When the season finale of "The White Lotus" airs on Sunday, viewers are expecting lots of questions to be answered: Will Gaitok confront Valentin? Does Piper still want to stay in Thailand? And of course, who is killed? Audiences will also be tuning into to find out how exactly the girls' trip storyline plays out. For the last seven episodes we've seen three childhood best friends, played by Michelle Monaghan, Leslie Bibb, and Carrie Coon, struggle to bond at this luxury resort. For anyone who has desperately tried to sustain the spark with a childhood friend, this dynamic is all too familiar. Despite growing apart, developing different values, and physically moving away from each other, childhood friends can be unexpectedly hard to let go. Why is it so challenging to call it quits with someone you talk to quarterly?

If the third season of "The White Lotus" has you thinking that it's time to plan a vacation to Thailand, you're not alone. The hit HBO series — which returned to TV screens in February — has created a surge of interest in the latest locale where its eponymous fictional hotel is set. "After the White Lotus premiere, there was a big spike up," says Kate Bodden, a spokesperson for the airfare search platform Skiplagged. "Searches to Krabi were up 50% year-over-year."

A crashing stock market is not part of an intentional strategy by President Donald Trump, White House National Economic Council director Kevin Hassett told ABC's "This Week" on Sunday. This came after Trump shared a link to a video on his social media platform, Truth Social, which claimed the president was causing the markets to plummet on purpose as part of his broader economic plans. The video, which initially appeared on TikTok in March, was shared by Trump on April 4, two days after his tariffs announcement. "Trump is crashing the stock market by 20% this month, but he's doing it on purpose. … And it could make you rich" the video said. It continued by adding that such a move by Trump would help "push cash into treasuries, which forces the Fed to slash interest rates in May. … It also weakens the dollar and drops mortgage rates. Now it's a wild chess move, but it's working."

Whether to buy cryptocurrency as a long-term holding may be the biggest decision an investor interested in digital assets has to make, but where to store crypto like bitcoin can become the most consequential. Following the wildfires earlier this year in California, social media posts began to appear with claims of bitcoin losses, with some users showing metal plates intended to protect seed phrases burnt up and illegible or describing the complexity of recovering crypto keys stored in a safety deposit box in a bank impacted by the fires. While impossible to verify individual claims about fires consuming hard drives, laptops and other storage devices containing so-called hard and cold storage crypto wallets and seed phrases, what is certain is that bitcoin self-custody presents a unique set of security issues. And those risks are growing. Holders of crypto typically use some form of what can be called a "wallet," and there are a few main features – whether that wallet is connected

In 2023, Sophia Kanavos and her mom put the Women's Power Series conference on for the first time. "We get invited to a lot of business conferences, a lot of stuff in Las Vegas, Orlando," says the 28-year-old, who works in acquisitions and development at her family's real estate company, Flag Luxury Group. "Those are upwards of $2,500 for a two-day event where probably 85% of the speakers and attendees are men." Instead, "we wanted to create a half-day conference for women in business, by women," she says. It would have various price points so women of different means could attend, and 100% of the proceeds would go to nonprofit Women of Tomorrow. Kanavos and her mom reached out to their network of businesswomen to find speakers and used a space co-owned by their company, which her mom co-founded, to stage the event.

When it comes to protecting your child's mental health, emotional resilience is key. Not only do resilient kids bounce back from disappointment, but they're also less likely to become depressed, anxious, or self-critical. As a psychologist with nearly 20 years of experience, I've seen how kids with emotional grit often have one thing in common: parents who know how to deal with their own emotions. When we show our kids that emotions aren't shameful or off-limits, we teach them that feelings aren't messy, intolerable nuisances. They're brilliant biological messengers that tell us what we need and guide us through life — just like thirst and hunger. Knowing this, kids can learn to handle conflict, disappointment, and distress with greater confidence and wisdom.

At 100 years old, Ralph Young knows quite a bit about what it takes to lead a long and happy life, even amid hardship and when faced with the unexpected. In 1943, Young, just 18 at the time, enlisted in the U.S. Navy, getting ahead of an expected draft notice, and served in World War II. "I remember my mom sitting on the front porch, tears streaming down her cheeks," he said in an interview with Dayton Daily News. "She told me, 'Everything is going to be alright, Ralph.' I knew she was going to watch over me."

It's a challenging time for many federal student loan borrowers just trying to find ways to pay off their debt. Millions of borrowers who enrolled in the Biden administration-era Saving on a Valuable Education plan are now in limbo after the program was blocked by Republican-led legal challenges. Meanwhile, the Trump administration has changed the terms on several other repayment plans.
