Wellish

The way you see yourself today is deeply connected to the experiences you had as a child. Many of us carry unhealed childhood wounds—whether it’s fear of abandonment, people-pleasing, perfectionism, or self-doubt—without even realizing how they shape our self-worth as adults. But here’s the truth: healing your inner child is one of the most powerful ways to deepen self-love.In today’s episode, we’re exploring: What the inner child is and how it affects your self-worth, signs your childhood wounds might still be influencing your life, how reparenting yourself can break old patterns and strengthen self-love, and simple ways to connect with and heal your inner child.Daily Challenge: Do one thing today that your inner child would love—something playful, comforting, or expressive.Journal Prompt: What is one message your inner child needed to hear but didn’t? How can you give yourself that reassurance now?Your inner child is still within you—and they deserve the love and care you may not have received in the past. Let’s start healing together.

Criticism is inevitable—but it doesn’t have to define you. Too often, we take other people’s opinions as truth, letting their words shape our self-worth. But here’s the reality: criticism says more about the person giving it than it does about you.In today’s episode, we’re exploring: Why criticism feels so personal (and how to stop taking it to heart), the difference between constructive feedback and destructive criticism, how to build resilience so others’ opinions don’t shake your confidence, when to take criticism seriously—and when to let it goDaily Challenge: The next time you receive criticism, pause and ask yourself: Is this feedback valuable? Does it reflect me, or the person giving it?Journal Prompt: Think about a recent piece of criticism that stuck with you. Was it helpful or harmful? How can you detach your self-worth from others' opinions?Your worth isn’t up for debate. Let’s learn to navigate criticism without losing ourselves in it.

Why are we so quick to offer kindness to others but so harsh on ourselves? Many of us believe that self-criticism keeps us accountable, but in reality, it often leads to burnout, fear, and feeling never good enough. The truth? Self-compassion isn’t self-indulgence—it’s a tool for real growth.In today’s episode, we’re breaking down: Why self-criticism feels productive but actually holds you back, how self-compassion builds resilience, not complacency, simple ways to soften your inner dialogue and reframe negative thoughts, how to talk to yourself with the same kindness you offer othersDaily Challenge: Every time you catch yourself in self-criticism today, pause and reframe it with self-compassion.Journal Prompt: What’s a recurring negative thought you have about yourself? How can you rewrite it with kindness instead of criticism?Your growth doesn’t come from beating yourself up—it comes from supporting yourself through the process. Let’s start practicing self-compassion together.

The way you talk about yourself shapes your reality. If you’ve ever caught yourself saying, “I’m not good enough,” “I always fail,” or “I’ll never change,”—those thoughts aren’t just passing comments; they’re stories you’ve been telling yourself. But here’s the truth: you have the power to rewrite them.In this episode, we’re diving into: how the stories you tell yourself impact your self-worth and confidence, identifying limiting beliefs that are holding you back, steps to challenge and rewrite negative narratives and how small actions can reinforce a new, empowering self-story.Daily Challenge: Identify one negative story you’ve been telling yourself and rewrite it with self-compassion and possibility.Journal Prompt: What’s a story you’ve told yourself about who you are that no longer serves you? How can you reframe it into something that empowers you?Your past narrative doesn’t define you—you do. Let’s start rewriting your story together.

We’ve been told to love our bodies, but what if that feels impossible some days? While body positivity encourages self-love, it can sometimes feel like another expectation to meet. That’s where body neutrality comes in—shifting the focus from how your body looks to what your body does for you.In this episode, we’ll explore: The difference between body positivity and body neutrality, why you don’t have to love your body’s appearance to respect it, how shifting focus to function can free you from constant self-criticism, and simple ways to start practicing body neutrality in your daily lifeDaily Challenge: Choose one thing your body does for you (that has nothing to do with appearance) and thank it for that today.Journal Prompt: If you weren’t focused on how your body looked, how would your relationship with yourself change?Your body is not an ornament—it’s an instrument. Let’s start treating it that way.

