Wellness Trends & Building a Self-Care Practice That Actually Serves You
Episode Summary In this episode, we get real about the messy, modern reality of self-care - the pressure, the perfectionism, and the performative routines that leave us feeling more depleted than grounded. Instead of chasing every trendy ritual the internet swears will “fix your life,” we explore what it means to build a wellness practice that actually supports you. Expect a grounded conversation on slowing down, choosing what truly nourishes you, and letting go of the idea that self-care is a productivity project. Because wellness isn’t supposed to feel like another to-do list - it’s supposed to feel like coming home to yourself.Key TakeawaysWellness was never meant to stress you out - if it is, something’s off.Somewhere along the way, self-care became a full-time job…and that’s not the vibe.Bring in what aligns with your life, not what trends tell you to do.“Optimizing everything” will burn you out faster than it will ground you.Nourishment > performance.Not every wellness trend is meant for everyone - and that’s okay.Supportive wellness is foundational to long-term health and emotional balance.Personalizing your self-care is where true transformation happens.If self-care feels like a chore, it’s time to recalibrate.The goal is balance: rituals that fill you up, not drain you.🎧 Hit subscribe and join us for new episodes each week!
