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.

Day 26: Proof You Can Transform From Self Hatred to Self Love with Shannon McBride 26.02.2024 52:07
As we come to the end of the 28 Days of Self Love series, I thought it would be really impactful for our last speaker of the serious to prove to the Elite that it is truly possible to go from a really low place to a place of self love. Shannon McBride describes her path to self love. For years she battled with mental illness, became a mother unplanned at 19, faced huge amount of anxiety, relations...
Day 25: Self Love Languages 25.02.2024 13:39
On this episode I thought it would be fun to give you guys some action steps to focus on if you are wanting to take your self love just a little further. While it isn't necessary to grow your self love like the other topics we've discussed throughout the series it is something that will only take your self love another step further. Using Dr. Gary Chapman's concept of "Love Language" I thought it...
Day 24: You Will Never Be Fully Healed 24.02.2024 12:08
For this episode I wanted to give the Elite a wake up call. Our society always alludes to perfection. If we do more if we work harder we will finally step into these best versions of ourselves. We will be fully healed. We won't be the sucky wimp that we are right now. And it works! Because we always have room to improve! So, it's not very hard to convince us that if we just bought their program or...
Day 23: How to Build Self Trust 23.02.2024 23:10
On this episode I wanted to walk you through one of the major pillars of self love. One that a lot of the time we don't even correlate to self love and one that we may not realize just how much we may lack. I start the episode by explaining what self trust truly is, because my philosophy is if you aren't 100% clear on what it is it's going to make it that much harder to attain it. I then elaborate...
Day 22: Are You More Resistant to Evolution Than You Realize? 22.02.2024 25:08
On this episode I walk the Elite through indicators that you are more resistant to your own evolution than you may be ready to acknowledge. It's one of the most mind blowing revelations especially for us personal growth folk because we believe so deeply in being open and receptive to whatever is thrown our way. We have growth mindsets and want to continue to develop. But, we really aren't able to...
Day 21: Eliminate Your Negative Thoughts For Real This Time 21.02.2024 10:34
Leaning how to rid yourself of your negative thoughts is something people have been trying to figure out forever. It is one of the most commonly asked questions how to cultivate a more positive mindset. And because self love is definitely not having negative thoughts it is important how to learn how to minimize them as much as we can. On this episode I explain to you the reason why we have these n...
Day 20: Learning Your Needs 20.02.2024 14:40
A topic that continues to surface in our discussing about self love is making sure our needs are met. Today I want to talk to you guys about learning what your needs are. That way, you can begin to bring them into your life as consistently as possible and finally reach your full potential of self love that you can achieve and step into the best version of yourself you know you are capable of becom...
Day 19: How to Cultivate a Self Love Mindset with Dr. Jane Tornatore 19.02.2024 51:25

She explores the process of helping individuals attain self-love by identifying and clearing blocks that hinder it. They also emphasized the need to unlearn negative self-perceptions that emerge from unmet needs in childhood. Dr. Tornator...
Day 18: Comparison Can Grow Your Self Love 18.02.2024 12:29
The idea of this sounds crazy on the surface. Especially because we are always taught to stop comparing ourselves to others. And I agree! It is a bad habit. But, the bad habit isn't comparison itself, it's comparison leading to negative feelings about ourself like jealousy, putting ourselves down, and feeling inadequate. All comparison is is assessing similarities and difference and that can also...
Day 17: Developing a Safe Environment 17.02.2024 14:37
This is a topic that I believe is not talked about often enough in regards to self love. While self love is developed internally we cannot deny the ways that our external influences impact us. It is going to be a hell of a lot harder to love yourself if there are people in your ear making you feel like you aren't good enough, are putting you down, make you feeling you can't be your authentic self...
Day 16: Push Yourself to Say Yes 16.02.2024 19:35
I don't want to contradict yesterday episode by empowering you to say no, but it is equally as important to push yourself out of your comfort zone and start saying yes. I am very adamant on not ever telling the Elite to do anything because they thinking they "should" or because they're "supposed to" and allow me to promise you that is not changing for this episode. I provide insight on two differe...
Day 15: How to Say No 15.02.2024 18:51
Saying no is a very common thing people struggle with and I am no exception. I still find it uncomfortable to say no when I have to because I have this underlying feeling like I am being rude and have a deep rooted old habit of people pleasing. On this episode I walk you guys through some other options to say no, but spend a majority of the time letting you guys know why it's okay to say no. I am...
Day 14: How to Build Self Worth 14.02.2024 20:16
I don't think there is enough information about there about HOW to actually build self worth. It mostly consists of letting us know that it's something we should already have. As one of the pillars of self love and on a day like Valentine's Day that we get so worked up over our worthiness, I thought it would be beneficial to provide you guys with tangible steps you can complete in order to begin b...
Day 13: What Does Confidence Really Mean? 13.02.2024 19:01
I think confidence has a lot of misconceptions surrounding it creating almost a god like, perfect, intimidating persona around it making it seem really unachievable. On this episode, I wanted to break down what confidence is NOT in order to create a better understanding of what confidence is. I end the episode with the truth behind what confidence really is and a relatively easy way to begin to at...
Day 12: Loving Yourself Single & in a Relationship with Bethany Nicole 12.02.2024 1:10:57
For this Monday's episode I wanted to discuss the difference between loving yourself when you're single and loving yourself in a relationship because there is a difference. I sat down with relationship expert Bethany Nicole Barton and we discussed the importance of self-love in singlehood, the societal pressure to be in a relationship, our personal experiences and beliefs about relationships, unde...

