What We're Looking For

Personal Experience Pieces

"How I Quit [Habit]" stories that go beyond the surface. We want the ugly parts, the failed attempts, and the specific strategies that finally worked. Not highlight reels.

Evidence-Based Guides

Deep dives on habit-breaking strategies backed by research. If you're a therapist, psychologist, coach, or health professional, this is your lane.

Tool and App Reviews

Honest reviews of apps, products, or services that help people break bad habits. Must be based on personal use, not press releases.

Topics we're especially interested in right now:

Quitting Alcohol Stress Eating Bad Sleep Habits Overspending Negative Self-Talk Anger Management Social Media Addiction ADHD & Habit-Breaking Recovery Stories Impulse Buying

Requirements

Guidelines

Length

1,500–3,000 words. Long enough to be genuinely useful, short enough to hold attention. We don't publish thin content or bloated padding.

Tone

Honest, direct, no-BS. We don't do toxic positivity or empty motivation. Think "smart friend who's been through it" — not "wellness influencer."

Sources

Cite your claims. If you make a scientific claim, link to the study, book, or data source. We don't publish unsourced health claims.

Originality

Must be original content not published elsewhere. We'll check. Repurposed or spun content is an automatic rejection.

Format

Include subheadings and break up long sections for readability. We'll handle final formatting. A rough draft is fine — good ideas beat perfect prose.

The deal

What's In It For You

Author byline with a short bio and link to your website or social profile.

Exposure to our growing audience in the self-improvement space.

A permanent do-follow backlink from our site to yours — valuable for SEO.

The satisfaction of helping someone break free from something that's been holding them back.

We do not currently offer monetary compensation for guest posts.
