Your list of permissions is so real.

you know what companies should add to their perks and benefits? a cleaning stipend. or extend their wellness perks to including cleaning services. my mental health would greatly benefit more from a clean house than a treadmill.

My hot take is wellness stipends could be spent on whatever you want. The dopamine hit of buying new shoes counts as wellness.

FULLY agree! I had worked at a company that offered a "lifestyle" budget and they didn't have any rules around how you spent that. It was just $200/month for you.

$200/month is way more generous than I’ve seen for perks!

Ah, the daily negotiation upon waking. I know that well. Thank you for sharing this - the idea of balance has always made me 🤨 "I think, ultimately, we should stop feeling less at war with ourselves." - such a good takeaway.
