it's time to exercise ownership over your life.
sweat & equity is a weekly edit for the modern multitasker.
By sharing resources in the fields of sweat 💦 (health & wellness, self-improvement) and equity 💸(personal finance, career development), sweat & equity is here to empower you with the inspiration and motivation you need to exercise ownership over life these days — whether you're WFH or OOO.
sweat & equity was born from the realization that prioritizing personal interests, cultivating hobbies and approaching self-care with discipline is essential to succeeding at work, in personal relationships and in life.

"sweat equity" refers to a non-financial investment, so rest assured this won't be a newsletter full of product recommendations. instead, with a bit of inspiration and motivation, we can press ahead with positivity in little ways each day - whether that's taking time to evaluate what is (and isn't) working for you in your daily routines, or simply reading an article that makes you smile.

Hi! 👋
I'm Veena, originally from Singapore, recently graduated from Yale and now living/working in London.
As a recovering perfectionist and a restless creative, I launched sweat & equity with the aim of sharing resources to help others like me better exercise ownership over their lives.
During the first wave of COVID-19, the two things I missed most were exercising and working up a good sweat at group fitness classes, and the general sense of ownership over my life by being out and about, making plans, and doing things I love.
The newsletter is not here to supercharge your isolation period or pressure you into making the most of lockdown, when the main thing most of us need is time to wind down and adapt to uncertain circumstances. Rather, we're here to share ideas and resources to help you feel empowered on your own terms during a time when most of us feel powerless.
Sending lots of love,
Veena x