We’re always waiting for the big moments to feel happy—dream jobs, perfect relationships, exciting trips. But what if self-love is actually built in the smallest moments of our daily lives? Today, we’re diving into the art of romanticizing your life—how shifting your perspective on the ordinary can make your everyday routine feel more fulfilling, special, and deeply yours.What it really means to romanticize your life (without toxic positivity), why finding joy in small moments is an act of self-love, simple ways to turn your daily routines into meaningful rituals and how to stop living on autopilot and start appreciating right nowDaily Challenge: Pick one simple daily habit and make it feel special today—whether it’s making your morning coffee an experience, playing music while cleaning, or taking a mindful walk to soak in your surroundings.Journal Prompt: What are three small things in your daily life that bring you joy?

Perfectionism tricks us into believing that if we just work harder, do better, and fix every flaw, we’ll finally feel worthy.

Do you ever feel emotionally drained after spending time with certain people? Do your daily habits support self-love, or are they rooted in self-doubt? Are you stuck in an environment that makes you question your worth? We’ll break down the hidden self-love killers and how to start noticing these patterns in your own life.

Self-love isn’t a one-time achievement—it evolves as we grow, face new challenges, and learn more about ourselves. In today’s episode, we’re kicking off the 28 Days of Self-Love challenge by exploring how our definition of self-love shifts through different life stages. Maybe self-love used to mean having the perfect routine, but now it looks like setting boundaries or giving yourself permission to rest. Maybe it meant seeking external validation, but now it’s about prioritizing your own needs. No matter where you are in your journey, self-love is constantly changing—and that’s okay. Join me as we unpack the myths of a “perfect” self-love journey, why comparison holds us back, and how to embrace self-love in the stage of life you’re in right now.

I've got a confession to make: I've always felt a little...resistant when it comes to traditional "mom culture." You know, mom as a personality trait, the Pinterest-perfect lifestyle, and the endless #MomLife posts on social media. But why do we feel this judgement? In this episode, I'm digging deep to unpack the discomfort with embracing that full on 'mom' identity and what that really looks like. Is it just fear of losing ourselves, or is there something more behind the resistance? We are talking with personal trainer, yoga instructor, CEO, business woman and, of course, mom, Sarah Praise to have an honest conversation about what is causing our resistance to motherhood and how even if we decide to become a mom, that doesn't mean you have to sacrifice who you are. Spoiler alert: it's okay if you don't fit the mold. Let's embrace the messy, non traditional feeling towards motherhood together.

On this weeks solo episode I am telling you the story of my engagement!!! More than that though, I am sharing life lessons that thoroughly absorbed within me from experiencing this major life choice.

On this weeks episode I wanted to bring a little science and research to why the h*ll we can't seem to reach happiness. Turns out we have been focusing on the wrong things.

I review the most common things we think will make us happy, but don't and the proof it doesn't work. I end the episode reviewing why they don't make us happy and the one thing we do have control over that can help us work towards happiness, so we can stop wasting energy on what doesn't. If you are tired of working hard to be happy and feeling you consistently lack results this episode is for you.

Hi friends. I ditched ya'll last week and I apologize. The reason was this right here. I just haven't been mentally 100% at my best. A lot of overthinking, a lot of self depreciation and I just didn't have the mental capacity for an episode. I decided, even though I still wasn't at my best by the time I recorded this episode, that 1) I wasn't missing two weeks in a row and 2) this is what Well ISH is all about. No matter how many tools you have in your self improvement tool belt, there are still mental lows we go through and you are not a failure because of it. Hang out with me and let's get back to our best selves at our own pace <3P.S. if you are having consistent feelings of overwhelming and heavy emotion Call 988 or Text 988 or Chat 988lifeline.org/chat for the Suicide and Crisis Hotline.

On this weeks episode I am discussing a fear that is very close to home, but in today's social media era not uncommon. Many of us work hard to not settle constantly being exposed to more of people's highlights in their life than they are to real life experiences. We are living in a time right now that if you follow the traditional path you feel like you are at risk of not living a fulfilled life. I want to show you in this episode how this fear is causing that to happen simply by having it more than it would if you allowed yourself to let it go, give yourself permission to be okay with your life, AND what you need to do in order to not feel like you are living a life that you don't like. If you are constantly trying to level up but never feel good enough or like you're doing it right this episode is for you.

