Wellish
Wellish is a movement for imperfect people to feel good enough. Here we test what actually works, share what doesn't, and push back against the perfect, aesthetic version of growth. Narrative journalist Sarah Ritondale leads a movement of women choosing to evolve without the pressure to be perfect. If you're healing, growing, or just trying to feel good enough in real life, you're already one of us. Welcome to a new kind of self-improvement -- one that feels like friendship, not a checklist.

The art of doing the bare minimum 26.01.2026 21:32
We need to talk about the bare minimum and not in a lazy giving up nothing matters kind of way. In this episode, we’re breaking the stigma around doing less and redefining what your personal bare minimum actually is.

Q&A: Confessions of a Wellish Listener 24.01.2026 22:17
Instead of sharing my confessions for this week’s short I’m sharing yours!! I asked you three questions about performative wellness, proving your worth, and the “bare minimum” expectations you secretly hold yourself to and the answers were SO REAL that this episode is basically a group therapy session lol. We’re talking about the difference between supporting yourself vs. performing wellness, why...

And then you crash, spiral, or quietly abandon it because it feels exhausting? This episode is for the person who wants to change their life… but deep down knows they’re doing it from a place of “I need to be better to be worthy.” Because here’s the truth: you’re not becomin...
Confessions of a Wellish Girly: I learned my attachment styles and I'm embarrassing 16.01.2026 14:37
I literally just learned my attachment style two days ago… and it hit me that my goal isn’t to be perfect — it’s to be secure. Because “healing” isn’t never getting triggered, never overthinking, or never needing reassurance… it’s learning how to feel safe inside yourself even when you’re uncomfortable. In this mini episode, I’m sharing the mindset shift that made everything click: secure attachme...
Stop “pushing through” your overwhelm with Corrie LoGiudice 14.01.2026 1:01:37

