Show overview
Wellish has been publishing since 2022, and across the 4 years since has built a catalogue of 250 episodes. That works out to roughly 150 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a weekly cadence, with the show now in its 4th season.
Episodes typically run twenty to thirty-five minutes — most land between 20 min and 49 min — though episode length varies meaningfully from one episode to the next. The publisher flags most episodes as explicit, so expect adult themes or strong language throughout. It is catalogued as a EN-language Education show.
The show is actively publishing — the most recent episode landed yesterday, with 48 episodes already out so far this year. The busiest year was 2023, with 72 episodes published. Published by Sarah Ritondale.
From the publisher
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.