This week I sat down with relationship coach Bethany Nic0le to discuss people generosity to feed their own validation, sense of worthiness, coerce you to do something you're not comfortable with, not allow you to set boundaries etc. we discuss how to cope with people who use generosity as a means of controlling you through validating themselves,, a means of preventing you to set boundaries, and ensuring you behave in a specific way. We also discuss how to ensure you do not behave this way, and if you do working to move away from it and not feel shame by it. We also discuss how to keep these people at bay when you cannot just cut them out of your life. If you are someone who has felt people do things just to get something out of you, this episode is for you.

On this episode I wanted to talk about something that you may not realize when you begin to really heal. How many issues come up in several relationships in your life and for a variety of reasons. You don't realize the correlation between your healing and why your connections with other tend to struggle. It can leave you feeling alone, confused, like you're not good enough, like you're doing something wrong, pushing against your healing efforts even further. If you feel like you have been experiencing push back in your relationships lately, this episode is for you.

On this week's solo episode I walk through the Elite through several indicators that are telling of whether or not you're settling in your relationship. From subtle to obvious red flags you will not finish this episode without knowing in your heart whether or not you're settling in your relationship even if you're not ready to admit it to yourself yet. While you may feel upset and disappointed this episode WILL NOT make you feel like you are doing something wrong for still being in the relationship and pressure you to leave immediately. This episode is solo for awareness in order to become the best version of yourself and create a life you love. Whether you want are unsure and in denial, single and want to know what not to allow in a relationship, or you just need validation this episode is for you.

On this solo episode I dive into my most highly requested episode: how the hell did you have the courage to start posting on social media? SO many of the Elite want to know how I started, why I started, and what steps I took to create my podcast and have the courage to post on social media. I tell you guys my story from very beginning up until the creation of my first episode and lessons that I have learned since episode 1 in effort to help you see similarities between the two of us to highlight your own capability of creating something of your own. Throughout the episode I provide insights on what I think works best, how I overcame my fears, the best strategies I have found, and my step by step process in getting started including the actual equipment, programs, and websites I use to make Wellish possible. I end the episode with my best advice in overcoming the fear of posting online and guidance to help you find value in your content that is more than just money or following that will drive you to make content without worrying about the fear of other people's opinions. If you want to create ANYTHING not just a podcast or content online, but don't know where to start or feel afraid to start, this episode is for you.

No body, no matter how self improved they are is perfect. Even more, you typically have to experience some pretty toxic thoughts and actions to learn your lesson and get to a healthier spot because you know you did not like how that felt. Today, I wanted to bring you to the toxic side of Wellish and let you in on my cringiest regrets. I am telling you 4 stories that to this day make my skin crawl because of how embarrassed I am by the way my toxic brain chose to operate at that point in time, to help you learn from my mistakes and hopefully help knock some sense into you before you engage in some cringe city behavior. I follow each story up with the lesson I learned and how my self improved brain interprets the reason I acted out of pocket. If you need validation for your radical behavior or just an entertaining story time this episode is for you.

For the final episode of the 28 Days of Self Love I wanted to elaborate on the importance of putting intention towards self love and how it is the back bone of becoming your Elite self. I discuss how if we lost everything else, but had self love we would still be able to rebuild our self love, the most common mistake most people make in regards to self love on their journey to becoming their best self, and what self love will provide for your life. If you are in a vicious cycle of trying to become your best self and think that once you do you will love yourself this episode is for you.

I wanted to give you tools to carry with you for a long time after the series ends. Self soothing tools to make your feel safe. Tools to help your racing mind find a place of ease so you can think with more clarity and gain control of you overwhelm, overactive mind, high emotions, or whatever you are experiencing. No matter how far along you are in your self love journey you will benefit from these tools because even the "most healed" person (if that even exists) experiences negative emotions. While these tools will not solve your challenges, they will allow you to make clear decisions that you feel good about leading to you living a life of your choice. If your mind gets the best of you all the time or just once in awhile this episode is for you.

