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.

S4 Ep 232This is what genuinely made me feel effortlessly happy | Confessions of a Wellish Girly

E

this week’s episode is a confession of genuine good feeling compared to the typically more negative onesI had a moment where this week that I realized I felt truly happy with myself and my life and it caught me off guard because nothing huge changed, i just made a decision about who I am and started showing up like that despite any fear that comes up for me.We’re talking about what happens when you stop going back and forth with yourself, start letting fear guide you instead of stop you, and actually follow through on the version of you you say you want to be.This isn’t about steps that will fix your whole life, it’s about why things start to feel better when you finally have your own back.

S4 Ep 231Why Your Relationship Might Be the Reason Your Life Feels Off with Melissa Nanavati

E

You can have the routines, the goals, the ambition, and the self-improvement habits and still feel like something in your life is off.In this episode, I’m talking with relationship coach for high performers Melissa Nanavati about the part of your lifestyle that affects your energy, peace, and daily rhythm more than you might realize: your relationships.We talk about why ambitious people often know how to create success in work but not always in love, how unresolved issues quietly drain your energy, and what it actually looks like to build a relationship that supports the life you’re trying to create instead of making it harder to live.We also get into Melissa’s BRAVE framework for hard conversations, the four types of relational courage, why fear is actually a compass for growth, and how to stop treating love like something that has to compete with your ambition.If you’ve ever felt like your life looks good on paper but doesn’t fully feel good to live, or like your relationship patterns are affecting your peace more than you want to admit, this episode is for you.B.R.A.V.E.

S4 Ep 228You’ve outgrown your old identity, now what?

E

You don’t actually want to be this version of yourself anymore so why do you keep acting like them? In this episode, we’re talking about what it really takes to let go of your old identity the habits, reactions, and patterns that feel automatic but don’t align with who you’re trying to become. Because here’s the part no one talks about: becoming a new version of yourself does NOT feel empowering at first. It feels uncomfortable, awkward, and maybe a little fake. We’re getting into:-Why discomfort doesn’t mean you’re doing it wrong-how to actually stop repeating old patterns (in a realistic way)-and the subtle signs you’re finally becoming someone newIf you feel stuck between who you’ve been and who you want to be this is for you
