Wellish

You know that fantasy where you wake up one morning as the “new you” — glowing, healed, unbothered, journaling at sunrise? Yeah… that’s not how it actually works. In this week’s episode, I'm calling BS on the myth of the overnight transformation. Real change doesn’t come from a lightning bolt moment, it comes from a thousand tiny, unglamorous choices you make when no one’s clapping for you. The ni...

In this Well ish conversation, I'm sitting down with Erica Bonham — licensed professional counselor, somatic and attachment-focused EMDR trainer, and author of Always Enough, Never Done — to explore why healing can’t be thought into existence. Together, we're dive into the messy, liberating truth that self-criticism and overthinking don’t create transformation. Instead, real healing asks us to tru...

We’ve all had those breakthrough moments — the hidden narrative clicks, you realize you’re done with the old story, and you declare your new one. So you listen, watch, and read all of the things so you understand how to become your new narrative. But no matter what you do, nothing feels different. Why? Because awareness isn’t embodiment. Your knowledge to skill gap is too large. In this Wellish co...

Perfectionism, comparison, and waiting for validation can keep us trapped in old stories. In this Wellish conversation, I’m sitting down with Brandon Keith Osborn —filmmaker, photographer, writer, and founder of For Real Life—to explore how rewriting your narrative creates room for authentic growth. Brandon shares his story of creative ambition, addiction, and identity struggles, and how fatherhoo...

In this episode of Wellish , I dive into what I’ve been learning about how our thoughts create our reality—and how I’m putting it into practice in my own life. I open up more than I ever have about my past relationship, the dynamics with my ex, and the deep-rooted beliefs about myself that I’m actively healing. Through raw stories and everyday examples, I show how the narrative we tell ourselves d...

Letting go heals faster than trying harder. In this Well ish conversation, I am sitting down with Alisha Kapani, a mind–body mentor and quantum health coach , to unpack why hyper-control and hustle can keep you stuck. Alisha shares her story of depression and social anxiety, how “giving up” softened her resistance, and the moment she followed intuition into mind-body medicine and theta healing. We...

When you hear the word “manipulation,” you probably think of toxic exes, narcissists, or evil a**holes. But the truth is we all may be more guilty of manipulation that we realize, and it’s often happening without us even knowing it. In this episode of Wellish , I'm breaking down the subtle, everyday ways we manipulate (and get manipulated), why it’s rooted in fear, and how these patterns quietly m...

In this special episode of Wellish I’m putting myself in the hot seat! Think of this as an unfiltered get to know me - the stories, quirks, confessions you don’t hear in the self improvement episodes to help you get to know me outside of the personal growth talk!

What does it actually mean to be good enough? It's something we battle with and hear constantly, but when I sat back with that concept I realized I didn't even really know what that meant to be "good enough". What I did know is I allowed the constant need to feel good enough to play too much of a negative role in who I was and how I was showing up in my life. In order to make any progress on a cer...

Living alone (or just being alone) comes with both freedom and frustration. In this episode I explore the good -- the grounding, the independence, the chance to build a life on your own terms -- and the bad --the boredom, the lonliness, the temptation to fill every quiet space with distractions. Then we'll dive deeper into the real question: are you using this time alone to connect with yourself,...

On Wellish , we’re not here to blindly follow every self-improvement trend — we’re here to question them. This week, I’m diving into TikTok’s newest obsession: monthly curriculums. Are they a genius way to learn, grow, and add structure to your life — or just another self-optimization spiral dressed up as self-care? I’ll break down what the trend is, who it’s for, and why people love it… but also...

You don’t have to hustle yourself into the ground to create the life you want—but you also can’t just wait for it to magically fall into your lap. In this episode, we're exploring the sweet spot between toxic productivity and hopeless surrender, and how to close the gap between your current self and your dream self without burnout or perfectionism. We’ll break down the psychology behind why we get...

What if you stopped performing for love? In this raw and deeply relatable episode, I'm cracking open the fear of stillness, the pressure to be impressive, and the subtle ways we perform just to feel worthy. From spiraling after a chill weekend to curating confidence after heartbreak, this one is for the overthinkers, the perfectionists, and the ones who secretly feel like they have to "earn" their...

