Many of us feel pressure to transform ourselves. Just spend a few minutes scrolling social media, and you’re likely to come across several videos telling you about various challenges and tips to help you have a “glow-up”. Most of these tips are about physical appearance – drinking more water to clear your skin, or spending 75 days doing hardcore workouts.
The Quarter Life Glow-up is a little different. This six-week newsletter course from The Conversation’s UK and Canada editions will suggest ways you might be able to improve your social life, relationships, mental health and career – without breaking a sweat, spending money or revamping your skincare routine.
The course is aimed at readers in their 20s and 30s. This is a period of life where many of us make big decisions that will affect us the rest of our lives – from careers, to relationships, to parenthood. The tips in the course will hopefully help you make some of those decisions, but they’ll remain helpful for many years to come.

When you sign up for the course, you’ll get six weeks of research-backed analysis, expert advice and challenges delivered straight to your inbox. Each week will bring you two new articles, a note from our editors and a bite-size activity to help you try it at home.

The Glow-up takes what The Conversation does best – accessible, rigorous content – and shows you how to apply it in your own life. You can start your glow-up at any time. And like all our content, it’s free to access and has no ads or subscriptions.
