Wellish

You plan the perfect routine, you feel so motivated, you tell yourself this is the one that’s going to change your life and then life happens. You get busy, tired, off your game for a day and suddenly you’re back at square one, wondering why you can’t stay consistent. But what if the problem isn’t you? What if the problem is that you’ve been trying to follow routines that only work when your life...

This week, I had to set a boundary that completely threw off my energy for the day and it made me realize something that honestly shifted how I look at everything: Your life isn’t just determined by what you do it’s determined by how much energy you have to do it. And if you’re constantly pouring your energy into things, people, or situations that drain you of course you feel behind. Of course eve...

You don’t need a perfect routine to change your life. You need one decision you actually follow through on. In this episode, I’m talking with Janet McConnell, Healthy Longevity Advocate, author, and national champion bodybuilder, who rebuilt her life after a health crisis in her 40s and is now approaching 70 stronger than ever. But this isn’t about becoming a bodybuilder. It’s about: how your dail...

You’ve been trying to get your life together. Fix your routine. Be more consistent. Do things “right.” But what if the problem isn’t your life, but it’s how you’re looking at it? In this episode, we’re talking about the quiet pressure to make your life look good: productive, aesthetic, put together, and how that’s actually disconnecting you from what it feels like to live it. Because real life is...

this week’s episode is a confession of genuine good feeling compared to the typically more negative ones I had a moment where this week that I realized I felt truly happy with myself and my life and it caught me off guard because nothing huge changed, i just made a decision about who I am and started showing up like that despite any fear that comes up for me. We’re talking about what happens when...

You can have the routines, the goals, the ambition, and the self-improvement habits and still feel like something in your life is off. In this episode, I’m talking with relationship coach for high performers Melissa Nanavati about the part of your lifestyle that affects your energy, peace, and daily rhythm more than you might realize: your relationships. We talk about why ambitious people often kn...

You don’t need to become a completely different person to change your life… you just need to become more intentional about who you already are. If you’ve been feeling stuck, inconsistent, or like you’re constantly starting over—this episode will show you why. Not from a “try harder” perspective, but from an identity level. Today we’re breaking down exactly how to build your new identity in a way t...

This month’s hates & favs is very “I’m trying to get my life together but also… I’m still a human being.” We’re talking about how hard it is to choose your future self over plans, random beauty wins and fails, the weird emotional aftermath of being left, and what it actually feels like to step into a healthier, more secure version of yourself. Also: diet cherry coke, slow cookers, and a tiny l...

You don’t actually want to be this version of yourself anymore so why do you keep acting like them? In this episode, we’re talking about what it really takes to let go of your old identity the habits, reactions, and patterns that feel automatic but don’t align with who you’re trying to become. Because here’s the part no one talks about: becoming a new version of yourself does NOT feel empowering a...

You say you want to change… but your actions don’t match it. So what’s actually going on? In this episode, I’m breaking down real listener confessions—skipping the gym, not taking themselves seriously, holding back around other people—and the identity patterns underneath all of it. Because it’s not just habits. It’s how you see yourself. If you’ve ever felt like you have so much potential but your...

Have you ever stopped and thought this person you've been showing up as just doesn't feel like you? Like you don't know how you became this version of yourself you are today and you really wish you could be better. Maybe you're aways the "responsible one", or the "chill understanding one," or the one who overthinks everything. Maybe you're socially awkward or anxious or angry and it feels so autom...

Okay… this week’s confession is that I think I get defensive more than I realized. I first noticed it in therapy when we were talking about Gottman’s Four Horsemen and defensiveness came up. Since then I’ve started noticing how quickly my brain assumes the worst interpretation of things and immediately wants to defend myself — sometimes even when no one actually criticized me. In this episode I’m...

In this episode of Wellish, we’re diving into something that quietly shapes who we become: the family dynamics and patterns we grow up around. My guest today, motivational mindset coach Bill Ritchie, shares how emotionally challenging environments can leave lasting imprints on our identity, influencing everything from our confidence and boundaries to how we show up in relationships. We talk about...

