Human Stuff

By Lisa Olivera

A newsletter that explores the spiral of aliveness: the aches, the joys, and the liminal, from a therapist/writer/human.

I always feel privileged that Lisa allows us a glimpse inside the complicated, messy and beautiful parts of being human. So many droplets of wisdom in this soothing and permission-granting newsletter.

Real Self-Care

By Pooja Lakshmin MD

Helping you feel human again

I so appreciate this real talk about real self-care, burnout and rest from someone walking their talk and sharing their stumbles along the way. Practical and inspiring, I always take something valuable away.

Recovering

By Holly Whitaker

Examining current cultural trends through the lens of addiction, recovery, alcohol, and all the other drugs like your smartphone

I love Holly's honest and always thought-provoking writing about the intersection of addiction, capitalism and gender. Her posts on navigating identity shifts and transitions are particularly nuanced and medicinal to read.

Rachael Maddox

Entering the Motherverse & writing about it for my sanity.

I love the way Rachael's writing makes me feel like I'm sitting in her house having a real conversation about motherhood, healing and being a witchy rule-breaker.
