About Us
A fulfilling life rarely comes down to one perfect routine, one breakthrough habit, or one version of success. It takes shape through hundreds of smaller choices: what gets our attention, what we make room for, what we decide to change, and what we decide is already enough. Pursuit of Living Well explores those choices with curiosity, warmth, and a healthy respect for the fact that real life is rarely tidy.
Growth influences the decisions we make, our choices shape the way our days feel, and our daily habits affect the energy we have for everything else. Instead of treating those subjects as separate self-improvement projects, we look at how they quietly interact.
You won't find a single blueprint for living well because we don't think one exists. What you will find are thoughtful questions, useful ideas, fresh perspectives, and practical ways to look at familiar parts of life a little differently. Sometimes the most valuable shift isn't becoming a completely new person; it's understanding the life you're already building with more clarity.
The Life Between the Milestones
Not every meaningful change needs a big moment behind it. Big moments get plenty of attention, but most of life happens in between them. Pursuit of Living Well focuses on the routines, decisions, relationships, and everyday experiences that make those in-between days matter.
What We Cover
Pursuit of Living Well is built around three connected areas of life that shape how we feel, how we grow, and how we move through the world.
Personal Growth
Growth isn't always dramatic enough to announce itself. Sometimes it's changing your mind about a goal, becoming comfortable with being a beginner again, asking for better feedback, or realizing that an old definition of success no longer fits. Personal Growth looks closely at those quieter moments of change.
Conscious Living
A surprising amount of life happens on autopilot. We look at attention, time, technology, consumption, boundaries, household rhythms, routines, priorities, and the small choices that influence how a day actually feels. The goal isn't to make every decision profound or turn simplicity into another achievement badge. It's to make a little more room for choices that feel considered rather than automatic.
Everyday Well-Being
Well-being doesn't need to arrive with an elaborate ritual attached. It can look like stepping outside between tasks, protecting a slower evening, moving because your body has been sitting too long, eating something that leaves you satisfied, or choosing an activity that asks less from your attention than another hour of scrolling. Everyday Well-Being explores the practical habits that can support a more comfortable, balanced day.
Editorial Values
🔎
Curiosity Before Conclusions
We like questions that become more interesting the longer you think about them. Rather than rushing toward a neat answer, we look at the context, competing priorities, and details that can change what makes sense. Readers deserve enough information to form their own view.
🌾
Insight with usefulness
An idea doesn't need to sound revolutionary to make someone's day easier. We favor practical observations, thoughtful frameworks, and realistic changes over dramatic transformations or inflated promises. If something is genuinely useful, it shouldn't need hype to make the case.
🌟
Well-Being Without Perfection
A healthy relationship with everyday life leaves room for imperfect mornings, changing energy, unfinished plans, takeout dinners, ambitious seasons, slower seasons, and everything between them. We don't treat well-being as a personality type or a competition. Our coverage makes room for real circumstances rather than idealized routines.
🌈
A Human Voice Matters
People don't naturally talk in inspirational slogans, and neither do we. We prefer specific language, honest nuance, personality, and writing that sounds like it came from someone who actually thought about the question. Warmth and intelligence work better together than either one does alone.
Meet Our Writers
Simone Ellery
Senior Personal Growth Editor

Isabel Wren
Wellness Living Editor
Isabel spent five years as a sustainability researcher before turning to long-form writing. Her essays on intentional living, consumption, and slow travel have earned a devoted readership who describe her work as "the kind of article you re-read twice a year."
David Montgomery
Mindfulness Educator and Conscious Living Editor
David writes about conscious living, mindfulness, attention, and the subtle ways awareness can reshape the quality of daily life. His work explores themes such as presence, digital balance, mental clutter, values-based choices, and the importance of creating space to think, notice, and live more deliberately.
Clara Fontaine
Relationships & Inner Life Editor
Clara's background in philosophy and her decade of practice as a mindfulness facilitator gives her writing an unusual quality—it's both precise and tender. She covers the interior landscape: emotional habits, attention, the stories we tell ourselves, and how to gently revise them.
No Perfect-Life Requirement
Pursuit of Living Well isn't built around the idea that everyone should wake earlier, achieve more, own less, meditate longer, eat perfectly, or somehow turn Wednesday into an optimized experience. People have different responsibilities, temperaments, resources, cultures, goals, and seasons of life. Advice becomes more useful when it remembers that.
We prefer flexibility over rigid formulas and reflection over arbitrary rules. Some readers may want meaningful change, while others may simply be looking for a better way to understand something they're already experiencing. Both belong in the conversation.
That is also why our definition of living well stays intentionally open. It may involve growth, but it can also involve enjoyment, curiosity, friendship, comfort, competence, play, enoughness, or making ordinary days feel more like your own. A publication about living well should leave room for an actual life.
Share Your Season
Every season of life carries its own lessons, rhythms, and quiet turning points. Sometimes growth looks like a fresh start. Sometimes it looks like slowing down, paying closer attention, or returning to what supports you best. However it’s unfolding, living well is something we keep discovering in real time.
If there’s a practice, perspective, or small daily rhythm that’s helping you feel more like yourself, we’d love to hear it.
