Welcome. Wear A Helmet is a self-conscious look at the wellness industry, exploring the intersections of mindfulness, personal growth, and the realities of modern life, while celebrating the non-linear journeys we each take toward finding our own version of well-being.
If you’re reading this it’s probably because you know either Lizzy or Alden. Or maybe not. We met during our 200 hour yoga teacher training. We share many similarities–our love of yoga and wellness activities, red hair, sobriety and a very important tool for joy: e-biking. Lizzy is very excited to bring you monthly e-biking playlists. Hence, the name ‘Wear A Helmet’ was born. Of course, you’re not seeing anyone on the streets of New York on e-bikes wearing helmets. It's all about having the wind in your hair. So just think of this Substack as your reminder to stay well. And safe of course.
What you can expect from us:
A twice-weekly newsletter. One more freeform and listicle, think 5 thoughts from Lizzy, 5 from Alden. Another letter that dives deeper into a topic.
Some things we’re brimming to discuss:
Our love-hate relationship with Happier Grocer.
The power of a personal altar.
Breathwork for healing trauma.
What are people wearing to yoga classes these days? (hint: it’s not leggings)
Creativity as an antidote to consumption.
It’s all free, for now.
We are happy to have you here. Stay tuned, our first Wednesday listicle will be out tomorrow.
- Lizzy & Alden
P.S. Don’t forget to wear a helmet.
