Episode 178: Episode 178: “Wellmania” and Idealized Wellness

Tawny and Lisa talk about the Netflix series, “Wellmania,” starring Celeste Barber. The show knocks down the idea that a fad diet or a stay at a spa will get us “well.” It’s also a realistic portrayal of the panic attacks and blacking out from anxiety that many of us have experienced. They also talk about John Mulaney’s stand-up comedy special, “Baby J.” Stories that make them think, “that used to be me,” are cathartic and a good reminder of why they stay sober. Music Minute features the Wellmania soundtrack, Bo Burnham's Inside, and Matchbox 20.  Check out Wellmania Follow Celeste Barber on Instagram.  Watch Jon Mulaney’s Baby J.  This episode is sponsored by the sober entrepreneurs at Sour Humanoid vinegar.
