F*ck Wellness

On this episode of F*ck Wellness, Makena leads a spirited conversation on the infamous "detox." The group talks about the historical, cultural, and religious roots of detoxification, the research on detoxes, and how dangerous constantly seeking optimal performance can end up being.

Each week this month, Mal, Lara, and Ken will unpack a wellness topic. This week was Makena's topic and next week we will hear Lara's. Last week Mallory led a discussion on workplace wellness. We hope you enjoy this new format (because we LOVED it).

On this episode of F*ck Wellness, Mallory leads a conversation on workplace wellness, the sworn enemy of actual employee wellbeing. Mallory talks about how problematic weight-focused workplace wellness programs are, why the best workplace programs take an individual-focused preventative take on wellness, and where the workplace wellness industry needs to move (hint: away from weight loss and step challenges towards mental health and paid parental leave).

ALSO featuring guest star, Ryan Powers, with his input on workplace wellness at his last employer. 

Each week this month, Mal, Lara, and Ken will unpack a wellness topic. This week was Mallory's topic and next week we will hear Makena's. We hope you enjoy this new format (because we LOVED it).

On this episode of F*ck Wellness, Lara, Mallory, and Makena chat about intuitive eating and joyful movement. They talk about what to say when people comment on your body, why it’s totally ok to have zero fitness goals, and the feeling of burnout & fatigue when it comes to these conversations around diet/fitness culture. Oh...and sloths!

You asked, we answered... This was our first "Ask Us Anything" episode and, low key, we had a total blast. We talk about intuition vs. emotion, what to do about boredom, our weirdest irrational fears, the last time we sobbed, and so much more.

Of course, we had to end the month with our three-peat guest, Reena SenGupta, to unpack money, manifestation, and mindsets. Reena and Makena discuss how they've started to unlearn their money stories, what abundance can feel like, and how forgiveness plays a key role in the money conversation. Follow Reena at @urban__buddha for more on self worth, soul purpose, + self expression.

On this episode of F*ck Wellness, the three girls dissect the stereotypes around wealth, privilege, and greed. They try to understand where their negative beliefs about money and rich people come from and how to start finding role models that display the kind of values they want to exhibit.

On this episode of F*ck Wellness, Brooke Benson, a financial wellness coach and AEA actor, absolutely blows our minds with her intentional, logical, and joyful perspective to money, finance, all the $$$ things. She breaks down why she doesn't like the term "budgeting"; she gives tools to break out of the money mindset (and why it's totally ok if you are in it right now); and she talks Lara through some of her big limiting beliefs about money. This episode is pure gold (get it?!) and worth every second of your time.
