Ep. 18 | I’m Not Anti “Wellness”....Well, Maybe a Little Mar 06, 2025

“We have more 'wellness' available to us than ever before. More wellness influencers, podcasts and books - yet I don’t know one woman who is truly well,”

Do you? Between the women I work with online, to the women in my real life, I don’t know anyone who isn’t struggling in some way, either physically or mentally. Yet we have more “wellness” available to us than ever before. Today on the show, I’m stepping back and asking the bigger question around wellness culture, why we’re not genuinely feeling well, and what we can do about it. You, me, and women everywhere are not broken, but the systems we’re living in are. It’s time for a liberation.

Today on WithIn:

The unexpected path I took to find myself within the wellness industry
How I came to realize that what I needed wasn’t more ‘wellness’
The paradox that the wellness industry sells us
How systems of oppression affect our wellness and how we can break free
Embracing authenticity in a filtered world

WithIn Podcast | Trailer Oct 24, 2024

Welcome to Within – a podcast where we empower women to break free from the unrealistic standards that keep us disconnected from our true selves. I'm Katie, and like many women, I’ve felt the invisible pressure to be anyone other than who I really am.

From body image to career, marriage, and motherhood, the message was clear: I wasn’t enough. But I believe there's a different way to live. In Within, we unravel the programming of perfectionism, shame, and overwhelm that so many of us carry. Together with thought leaders, experts, and everyday women, we explore what it means to reclaim our worth, shed the need for perfection, and live authentically.

If you're tired of the chase and ready to reimagine your life on your own terms, join me each week for raw, real conversations about mindful living, aging, sobriety, wellness, and more. The life you're longing for already exists within. It’s time to remember.
