This issue is sponsored by WHOOP, a must-have for ANY home gym. WHOOP is a health and fitness wearable that helps you manage stress, improve sleep, level up your performance, and recover more effectively. (All in one screen-free band!) You don’t have to be an athlete to benefit, but WHOOP does help me decide when to push hard and when to rest, and shows me the objective results of my hard work.

This issue is brought to you by LATHER, who finally got me into a solid skincare routine. Trust me, I resisted for years. I didn’t have the energy to use 27 different products every night, nor did I want to spend a fafillion dollars. (I had BOUNDARIES around my time and finances, okay?) Then I discovered LATHER, which met ALL my conditions. I now have a three-step routine morning and night, I can’t believe how affordable it is, and my skin looks ah-mazing.

This post contains affiliate links for Mindbloom. That means I make a commission when you sign up through my link. My first 24 ketamine treatments were paid for with my own money. I spent a full year testing their program before writing about it, because I take my endorsements and your trust seriously. XOI first began ketamine therapy for mental health in December 2019, using injections administered at a local medical clinic. In November 2023, I transitioned into at-home treatments with Mindbloom.

This issue is brought to you by WHOOP, the health wearable that helps you track and manage hidden sources of stress. It’s gratifying to see WHOOP count your afternoon cleaning session as an “activity!” You worked hard, and your heart is healthier for it. It’s also helpful to see how stressful packing and unpacking from a trip is on my body. WHOOP can pinpoint these events too, and help you better plan for them. I use my WHOOP data every day to sleep better, have more energy, and manage stress.
