Ending Q3 with a bang 💥: I can't think of a better way to honor @hellomortal_ 's, 1-year anniversary on @substack than becoming a bestseller! Each week, we write about how to live well in the face of impermanence, and I'm deeply grateful to our editor, Carolyn Gregoire, and everyone who has shown up with curiosity and support for our work. When I first told people I was investing in content about death, I got a lot of pushback. But this milestone is proof that there's demand for thoughtful, intimate conversations about mortality—and we're just getting started. If you're not yet familiar, I'd love for you to check us out and subscribe to receive our weekly Sunday contemplations.

Problem-solving is a trap. This week, @hellomortal_ offers a way out. open.substack.com/pub/hellom…

Everything’s changing, nothing feels normal, and your sink is still full of dishes. This week’s @hellomortal_ is about existential dread, the absurdity of being alive right now, and what to do about it. Join us. Read it. You don’t have to spiral alone.

It’s Sunday. You know what time it is…⚰️+☕️ Time to pause and reflect. To remember: one day, you’re gonna die. And that’s not morbid—it’s sacred. Every Sunday, at @hellomortal_ , we mark this moment with a little ritual: contemplating death over coffee. A modern memento mori. A reminder of death. A recommitment to life. This Sunday’s contemplation: Have you been feeling stuck lately? In a job, in a relationship, in a creative slump? Death contemplation might just be the answer you've been looking for. → Read the full contemplation and join the conversation The link is in the comments.