Most of us believe we’re living as our authentic selves. But what if the version of you that the world knows is actually a mask you learned to wear? At some point in life, many of us adapt into roles that make us feel safer, more loved, or more accepted: the achiever, the easygoing one, the strong one, the responsible one. These identities can help us survive certain environments, but over time th...

In this week’s Confessions of a Wellish Girly, I’m talking about something I’ve been really realizing lately: how easy it is to tie your entire sense of worth to achievement. For most of my life, I believed that being productive, improving, and constantly working to be enough was what made me valuable. But what happens when your identity becomes your output? In this episode, I’m sharing the realiz...

So many of us are living identities we never consciously chose. The “good girl.” The people pleaser. The anxious one. The responsible one. In this episode of Wellish, I’m sitting down with narrative advisor and identity coach Jessica Graham to unpack how the stories we formed about ourselves, often in childhood or during our hardest moments, quietly shape the way we show up in relationships, work,...

If you feel like you’re constantly trying to do more to finally feel better about your life, this episode is for you. Somewhere along the way, we started believing that who we are is defined by what we produce — how productive we are, how disciplined we are, how much we can improve ourselves. But the truth is, identity doesn’t come from how much you do. It comes from deeply knowing yourself. In th...

It’s time for this month’s Confessions of a Wellish Girly — the unfiltered hates and favorites. We’re talking gym struggles that humbled me, the beauty mishap that took out my lashes, and the mindset moments where my ambition definitely outran my self-care. But there are wins too: simplifying my routine, deeper girlfriend hangs, growing career clarity… and yes — I have to tell you someone about a...

What if the thing you've been chasing - success, discipline, being impressive, being the good girl is the exact thing keeping you stuck? I this episode, I'm joined by Dr. Alessandra Wall (clinical psychologist turned executive coach) to talk about the gilded cage of achievement: when your life isn't bad, but you still feel trapped, tired, and unsatisfied with your life. We get into how to stop per...

If you’ve ever proudly called yourself “low maintenance”… this episode might lovingly call you out. Because sometimes what we label as being easygoing, chill, or low maintenance… is actually low standards in disguise. In this episode, we’re getting honest about the subtle ways high-functioning, self-aware women end up over-accommodating, under-asking, and quietly tolerating misalignment for far to...

Everything just can’t be that serious and I am confessing it. I am tired of all of the "criteria" we are supposed to meet in order to consider us good enough. There’s so many agendas to fill and standards to meet and highlight reels we compare ourselves to and we logically know we can’t listen to it all, but our subconscious doesn’t care! It soaks it all in a treats it as truth and we struggle to...

If you’ve ever thought, “This is just who I am I’m anxious, I’m reactive, I shut down, I people-please,” this episode is going to mess with you (in the best way). Cedric Bertelli breaks down why so many “personality traits” are actually unfinished emotional responses stored in the body and why managing your emotions (even in healthy ways like journaling, reframing, meditation, and talking it out)...

If right now you are going through something emotionally damaging and you feel like nothing anyone says or does or anything you do works to make you feel better this episode is for you. You are trapped in an emotional whirlwind trying to problem solve, control, make meaning and fix the problem you're faced with in an effort just to feel better. That's why this episode is all about the ultimate too...

For today’s confession I’m talking about my spontaneous decision to go to New York with a group of strangers and someone I haven’t shared with you guys yet. But the craziest part is how full circle this experience is to my one year mark after my most emotionally wrecking experience. I am talking about my healing journey and where I’m at now. If you are someone who’s experiencing emotional wreck le...

Ever been in so much emotional pain that nothing anyone says helps—your friends, your therapist, even your own logic? This episode is for you. Today I’m talking to Betsy Kudlinski, a Freedom Guide and and nervous system healing practitioner, about why you can’t outthink trauma—because when your nervous system doesn’t feel safe, your brain can’t “mindset” you out of survival mode. We break down som...
