If you like what you see in my full archive, please consider becoming a paid subscriber, which supports my work and offers you access to more content: In 2023 I’ll be publishing more paid subscriber-only pieces like exercise and food guides, various how-tos, and insights into the early stages of writing a book (which is what I’m doing now — it’s the year of the book proposal, baby!)
