The newsletters and emails that shape our perspectives.
On today’s episode, Sarah and Beth shared the books, articles, authors, and art that shaped and challenged their perspective this year. We love that you read along with us every week, and wanted to share the newsletters and emails we subscribe to and that also shape our perspectives.
Sarah’s Recommendations
The day's most fascinating news from Dave Pell, Managing Editor, Internet
I've been reading Dave Pell's newsletter for years. I find his analysis thoughtful and his intuitions good. I find some of my favorite long reads from him.
One Must-Read from the Financial Times
I love the Financial Times but often I miss some of their best features in the flow of content. I love a careful curation - read this one thing. Often I do, and I rarely regret it.
"Gloria is the modern media brand for adult women. If you aren't yet "old," but aren't still "young," you've got to join us."
If Nancy Meyers curated a newsletter, it would be Gloria. #enoughsaid
Beth’s Recommendations
I subscribe to so many newsletters that I get overwhelmed. My main piece of game-changing newsletter reading advice is to use the Substack app. In my inbox, they can feel like burdens. In the app, they feel like treasures.
Knowing that newsletters can get overwhelming, I decided to share only two favorites of 2023. These two are new to me this year and must-reads, as soon as they land.
Asha Dornfest, Parents of Adults
I love learning from Asha, who is a little ahead of me on the path. The way that she writes about her grown children, her aging parents, her empty nest, her marriage—it all connects with me and shines a light toward living well through a season that will arrive sooner than I can imagine.
Jessica Hagy, This Week's Top Ten
On her website, Jessica Hagy introduces herself by saying "I draw connections between things." And she does. I never have a clue what will be in her short illustrated newsletter, but I know it will be weird and wild and wonderful. I know I'll have to think about it for a minute to get it, and then that I won't be able to stop thinking about it until her next newsletter comes.

Be a News Minimalist
I recommend unsubscribing from everything and getting your news from Pantsuit Politics Premium. That’s been my vibe this year. I do like The Morning from The New York Times.
Let Technology Be Your Friend
I also recommend using Unroll.me or setting up rules in your Gmail to sort your email so it doesn’t get overwhelming and you can keep all the glorious newsletters organized for the moment you want to read them.
Maggie’s Recommendations
Seth Godin is a marketing expert, but his blog is expansive, full of humility, and talks about building community around ideas in a way that doesn’t make you feel icky and gross.
Angela Duckworth’s Tip of the Week
This newsletter is so full of parenting nuggets that when I forget to read this, I search it out in my inbox. Wonderful for parents (and people who still feel like they have growing up to do)
The Marginalian by Maria Popova
This newsletter is a long read, and I honestly rarely get all the way through it, but I love the way Maria Popova weaves poetry, history, biography, and science together in her writing and insights. Even the subject lines are worth having in your inbox.
