About this podcast
Wellish is for people who can turn even the best self improvement advice into proof they're still not good enough. Hosted by Sarah Ritondale, Wellish filters the advice you're already consuming through enoughness, acceptance and real life. Together, we figure out what's genuinely useful, what needs translating and what you can leave behind especially if you are more type B, hard on yourself or tired of treating every imperfect habit like a flaw in your character. Come for casual confessions, honest conversations and practical help for growing without making who you are today the enemy. Because you can become more without believing you're less right now.
