The latest in workplace mental health, resources, and relatable stories for the burnt out and languishing.

Hi fam,

Before we dive in, I have a favor to ask and an offer to give 😉 

Each week I get to spend time doing what I absolutely love - scouring the internet for the latest and greatest in culture, mental health, and work. It is by far the best part of an otherwise grueling work week and knowing I get to send to your inboxes makes it that much better. It would mean so much if you could share this labor of love with 1 person. It could be your best friend, your sister, your partner, or your frenemy. Anyone you know who is navigating this so-called life against all odds. We are here* for you, for them, for everyone! Let’s change minds together, shall we?

AND for each person your refer, you’ll receive a 25% discount code for our online store - stocked fresh with products that meet that fine balance between minimalist design and existential dread.

AND AND if you fill out this quick 6 question survey, I’ll send you a free shipping code personally myself.

Alright now on to our regularly scheduled programming 😗 

If happiness eludes you, you’re not alone.

The 2025 World Happiness Report is out, and one takeaway is clear: young Americans are unhappier than ever.

The usual culprits are likely to blame: loneliness, job burnout, economic anxiety, mental health crises, and the amplified pressure of online comparison. But the bigger issue here isn’t individual struggles—it's structural. Young Americans aren’t failing at happiness; the conditions they're navigating are failing them.

The single most important factor driving happiness, according to the report, is social support. It’s not wealth, productivity, or achievements—it’s connection. Knowing someone genuinely has your back matters more profoundly than ever.

A few things you can do:

When young people struggle, it's a signal: something is off-balance. We don't just deserve to feel better—we need a society that makes that possible.

Mental health and work are ever-evolving (it’s exhausting). here* is the latest.

There are only 24 hours in the day. here* are your weekly wellness shortcuts.

Things we’re loving atm.

That’s all for this week. We’ll be back in your inbox next Monday. Until then, you know the drill. Share this newsletter far and wide. Our collective mental health depends on it 😉
