I want to take a moment and invite you to consider unsubscribing from something that's been deeply ingrained in us: the drive for constant self-improvement.

Don’t get me wrong—growth, learning, and evolving are all things I wholeheartedly support. But here’s the thing: this drive to “improve” often comes from a place of feeling like we’re not enough as we are right now. It stems from the idea that we need to change, be better, thinner, smarter, or achieve more to be worthy, to be good enough.

The world feels heavy right now.
Fascism. Conflict. Uncertainty. It’s a lot—and it’s easy to feel small in the face of it all.

But here’s what I’m holding onto: I’m not alone, and neither are you.
Millions of us are quietly resisting, unsubscribing from harmful systems, and standing up for humanity, compassion, and equality—in the ways we can, with the resources we have.

Small acts matter.
They keep us out of despair and rooted in purpose. Voting. Volunteering. Sharing truth. Taking action close to home. It adds up.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, you’re not broken—you’re awake. Let’s keep doing what we can. It matters.

How much of our lives have we spent trying to change, fix, or perfect our bodies—just to make them more “acceptable”?

Most women I know have been doing this for as long as they can remember. Because we’ve been conditioned to see our bodies as problems to solve rather than homes to live in.

And that belief? It fuels entire industries.
- $123 billion—the value of the beauty industry in North America.
- $75 billion—the diet industry.
- Nearly $200 billion spent convincing us that we aren’t enough as we are.

But what if we Unsubscribed from that idea?

International Women’s Day matters. Full stop. It puts gender equality, leadership access, safety, and sovereignty in the spotlight—issues we should care about every day. But let’s be real: some of what we see on IWD is all optics, no action.

At WLI, we believe in community over networks. Real change happens in small, intentional spaces where we connect deeply, share stories, and take action—whether that’s supporting women-owned businesses, advocating for equity, or making thoughtful donations.

Ever look at the world—politics, the workplace, culture—and think, this isn’t it? That feeling, that moment of questioning? That’s the first step to unsubscribing.

Unsubscribing means choosing not to accept the status quo just because it’s the way things are. It’s a powerful act of awareness, and we need it now more than ever.

Welcome to Unsubscribe.
