I recently stumbled upon a book in a New York bookstore that immediately caught my eye: How to Be Well by Amy Larocca. As someone who’s endlessly curious about real wellness—and how it gets distorted by trends and pressure— I was instantly intrigued. With its bold subtitle promising to navigate our “self-care epidemic, one dubious […]

Wellness Is a Puzzle—And You Hold the Missing Piece If you’ve ever felt frustrated trying to follow someone else’s wellness routine, you’re not alone.

Why La Rentrée Is the Reset You Didn’t Know You Needed Ready for a wellness reset post summer? In France, la rentrée marks the end of summer and the return to daily routines.

How to truly tune in to your body is a skill that most of us were never taught. We’ve been trained to override, push through, and perform. But if you’ve ever felt off, exhausted, or unsure of what your body is telling you, this post is your invitation to relearn a skill that can change […]

We often assume that real change has to be dramatic. A total overhaul. A strict plan.
