Of the many, many things I was not prepared for when I decided to have a child, the postpartum experience is at the top of the list. I’m not talking about the sleeplessness, breastfeeding struggles, being touched out, or general terror of suddenly having a helpless little person entirely in our care; I’m talking specifically about all …
We just did the big closet migration in my house — pulling out the winter sweaters and trousers from underneath the bed, and packing away the sundresses and linen. If you’re in the process of assessing your fall wardrobe too, you’re not alone. Below, you’ll find the quintessential garments in my personal fall capsule wardrobe. Get …
A few weeks ago, we reached out to our community of subscribers to The Daily Good to see how we’re all feeling about shopping in 2023, and what we’re thinking about for the holiday season.

The only problem is, it can be challenging to find quality workout clothes that will outlast squats, sprints, and all the Saturdays (and Sundays) we’re sleeping …
The heaviness in my face had been gradually growing. I knew it was there, that something didn’t feel right, but I didn’t stop to question what it was or how it started. My body ached too. If disappointments were stones, heartbreaks were rocks, and trauma boulders, that would explain the feeling my whole body carried …