Just because you’re not being fake doesn’t mean you’re being real. This week, we’re untangling the difference between comfort and authenticity—and why the truest version of you might not feel natural at first. I’m sharing stories about showing up loudly, being labeled “scary” (aka confident) by men, and realizing that what I thought was growth was actually just survival mode. We’re breaking down:...

This week’s episode is a full-blown spiral turned breakthrough. First, I’m breaking down the friendship anxiety no one talks about—the kind that doesn’t hit during the hangout, but after , when you’re stuck replaying everything you said and wondering if you were too much. Then, we’re talking about what it really means to be “too loud,” “too emotional,” or “too sensitive”—and how being told I’m too...

I’m moving out of my healing den and into my new city life (!!), but before I pack up, I had to sit down and record a mini-episode with three mindsets that are seriously saving my sanity lately. If you’ve been overthinking your future, spiraling after social plans, or stuck in your feelings — this one’s for you. We’re talking: Living in the short term and how to let your calendar hold the weight o...

You don’t need more willpower. You need a new story. In this episode, I’m breaking down why so many of us feel stuck—even when we’re trying—and how your identity, not your discipline, is what’s really running the show. I’ll share the brain science behind why we repeat the same patterns, the tiny identity anchors that helped me stop tying my worth to productivity, and how to finally shift into the...

If you’ve been spiraling about whether you’re making the right moves, doing enough, or working hard enough to finally live the life you want—this episode is for you. We’re talking about what it actually means to surrender when it feels like doing nothing could cost you everything. From control as a trauma response to the magnetic power of full receiving mode, this episode walks you through the art...

You’re doing the mindset work. You’ve got the vision. You know who you want to be. So why does it still feel like something’s blocking you? This week on Wellish, we’re talking about what really keeps you from becoming your ideal self and why it has nothing to do with effort, productivity, or motivation. It has everything to do with your nervous system. If your body still thinks you’re unsafe, it w...

This week on Wellish , I’m breaking down what I’ve learned in the first 6 days of my 30 day magnetism experiment and spoiler alert: magnetism isn’t about being hot, loud, or liked by everyone. It’s about self worth, self trust, and having standards high enough to reject what doesn’t align. I’m sharing the real moment I proved this to myself: turning down an “almost perfect” apartment because it di...

Are you understanding, empathetic and low maintenance or are you abandoning yourself? We’re unpacking the subtle, sneaky ways self abandonment shows up in your everyday life. From lowering your standards because it's more comfortable to convincing yourself you're being the bigger, emotionally mature person you might be betraying yourself without even realizing it. I’m breaking down seven signs tha...

Are you healing… or hiding? In this episode of Wellish , we’re calling out the sneaky way self-improvement can become a full-blown identity crisis. Healing is powerful—but it was never meant to be your whole personality. If you’ve wrapped your sense of self around your trauma, your therapy speak, and doing everything “right,” this one’s for you. We’ll talk about how easy it is to over-identify wit...

What if your emotional reactions weren’t something to fix—but something to understand ? In this unapologetically honest episode, we’re talking about what happens when you confuse healing with becoming more “chill,” more digestible, or more likable—and how that mindset is quietly killing your self-trust. This one’s for the woman who’s done doing everything “right” and still feeling off. Who’s tired...

Do you ever feel like life is forcing you to toughen up—whether you want to or not? In this episode of Wellish, we’re talking about the art of staying soft in a world that tries to harden you. If you’ve felt jaded, guarded, or disconnected from your true self, this is your permission slip to come back to your softness without losing your power. We’ll unpack: Why softness is actually a form of stre...

In this birthday episode, I’m not just reflecting on the past year—I’m sharing the 27 empowering choices I’m making this year to step into the woman I’m meant to become. Rather than dwelling on what I’ve learned, I’m focusing on intentional decisions to shape my future. I start by toasting the past versions of me that got me here, flaws and all, so we can appreciate how far we've come. Whether you...
