Season 3
In this episode of Wellish, I dive deep into the idea of chasing goals that might not actually be yours. Are you pursuing things because they align with your true desires—or because social media, societal pressures, or validation-seeking have convinced you that you should? I share personal stories about career goals, social expectations, and wellness routines to explore how easy it is to confuse what you think you want with what truly fulfills you. Listen in to uncover the difference between genuine desires and external influences, signs you might be chasing goals that aren’t aligned with you, and actionable tips to reconnect with what you actually want. Plus, I share a journaling prompt to help you reflect on your current goals and discover whether you want it or just think you do. Let’s let go of what doesn’t serve us and make space for what truly does.

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.
