Episode notes
Five years ago, I started Wellish because I believed the right advice could help us become better versions of ourselves. Hundreds of conversations and several identity crises later, I’ve realized that many of us aren’t using self-improvement because we believe in ourselves—we’re using it to finally feel good enough.
In this anniversary episode, I’m sharing the real story behind Wellish: the wound that started it, how my relationship with personal growth changed, and why the podcast became a rebellion against self-rejection disguised as self-improvement.
We’re talking about the pressure to become your “best self,” the knowledge-to-skill gap, learning to trust yourself without having everything figured out, and what I want the next five years of Wellish to stand for.
You can want to grow without making your current self the enemy. Happy five years, Wellish besties. 🤍
