The Power of Not Planning Jan 26, 2022

Show notes

Are you guilty of saving lots of inspirational quotes on Instagram that you never look at again? Us too. Sometimes when we’re in the throes of self-improvement or goal setting, it’s easy to get caught up in the planning and less in the *doing.* While there’s nothing wrong with gathering inspiration for the life you want to create, how do we take that first step to bring our vision boards to life? How do we move our goals from our bucket lists to our calendars?

HOST: Taylor Camille, Sr. Producer at Well+Good

GUESTS:

Terri Trespicio, Writer, Speaker, Brand Advisor, Author of “Unfollow Your Passion.” Check her out here.

New Year, Do You, Part 2 Jan 19, 2022

Show notes

Even though our lives don’t magically reset when the clock strikes midnight on January 1st, there’s no doubt that entering a new year gives us a newfound sense of possibility–which can make us resolution-happy. The problem is, when we put too much pressure on ourselves with a lengthy list of “shoulds,” we often end up feeling even worse. That’s why Well+Good’s 2022 ReNew Year Program is focused on refreshing and resetting our habits–not reinventing them. What if we didn’t need to change anything about ourselves to feel our best? In this episode, we sat down with a positive psychiatrist and a joy expert to answer: How can we infuse more joy in our lives this year instead of stressing about resolutions?

HOST:

Ella Dove, Director, Creative Development at Well+Good

GUESTS:

Dr. Samantha Boardman, Positive Psychiatrist, Author of “Everyday Vitality,” Founder of the “Positive Prescription” Blog

Ingrid Fetell Lee, Designer, Author of “Joyful,” and Founder of “The Aesthetics of Joy” Blog

WHAT WE TALKED ABOUT:

Dr. Samantha instructs us to be ‘deliberate about delight,’ and breaks down the best method for blocking out the ‘pings and dings’ around us. Check her out here and Positive Prescription here.

Ingrid explains that the way we’ve been thinking about joy is all wrong–but good news, making one quick mental adjustment can help us to find more of it in our day to day lives. Find her here and check out The Aesthetics of Joy here.

New Year, Do You, Part 1 Jan 12, 2022

Show notes

At Well+Good, we know that New Year's Resolutions aren’t always all they’re cracked up to be, but we also know that the start of a new year is still a great time to hit refresh. That’s why we’ve tapped industry experts to help us create our annual ReNew Year Program: a four-week plan to help you along your way to living well in 2022. The best part about our ReNew Year plan? It’s completely optional, because the pressure many of us feel to reinvent ourselves on January 1 is no joke. In today’s episode, we’re pulling the curtain back on the #1 offender when it comes to resolution-related stress: diet culture. How can we say yes to feeling better and no to cleanses, detoxes, and restrictive eating in 2022?

HOST:

Ella Dove, Director, Creative Development at Well+Good

GUESTS:

Dalina Soto, Nutritionist, Anti-Diet Dietician. Check her out here.

What’s in The Stars for 2022? Jan 05, 2022

Show notes

Take a deep breath, we made it to 2022. However, as we look to see what the new year will bring, it can be difficult to get a good sense of where we’re headed when there is so much unknown. Enter: Astrology. Whether you’re a firm believer or an astro-skeptic, looking at the planetary alignments for the year ahead can help us to stay grounded and give us a clearer idea of what we can expect in the future, even in times of uncertainty. How can we use astrology to let go of the old, welcome the new, and move forward with confidence and ease in 2022?

HOST:

Taylor Camille, Sr. Producer at Well+Good

Kirah Tabourn, Astrology Consultant and Educator, Founder of The CUSP Astrology App and Host of The Strology Show Podcast. Find Kirah here and listen to the last time we chatted with her here.

Simply The Best Dec 29, 2021

Show notes

It’s our final episode of 2021: We’ve spoken to 89 guests, 9 Well+Good team members, and recorded (and re-recorded) nearly 6,000 minutes of audio this year. It’s safe to say that since we’ve launched, we’ve gained a whole new understanding of what it means to live well–and we hope you have too. As we learned from activist and author Rachel Ricketts in our very first episode, you don’t need anything else outside of yourself to live well, it’s just a matter of re-learning what you already know. We hope that as you listened to the experts in each episode, you’ve been able to find moments that resonated with you and helped you return to yourself. Join us as we take a trip down memory lane and reflect on a few moments from our podcast that were simply the best.

On The Pursuit of Happiness Dec 01, 2021

Winter 2021 is coming: the days are getting shorter, the nights are getting longer, and the presence of a new COVID-19 variant is looming. Tldr; it’s getting harder to feel better.

How can we simultaneously steer clear of toxic positivity and find authentic ways to infuse more joy into our lives?
