To all the teachers beginning another school year: May you feel the meaning in the work you do, while remembering to leave enough room for your own rest outside of the classroom.
"As you, my fellow educators, gear up for a new school year, here is the number one thing I learned in all my years of teaching: What matters most is you. Your well-being is the source from which everything else flows."
"Knowing what’s in my daughter’s clothing gives me peace of mind and helps me feel confident that I’m making safer, healthier choices for her growing body."

📝 A good question: If you had 5k to spend on you and you alone — your own care, pleasure, and passions — how would you spend it?
Our next virtual meet-up is on Wednesday, September 23rd at 10 a.m. PT — We’ll be chatting with our editor Kate, whose article about doing a low-spend month inspired many rich reader conversations we can’t wait to dive into. Join us for a guided meditation and community discussion, plus a financial roundtable where we share our tips on making the most of our budgets. We can’t wait to see you!

"I recently downloaded the Mob app to help me with my long-established aversion to making dinner, and I have to say I'm impressed. Instead of a single boring batch cook to use all week, this app includes variations on each batch, so you can enjoy benefits of meal prep and without sacrificing variety." [Check it out]
A Reader Comment We Love:
"Thank you, Kate for this essay! So poignant and beautiful, and I truly felt held and helped by it. As someone who is hyper-independent (which was born out of a means to 'find myself'), I often struggle with letting myself sit with the familiar and the calm instead of always seeking out something new. I’ve been actively resisting the urge to run away when things start to feel calm. This piece really helped me solidify that. I want a life full of community AND adventure!"
