Is it okay if my definition of well-being looks different from everyone else’s? | Drop Your Noise Podcast ft Romano Dolbey
Have you ever wondered " Why is my version of well-being a little bit different from everyone's else?" In this episode, I sat down with my guest Romano (lawyer, dad, kayak fisher) explore what it truly means to define well-being on your own terms.Romano shares how growing up close to nature in South Africa shaped his unique take on mental and physical wellness and why kayak fishing (not meditation or the gym) brings him calm and joy today. We explore kayak fishing as meditation, why men’s self-care needs flexibility, and how to stop apologizing for doing wellness your own way.”In our conversation we hope it helps with questions like:
- Is it normal for my self-care to look different from others?
- How do I find wellness habits that work for me?
- Why do I feel stressed about “doing well-being right”?
- 00:00:00 - 00:01:02 | Introduction: Are we taking our well-being too seriously?
- 00:02:27 - 00:05:02 | Romano’s childhood & the roots of his personal wellness (nature, adventure)
- 00:10:09 - 00:13:29 | How kayak fishing became Romano’s outlet for calm
- 00:14:24 - 00:17:06 | Why men (and everyone) feel pressure around “the right way” to do well-being
- 00:23:32 - 00:26:33 | Parallels: Navigating tides in kayak fishing…and in everyday conversations
- 00:37:02 - 00:44:43 | Tech & social pressure: Are we losing the art of human connection in our well-being journey?
- 00:50:07 - 00:56:24 | Takeaways: Why finding joy (your way) IS well-being and how to start
