Wellish

Just because you’re not being fake doesn’t mean you’re being real. This week, we’re untangling the difference between comfort and authenticity—and why the truest version of you might not feel natural at first. I’m sharing stories about showing up loudly, being labeled “scary” (aka confident) by men, and realizing that what I thought was growth was actually just survival mode.We’re breaking down:The myth that discomfort = inauthenticityHow nervous system dysregulation can make confidence feel impossibleWhy confidence isn’t polished—it’s raw, messy devotion to your real selfWhat to do when the version of you you’ve always fantasized about finally shows up—and feels fakeThis is your permission to stop calling your loud, vibrant, too-much self “too much.” She’s not fake—she’s free.PLUS: I answer a listener’s question on how to tell the difference between healing solitude and accidental isolation.

This week’s episode is a full-blown spiral turned breakthrough.First, I’m breaking down the friendship anxiety no one talks about—the kind that doesn’t hit during the hangout, but after, when you’re stuck replaying everything you said and wondering if you were too much.Then, we’re talking about what it really means to be “too loud,” “too emotional,” or “too sensitive”—and how being told I’m too much my whole life made me start shrinking myself without even realizing it.Finally, I’m sharing the secret formula I’ve been using to create a life that actually feels full—without burning out or trying to become a brand-new person overnight. (Spoiler: it’s called the D.A.T.E. method and it might change your life.)This one’s messy, honest, and low-key healing. If you’ve been feeling like you're spiraling, shrinking, or just going through the motions… this one’s for you.

I’m moving out of my healing den and into my new city life (!!), but before I pack up, I had to sit down and record a mini-episode with three mindsets that are seriously saving my sanity lately. If you’ve been overthinking your future, spiraling after social plans, or stuck in your feelings — this one’s for you. We’re talking:Living in the short term and how to let your calendar hold the weight of your futureGiving yourself permission to get it wrong — in friendships, healing, and everyday lifeWhy motion (not reinvention) is the real cure for spirals and sadnessIt’s messy, real, and recorded mid-life-shift. Come hang out for a quick dose of self-compassion, mindset shifts, and the chaotic cozy energy of your favorite bestie who’s figuring it out right alongside you. 💌

You don’t need more willpower. You need a new story.In this episode, I’m breaking down why so many of us feel stuck—even when we’re trying—and how your identity, not your discipline, is what’s really running the show. I’ll share the brain science behind why we repeat the same patterns, the tiny identity anchors that helped me stop tying my worth to productivity, and how to finally shift into the version of you you know is in there… without forcing it.This one’s for the girl who’s trying, but still feels like she’s failing. You’re not. You’re just focusing on the wrong thing.

If you’ve been spiraling about whether you’re making the right moves, doing enough, or working hard enough to finally live the life you want—this episode is for you.

You’ll learn how to soften your grip when panic hits, how to stop chasing alignment and start attracting it, and why the most powerful thing you can do sometimes… is nothing.Let this episode be your permission slip to stop forcing it, just for today.

You’re doing the mindset work. You’ve got the vision. You know who you want to be. So why does it still feel like something’s blocking you?This week on Wellish, we’re talking about what really keeps you from becoming your ideal self and why it has nothing to do with effort, productivity, or motivation. It has everything to do with your nervous system. If your body still thinks you’re unsafe, it will do everything it can to protect you from change... even if that change is becoming the most expressed version of yourself.We’ll unpack how Good Girl Syndrome gets wired into your nervous system, why mindset work isn’t enough on its own, and how real self-concept work begins in the body. Your ideal self isn’t someone you need to perform your way into, it’s someone you reclaim by making safety your baseline.

This week on Wellish, I’m breaking down what I’ve learned in the first 6 days of my 30 day magnetism experiment and spoiler alert: magnetism isn’t about being hot, loud, or liked by everyone. It’s about self worth, self trust, and having standards high enough to reject what doesn’t align.I’m sharing the real moment I proved this to myself: turning down an “almost perfect” apartment because it didn’t feel right energetically and how that one choice brought me the exact space I was actually looking for. We’ll also talk about the difference between being magnetic to people vs. outcomes, the misconceptions most of us have about attraction, and how to stop chasing and start receiving what’s meant for you.If you’ve ever wondered how to become more magnetic, start here.

Are you understanding, empathetic and low maintenance or are you abandoning yourself?We’re unpacking the subtle, sneaky ways self abandonment shows up in your everyday life. From lowering your standards because it's more comfortable to convincing yourself you're being the bigger, emotionally mature person you might be betraying yourself without even realizing it.I’m breaking down seven signs that you’ve been disappearing on yourself in the name of peace, perception, and protection. This isn't a lame self improvement listicle, it's real life examples that indiciate you could be holding yourself back from living your ideal life as your ideal self all because you are not showing up in authenticity. And if you were quick to reject that could be you...you're abandoning yourself right now!!