I start the episode explaining the fear, why we have it, and what needs to happen in order to overcome it. I then walk you through 5 tactics that will help you begin utilizing your voice in everyday conversation in...
Day 10: Standing Up for Yourself 10.02.2024 20:18
Standing up for yourself is one of the most important skills you can learn to improve yourself love. If you often find yourself being afraid standing up for yourself will cause aggression or drama or you're afraid of confrontation I walk you all the through overcoming that fear so you can feel capable of advocating for yourself. I provide tips on how to execute this in a very doable way as well as...
Day 9: Self Talk 09.02.2024 19:40
For a very saturated topic I didn't want to just talk to you guys about the importance and how different your life would be if you just talked nicely to yourself. Even though that's true, we've all heard that advice and it still doesn't make you talk any nice to yourself when bad shit inevitably pops up in your life. Today, I wanted to talk to you about how I do not believe in positive self talk....
Day 8: Overcome the Opinions of Others 08.02.2024 16:55
I believe that the opinions of other people play a really big role in our ability to love ourselves. A big reason for that being that we are constantly given these ideas of what's right and wrong like we discussed in episode 6 and that is how we determine whether or not we're worthy of our own self love. On this episode I discuss the three areas we typically internalize people's opinions (family,...
Day 7: How to Validate Yourself 07.02.2024 20:23
One of the biggest and most important lessons in my personal self love journey was learning how to validate myself internally and not needing to rely on external results in order to feel genuine validity. I never resonated with anything I read or listened to because I needed to learn how to do it for myself specifically. This episode is meant to inspire ideas of how you can validate yourself in yo...
Day 6: Your Thoughts Aren't Yours 06.02.2024 11:07
On this episode of the 28 Days of Self love we are bringing awareness to all the areas in every corner of our life that we have created mindsets, perceptions, and thoughts were not created from our own minds but from what we have been exposed to. When we understand that our thoughts are not ours it is easier to decide what to do with the ideas we have been given in our life and decide what we woul...
Day 5: Body Image with Heather Gale 05.02.2024 52:56
To honor our typical Monday release during the 28 Days of Self Love, Sarah and Heather engaged in a conversation about the significance of body image and the role of somatics in healing. They discussed the impact of external messages on body image and self-worth. They also explored the role of exercise and healthy eating in maintaining a positive body image. Heather and Sarah discussed the importa...
Day 4: Acceptance & Surrender 04.02.2024 12:55
I promise this episode will not be butterflies and rainbows and telling you how you just need to accept who you are as you are. I understand more than anyone else that you want to continue to become a better version of yourself. There is this subconscious idea that if we accept who we are that we no longer will be working on ourselves and that is not true. We need acceptance and surrender in order...
Day 3: Defining Who You Are 03.02.2024 14:57
In order to authentically love yourself you need to know who you love. But knowing who you are can feel like such a daunting concept to dig through. It can feel overwhelming and confusing. This episode is not going to help you define who you are, but feel at ease doing it. Sarah finishes the episode solidifying you knowing of who you are by connecting it back to self love.
