F*ck Wellness

If you can't tell from our show intros and seamless transitions, we are extremely polished and professional podcasters. No, but really, we may not be professional podcasters, but we are pretty good advice-givers. Listen this week to hear about some very real, very hard stuff we are currently navigating and why we believe that slow healing is fast healing.

If you're listening to this, we love you and are wishing you a Happy Valentine's Day!!! Nothing makes us happier than hearing how you connect with our stories and lives. We mean it, we are beyond grateful for you. If this was 6th grade again, we for sure would have a paper valentine to give you.

Welcome to our vent session. A special treat, the crew is recording together in San Francisco to tell you about some recent gym horror stories. We're not sure about you, but "big gym" is getting to us with its January marketing, despicable warm-ups, and anatomically-questionable workouts. We are here to make sure you know that you do not have to subscribe to these marketing tactics and you are 100% enough just as you are.

Have a gym horror story to tell us? We'd love it if you shared it with us. Connect with us below!

Who's ready for some New Year's Resolutions? GUYS.... come on! You know us better than that (but if you're listening for the first time, please know that we are not resolutions girlies).  Instead, join us for our last episode of 2023 where we recap our tumultuous but transformative year, our top podcast episodes for the year, and what intentions we are bringing into 2024.

A special (and sappy) end-of-year love letter to you:
We love having this special little space with you. Thank you for helping us celebrate our wins, holding space for us when we are sad, and most importantly for sharing your life experiences with us. It means the most. We love you!!

Will the world crumble if I ask for help? Am I capable of intimacy? Are my friends just pretending to be friends with me? Should walkie-talkies be our new form of communication? This episode is DEEP with therapy thoughts, existential crises, and new beginnings. Don't be surprised if you have a few revelations during your listen...

Have you heard of the app Quinn? Well, buckle up because Makena tried it and is here to give her honest review...and it's juicy! In a seamless transition, Mal then shares how she identified her core values and Lara introduces the concept of 90 day dinners and why she thinks everyone should be doing this (with friends or by yourself)! In true best-friend fashion, we hit on all the topics this week.