Are you healing… or hiding? In this episode of Wellish, we’re calling out the sneaky way self-improvement can become a full-blown identity crisis. Healing is powerful—but it was never meant to be your whole personality. If you’ve wrapped your sense of self around your trauma, your therapy speak, and doing everything “right,” this one’s for you.We’ll talk about how easy it is to over-identify with the healing era, confuse insight with action, and use emotional growth as a shield from actually living.

In this birthday episode, I’m not just reflecting on the past year—I’m sharing the 27 empowering choices I’m making this year to step into the woman I’m meant to become. Rather than dwelling on what I’ve learned, I’m focusing on intentional decisions to shape my future.I start by toasting the past versions of me that got me here, flaws and all, so we can appreciate how far we've come.

Control doesn’t just disappear when we start healing — it adapts.In this episode, we’re unpacking the sneaky ways control can morph into perfectionism, over-performing, emotional over-responsibility, and even the need to be understood — all while looking like empowerment.If you’re still feeling stuck, anxious, or frustrated after “doing the work,” you’re not broken — you’re facing the next layer of growth.Let’s break it down and talk about how to spot control in disguise and step into real emotional freedom.

In this episode of Wellish, we’re slowing down the hustle of self-improvement to talk about something real: the human side of healing. This is your reminder that needing reassurance doesn’t mean you’re weak—and feeling your feelings doesn’t make you less evolved.I share what often gets lost in the race to become “better”—like rest, softness, and the right to have an off day. If you’ve ever felt like you’re supposed to be more unbothered, more healed, more sure of yourself by now, this one’s for you. You’ll walk away feeling seen, soothed, and reminded that your growth doesn’t have to be perfect to be real.Whether you're in the middle of a spiral or just need to exhale, hit play. This episode is here to validate your humanness—no fixing required.

This episode is for the girl who’s tired of making herself smaller to be more likable. The one who’s been called too emotional, too intense, too ambitious, or too sensitive—and started to believe it. I’m sharing the things I’m no longer apologizing for: my feelings, my boundaries, my standards, my softness and my strength. If you’ve ever felt like you had to shrink to stay loved, this is your reminder that you don’t. You’re not too much. You were just around people who gave too little. Let’s stop apologizing for who we are and start owning it.

You’re doing the work. You’re trying to be calm, grounded, emotionally strong—and yet, you still spiral. You still compare yourself to people who seem more healed, more confident, more “together.” But that doesn’t mean you’re doing it wrong.In this episode, we’re talking about what real emotional growth actually looks like—hint: it’s not always pretty, perfect, or peaceful. You’ll hear why spiraling doesn’t mean you’ve failed, how to stop comparing your healing to someone else’s, and how to start honoring your own messy middle.

Ever had something fall apart that felt like the worst thing ever—only to realize later it actually led you somewhere better? In this episode, we're talking about the unpredictable, messy, magical path of life. When things don’t go the way we planned, it’s easy to panic. But what if the detour is the actual route? I am exploring why trying to control every detail usually backfires, how our definition of “good” or “bad” isn’t always accurate, and why some of our biggest disappointments end up becoming our greatest blessings. This episode is your reminder that life doesn’t need to go perfectly to unfold perfectly.

For a long time, I wished I could be meaner. Tougher. Someone who could pop off on people so that I could stop feeling taken advantage of. People have called me aggressive, and honestly, I think it’s because I’ve leaned into my masculine energy, believing my voice only holds value if I speak with authority. Thanks, society!But here’s what I’ve realized: real strength isn’t about matching someone’s bad energy. It’s about standing firm in who you are, no matter how people treat you. Kindness isn’t weakness, and being a good person doesn’t mean letting people walk all over you. In this episode, we’re breaking down why I believed I had to be aggressive to be taken seriously, the difference between kindness and being a pushover, letting go of resentment for your own peace, not for them and why staying true to your character is the ultimate form of strengthIf you’ve ever felt like you had to harden yourself just to survive, this episode will help you rethink what it really means to be strong.

I disappeared for a bit—and not by choice. Life ripped the rug out from under me in a way I never saw coming, leaving me with two options: fight against reality or lean back and let the current take me somewhere new. In this episode, I’m unpacking what happened, how I’m rebuilding, and why sometimes the best thing you can do is stop gripping so tightly and let life flow.I’ll share the mindset shifts that have kept me steady, the daily practices that strengthen your mental resilience, and how I’m learning to trust that even the messiest endings can lead to something better.

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.

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?

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.