Today I’m joined by Corrie LoGiudice (leadership coach + speaker, former SVP) and we’re reframing overwhelm for what it actually is: a sign that something in your life or your current strategy isn’t adapted to your reality an...
Fixing yourself isn't healing you 12.01.2026 38:48
Wellish besties… if you’re exhausted from trying to improve yourself 24/7, I need you to listen to this. Because fixing yourself can feel like healing… but honestly? Sometimes it’s just your brain trying to keep you safe. It gives you a mission. A checklist. A sense of control. And even though it feels productive, you never actually feel the relief you’re chasing. Today we’re talking about the com...
Confessions of a Wellish Girly: I need to problem solve EVERYTHING! 09.01.2026 16:12
We’re leaving the advice for Mondays — Fridays are for our chaotic minds. In this Wellish Short, I’m confessing something I’ve been unlearning in real time: my need to problem-solve everything . The feelings, the conversations, the discomfort, the silence — all of it. This isn’t a how-to episode. There are no steps, no solutions, no fixes. Just an honest reflection on why some of us default to “fi...
How to use your worst feelings to become your best guide with Nichole Eaton 07.01.2026 1:06:14
Anxiety, depression, emotional heaviness… what if they’re not proof that you’re broken, but red flags trying to get your attention? In this episode, I'm sitting down with licensed mental health counselor Nichole Eaton, host of the Rock Your Comeback podcast and author, to talk about using your “bad feelings” as information instead of an identity. Nichole shares how she pulled herself out of postpa...
Stop trying to reach your goals through perfect execution 05.01.2026 42:10
We all romanticize our “new life” when we set a goal. We imagine the healed, disciplined, unbothered version of ourselves who never slips, never spirals, never skips, and somehow turns effort into identity overnight. But real growth doesn’t look like flawless execution. It looks like being human, messing up sometimes, returning to yourself, and still choosing to keep going. In this episode of Well...
The art of using what hurt you to become unrecognizeable 22.12.2025 30:26
Bad things happen. We make mistakes. We stay too long. We ignore our intuition. We get hurt. But those moments don’t have to define you — unless you let them. In this episode of Wellish, we’re talking about how to take the hardest things that happen in your life — the breakups, failures, regrets, and “I should’ve known better” moments — and use them to your advantage instead of falling into a vict...
How to tranform into who you actually are 15.12.2025 38:36
If you’ve ever felt chronically “off,” overly influenced by other people’s opinions, or like you’re living a version of your life that doesn’t actually fit you — this episode is for you. So many of us think we’re being ourselves, when in reality we’re operating from survival patterns, old identities, and external conditioning we never consciously chose. People pleasing feels like personality. Perf...
Get your energy in alignment with who you really are with Barbara Savin 08.12.2025 1:19:34
This one’s for my Wellish friends who feel drained, stuck in their own head, or looping a story about themselves that just…isn’t true anymore. In this episode, I’m joined by Barbara Savin—Reiki master, energy healing specialist, clinical hypnotherapist, life coach, and host of The Spiritual Warrior Coach podcast. Barbara grew up feeling “crazy,” shut down her gifts, got sick, ignored her intuition...
How to become who you actually are and not who you were trained to be with Cheri Carandanis 01.12.2025 1:15:49
What do you do when the story you built your whole life on suddenly… doesn’t exist anymore? In today’s episode, I’m talking with abstract artist and former Air Force critical care flight nurse Cheri Carandanis , whose entire identity was built around being “the capable one” — the nurse, the helper, the perfectionist, the strong one. After two brain injuries and a sudden, traumatic loss, that versi...
Heal your story through expression, not intellectualization with Devorah Brinckerhoff 24.11.2025 1:19:51
Real healing isn’t pretty. It isn’t a 5 a.m. routine, a perfectly lit yoga flow, or a tidy before-and-after. It’s messy, textured, human — and sometimes it starts with ripping up old love letters. In this episode, I sit down with mixed media artist and Soul Portrait creator Devorah Brinckerhoff, whose 30+ years as an artist and very real journey through childhood trauma, family estrangement, and h...
How to level up after a plot twist 17.11.2025 22:08
If you're exhausted by people trying to sell you silver linings, same. Today we’re talking about the kind of plot twists that blindside you, crack your identity open, and force you to choose who you’re going to become next. This episode is your no-b.s. guide to turning the chaos you didn’t choose into the character development you actually need. Because yes, life hands out golden tickets disguised...
Closing the gap between your inner world and your outer identity 10.11.2025 27:30
What if the version of you you’re meant to be is already here — she’s just waiting for privacy, honesty, and imperfection to let her breathe? In this episode of Wellish , Sarah peels back the layers between the person you are in private and the one you perform for the world. We talk about the quiet truth of identity — the moments you can’t post, the thoughts you censor, and the parts of yourself t...
The algorithmic glow up vs the soul level glow up 27.10.2025 32:06
We talk about glow-ups like they’re visible — new wardrobes, better apartments, a life that photographs well. But the kind of transformation that actually changes your life happens in silence. In this episode, Sarah explores the difference between the algorithmic glow-up — the one everyone can see — and the soul glow-up — the one only you can feel. It’s about learning to like yourself in private,...
Chasing perfection is blocking your self growth 20.10.2025 40:41
You can’t “heal” perfectly. You can’t “manifest” perfectly. And you definitely can’t “surrender” perfectly — but that doesn’t stop so many of us from trying. In this episode, Sarah breaks down the hidden perfectionism that’s taken over modern spirituality — the pressure to meditate daily, feel high-vibe, never spiral, and always “trust the universe.” She explores how this obsession with getting it...
The cure to achievement addiction with Ashley Jordan 16.10.2025 1:12:15
What if the real transformation isn’t about doing more—it’s about finally slowing down enough to ask why you’re doing it at all? In this soulful convo, Sarah sits down with writer and author Ashley Jordan ( Unhappy Achiever ) to explore what happens when success stops satisfying, self-improvement becomes another mask, and “becoming” quietly turns into self-rejection. Ashley shares the moment her b...
How to get signs from the universe (without forcing them) 13.10.2025 40:09
You don’t manifest signs by chasing them — you receive them by softening. In this episode, Sarah explores the energy shift that makes synchronicities start showing up everywhere. You’ll learn how to move from control into receptivity, rebuild trust with your intuition, and understand why signs appear only when you’re finally open enough to notice them. This isn’t about magical thinking — it’s abou...
The conversations that prove you can make your higher self real 09.10.2025 24:32
What if your higher self isn’t someone you’re chasing — but someone you’re remembering? In this reflective Wellish compilation, Sarah revisits past guest conversations that reveal what becoming your higher self actually looks like in real life: the breakdowns, the surrenders, and the quiet shifts that turn healing into transformation. Through raw, soulful clips and her own reflections, this episod...
