Dry Everuary Jan 11, 2023

Show notes

At the start of a new year, a chorus of your peers may proclaim that they are giving up wine, beer, and spirits for a month in order to reset after an overly indulgent holiday season. But cultural shifts suggest that even more alcohol-free rituals may follow us well past January. With more alcohol alternatives at our disposal and an increased desire for mindful yet pleasurable ways to unwind, how will sidestepping certain beverages impact the way we gather?

HOST: Taylor Camille, Director of Podcasts at Well+Good

GUEST: Morgan McLachlan, Co-Founder and Chief Product Officer at De Soi takes a look at changes to our cultural rituals and why we’re seeking more pleasure from the beverages we consume.

What Is "Good Enough"? Jan 04, 2023

Show notes

In constantly striving for more out of life, many people ask themselves who makes a good partner, how to feel fulfilled at work, and what is the best to better oneself. The pressure to make something “good enough” is even greater at the start of a new year, when forming new habits and drawing new boundaries is top of mind.

For our latest episode, in support of discovering the good, psychotherapist and writer Lia Avellino, LCSW, helps us differentiate between moments of complacency and the times we must find acceptance in our unique journeys through life.

HOST: Ella Dove, Sr. Director of Creative Development at Well+Good

GUEST: Lia Avellino, LCSW, CEO + Co-Founder of Spoke reminds us to separate the external markers of success from our internal desires and to acknowledge that being good enough does not mean you have to be perfect.

Really Start Dressing Nov 09, 2022

Show notes

So much of fashion is wrapped up in the pressure to conform while simultaneously telling you that your body isn't good enough for the "cool clothes." But what you wear can transform your self-confidence in unexpected ways. Your personal style doesn't have to define you. But it can be an expressive extension of yourself that doesn't feel like a chore.

In this week’s episode, we're having a conversation with fashion psychologist Shakaila Forbes-Bell, MA, and wardrobe stylist Sophie Strauss to talk about the profoundly positive power of dressing up in all its forms.

HOST: Taylor Camille, Director of Podcasts at Well+Good

GUESTS:

Shakaila Forbes-Bell, Fashion Psychologist and author of ‘Big Dress Energy’

Sophie Strauss, Stylist

WHAT WE TALKED ABOUT:

Shakaila shares her 4,3,2,1 rule for how she approaches shopping for new items along with many other studies that give insight into our relationship with our clothes. You can find more from Shakaila here.

Sophie reminds us that we can all use a little help in finding your personal style and that sometimes it requires playing dress up. You can find more from Sophie here and see her services on her website here.
