Episodes
Goddammit Eileen
Eileen Rouse is a certified intuitive coach and sound healing practitioner who works where spirituality, identity, and life transitions collide. She will tell you things you already know until you finally hear them. This episode wanders into frequency, vibration, limiting words & the healing nobody clapped for. Goddammit Eileen.
Live a Delicious Life
Corree Roofener is a values-driven financial coach who filed bankruptcy at 22 and built a multi-six-figure business anyway. She does not give a damn about your profit and loss report. She wants to know if your money is buying you a life that feels good in your body. Side note — we are both wearing red glasses and the energy is immaculate.
Problems Are Portals
Erika Ristovski showed up to this conversation with a scratchy voice courtesy of a whale activation out on the ocean. I showed up with mine courtesy of too many roller coasters with my nieces. Neither of us cared. What followed was a goodie bag of quantum gold — energy fields, conscious creation, and why problems are always portals.
It's Not About Being Smaller. It's About Being Stronger
Vanesa (Vane) Nicolosi is a women's personal trainer who does not give a damn about bikini bodies. She trains women for real life — lugging suitcases, playing with grandkids, walking dogs, hiking mountains, and getting up and down off the floor without it being a whole thing. This one is warm, practical, and feels like the smell of rain. Yes really.
Dear Beast. We Need to Talk.
Soul contracts. Karma. Medical intuition. Ancestral nutrition. Cannabis education. Rachael Woosley has 21 years of nursing behind her and a whole lot of modalities in front of her — and she uses them all to get to the root cause of what's actually going on. Also the WTF wheel sent us straight to Disney and we have thoughts.
Wanna Learn Kung Fu? Yeah. It's a Wellness Thing.
Wanna learn Kung Fu online? You actually can. Verca Partikova has 25 years of martial arts experience, almost 20 MMA fights, and moved across to Asia to train at the source. You won't learn it as fast as Neo downloaded it — but you can put in the real work at your own pace from wherever you happen to be in the world.
Snakes and Ladders. Keep Rolling.
Sarah Kay Brown is a straight talking coach and author based in the UK helping people get out of their own way and start living at their optimal. She also has a Snakes and Ladders analogy for wellness that just kicks ass — and reminds you that no matter what happens you are never pushed off the board. Keep rolling.
What Is Your Relationship With Rest?
Miranda Brooking is a rest consultant — yes that's a real job and yes we need it. This one covers the five areas of rest, burnout, permission, guilt, perimenopause, cold plunges, HRT, skinny dipping in a glacier lake on Vancouver Island, and why five minutes on the floor might change your life. Rest is not lazy. Miranda said so.
Wellness Me Up Is a Question
Joby Sanchez helps high-performing people navigate addiction privately — without losing their careers, their families, or themselves. He's lived it. He coaches from it. And he turned Wellness Me Up into a question. Nobody has done that before. Just listen.
Visualize Your Foot in Your Ass
Three cancers. 9/11. Two and a half years bedridden. Four knee surgeries. Four abdominal muscles removed.Dr. Sun Pandé has been through the boot camp and came out the other side joyful, crowned, and ready to teach you how to adjust your sails.

Everybody Has a Story. Everybody Has Worth.
Speaker. Author. Growth coach. Suicide survivor. Mullet enthusiast. David Chamotzky has been through it and came out the other side with 30 years of corporate wisdom, a Lucille bat, and the firm belief that everybody has a story and everybody has worth. This one goes everywhere.

Subconscious healing, trapped emotions, grief, plant medicine, Etch A Sketch, and why the warrior stays calm in the chaos. You're welcome.
The Diamonds Are in the Darkness
Danae Jensen is a plant medicine and healing guide based on Quadra Island BC. She has watched people crawl into ceremony at their lowest and walk out realizing their life is actually pretty amazing. Plant is going to show you what it needs to show you. And the diamonds are always in the darkness.
Accepting Your Darkness Is Part of Accepting Yourself
You don't stop the negativity coming in. You let it out. Empress Sparkle is a healer and energetic cleanser here to talk about energy, darkness, judgment, soul ties, and why accepting yourself — all of yourself — is where wellness actually begins.
Burnout Is Sticky. So Is Peanut Butter. Let's Talk About Both.
The helpers are burning out. And not enough people are helping them. Kathleen Foldvari is a registered social worker and psychotherapist here specifically for the healthcare workers, first responders, teachers, coaches, and parents who give everything to everyone and forget themselves. This one is real, practical, and ends with pickles and peanut butter. You're welcome.
Fuck Being the Glue. Be the Acetone
People pleasing is just self betrayal with a smile on. Janessa Neighbors is a certified relationship and trauma recovery coach who gets it — because she's lived it. This one goes deep into people pleasing, neurodivergence, limited beliefs, and why you were never supposed to be the glue.
Tiger. Sloth. Alpaca. Pick Your Healing Mascot.
Darcy Birch has crawled through some serious basement level rock bottom moments in her life. Now she helps others do the same - faster than they think possible. This episode goes everywhere. Trauma. Accountability. Change. And somehow ends with a sloth. You're welcome.
Hey. You Can Whisk Wellness In Slowly.

Set Me Up. But Make It Wellness.

When Wellness Me Up Meets Wellness Me In
Sometimes the shift we’re looking for out there actually starts within. In this episode, Crystal Trevors shares how spiritual awakening, energy, and belief systems can help us move from feeling stuck to truly living joy. Turns out… Wellness Me Up might actually begin with Wellness Me In.
Tornado Energy Meets Take-a-Breath Energy
Amanda shows up in full tornado mode... and Christina Day meets it with calm and a reminder to just take a breath. They talk nervous systems, perimenopause, small shifts that move the needle, and why you don’t have to overhaul your whole life to feel better. Sometimes the real wellness move is simply slowing the fuck down.
The Shit That Helps the Shifts
Moms are expected to hold everything together... while slowly burning out. Amanda and Emily talk slow motherhood, self-trust, boundaries, and why the system around parenting is kind of bullshit. Because supporting moms changes everything for kids too.
Mercury Retrograde… Grab Your Umbrella

Wellness Me Up - Introduction
Okay, so here’s the thing… most of us don’t start wellness work because life is going awesome. We start because we’re tired, looping, and googling symptoms at 2 a.m. If you’re just beginning... or on your 57th healing spiral thinking “didn’t I already deal with this?.... you’re in the right place.This podcast is honest, practical, and a little sweary (okay a lot sweary lol). It’s about feeling bet