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, relationship problems, mental health crisis and post-natel depression. Shannon expresses how nobody around her really knew what she was experiencing. "I hated myself, my life and being a mother and I felt like if I told anyone what was really going on I would be judged or people wouldn't believe me or if they did my kids would get taken from me." She goes on to explain her breakthrough that cause her to turn her whole life around. She explains how she worked to cut out toxic people and habits, grow her self confidence, quit university and set up her business of double award winning mindfulness coaching. She discusses how she is a much better, more present and happier parent, her improved health and energy and the her gratitude for life. If you are looking for a sense of hope that it is possible that you too will get to a place of self love, this episode is for you.

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 would help to focus the 5 love languages on ourselves. I walk you through the meaning being the 5 different love languages and they ways you could apply them to yourself for an extra boost of self love. If you feel like you could be doing more to love yourself this episode is for you.

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 followed their social media we could potentially get the result we want. And it's worth a shot right? So if we can't be perfect what does healed look like? If you feel you work your a$$ off to become the best version of yourself and you always come up short this episode is for you.

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 on several of the most common ways we can lose our own trust to help bring awareness to all the areas you may be causing or have caused your own distrust with out even realizing it. I end the episode with a series of ways you can work to gain in back in a realistic attainable, and relatable way. If you are constantly questioning yourself this episode is for you.

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 develop as much as we feel we really should be. Somehow we are mentally so much farther than we are physically. We are discussing allowing ourselves to evolve when we want to and when life forces us to. I provide you some self soothing tools to allow you to create a life you are obsessed with as soon as you start embracing your own evolution. If you are someone who works towards your own growth, but hasn't progressed as much as you feel you should, this episode is for you.

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 negative thoughts because knowing why makes it a lot easier to understand and even love that we have them and then I give you my 3 step process to eliminating the negative thoughts with enough practice and time. If you are someone who's mind seems to always drift back to the negative, this episode is for you.

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 becoming. We seem to really forget to remember to sus out what our needs are. This episode will trigger that awareness and reflection in your everyday life and tell you exactly what to keep an eye out for. If you feel you are often unhappy and unfulfilled or at least could have more happiness and fulfillment in your life, this episode is for you.

On this episode, I sat down with Dr. Jane Tornatore, a self-love expert and therapist, and discussed the importance of self-love and its impact on mental health. 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. Tornatore provides several mind-blowing mindset shifts that will open up even someone with the most negative mindset to the possibility of loving yourself. No matter where you are on your road trip to self love this episode will open your eyes to the ways you could express self love even further.

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 lead to feelings of neutrality or even inspiration. On this episode I talk to the Elite about how to use comparison to their advantage in self love because most of the time comparing ourselves to others is an automatic reaction. But choosing what to do with that reaction is our choice. If you struggle with measuring your value when comparing yourself to others this episode is for you.

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 etc. It's also not going to be helpful if you are putting yourself in positions of discomfort, like continuously showing up for things you hate, not getting yourself in a financially stable situation, maintaining a clear house. If our enviroment is unstable it's more likely than not that we will be to. You can only build you self love so much in these circumstances and you will not be able to truly flourish to your full potential. If you feel your ability to love yourself may potentially be stunted by your surroundings, this episode is for you.

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 different areas for why you should be saying yes to more things in your life. One, to help you better align with the best version of yourself and two to live a life you authentically love. I then dive into all of the ways saying yes will enhance your life. But, don't worry I will never tell you to do something you do not want to do. If you have a hard time pushing yourself out of your comfort zone this episode is for you.

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 giving you guys the prompts that I have found bring me the most success to tell myself in my head when I am feeling afraid of saying no. This episode will empower you to live more aligned with your ideal life. If you are someone who often feels afraid when they have the opportunity to say no this episode is for you.

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 building on your self worth. I start by explaining what self worth it, because it's easier to incorporate it into your life when you truly understand what it is, and then dive into several different ways that you can improve upon it. If you often feel like you aren't good enough this episode is for you.
