops” that failed to deliver on what was advertised. ![]()
