Lara is crushing it at her tattoo events and Makena is so unwell that she's the funniest she's ever been. And that's about all that we can tell you!!

She's a Sweaty B*tch

Wed, 20 Jul 2022 04:00:00 -0400

Lara explains why it took her such a long time to talk about her sexuality on the podcast, what she wishes she had majored in at Michigan, her biggest body insecurity, the time she felt most in danger, + answers to many more spicy questions!

Quick note: Around 32 minutes into the pod, Lara started rolling her pencil on the table (lol) while telling the story about a tree falling on her friend's car and the rolling gives some mic feedback for a few minutes. It ends around 35 minutes in and starts again for a minute at 41 mins.

Community Series #4: Reflections on Chosen Family

Wed, 22 Dec 2021 04:00:00 -0500

On this episode of F*ck Wellness, we recruited some listeners to tell us how their chosen family has impacted their life. The resulting perspectives were powerful, emotional, and funny.

Basira tells the story of her two friends sitting at the vet with her dying cat. Stevie shares that with their chosen family, they can dress and express and be who they are in their most authentic form; something that their family is not as supportive of. Liat explains how her chosen family was a constant after her parent's divorce. Deekshita describes how her chosen family has helped her understand what she needed from her biological family. And there are so many more incredible stories.

We are so grateful for the stories, experiences, and perspectives offered by our participants. This episode would not be possible without their vulnerability.

This is our fourth community episode, where we invite listeners to share their perspective on our topic of the month. Find our community episodes on birth control, therapy, and body image for more of this style of episode.

A "Brandy Melville" Approach to Workplace Wellness

Wed, 03 Nov 2021 04:00:00 -0400

On this episode of F*ck Wellness, Mallory leads a conversation on workplace wellness, the sworn enemy of actual employee wellbeing. Mallory talks about how problematic weight-focused workplace wellness programs are, why the best workplace programs take an individual-focused preventative take on wellness, and where the workplace wellness industry needs to move (hint: away from weight loss and step challenges towards mental health and paid parental leave).

ALSO featuring guest star, Ryan Powers, with his input on workplace wellness at his last employer.

Each week this month, Mal, Lara, and Ken will unpack a wellness topic. This week was Mallory's topic and next week we will hear Makena's. We hope you enjoy this new format (because we LOVED it).

Wed, 21 Jul 2021 03:00:00 -0400

We are taking the month of July off (#vacay)! We will be airing two of our favorite episodes from season one of F*ck Wellness and two episodes of Makena’s podcast, the ReAwakening podcast.

Description:
What if we told you there is a person who is exceptionally good at content creation, photography, graphic design, AND has the voice of an angel? You wouldn't believe us.

But he's with us today on F*ck Wellness. Blake Silva is a man of many talents, but is also incredibly humble, kind, and thoughtful. We talk about staying inspired as a full-time creative, keeping it real in the influencer economy (he has 13.6K followers!), and his advice for cultivating creativity.

We highly recommend checking out his Instagram (@blakeasilva) to be awed by his artistic aesthetics, brought to tears by his voice and those of the black singers he highlights, but mostly to see his Moira Rose photo impression (#thecrowshaveeyes). You can also visit his website for his portfolio, incredible merch, and his Christmas album.

Not Everyone Deserves Your Vulnerability

Wed, 07 Apr 2021 04:00:00 -0400

To begin the month of vulnerability, Lara, Makena, and Mallory describe a few of their most nerve-wracking and courageous moments of openness. Makena discusses the first time she said "I love you" to a partner. Mallory recounts how she told one of her childhood best friends that she prayed every night. Lara explains how her most vulnerable moments are usually tied to an activity (like during a walk or crafting). The group gives advice on how to start flexing your vulnerability muscle in small, meaningful ways.

Let’s Talk About Sex (On a College Campus)

On this week’s episode of F*ck Wellness, Mallory brings on two college students, Zack and Carrie, to share their experiences with sexual health at college.

The group talks about how to reach students on sensitive topics like anal sex and using protection, why peer-to-peer communication is the most effective when it comes to sexual health, and what they wish they had known before coming to college.

This is our third episode of March focusing on sexuality. Our first episode highlighted Mallory, Lara, and Makena’s experiences learning about sex and sexuality. Our second episode featured Erin Kenney, a sex educator at an adult boutique. Next week we will have the lovely Rachel Wainz of the podcast “Balls Deep” on to break down the taboo topics around sex.
