Midlife burnout. Failed wellness trends. Self-help overload. In this laugh-through-the-tears episode of the Rooted Warriors Podcast, we’re getting real about all the things we thought would change our lives—and didn’t.
From gym memberships we ghosted, skincare that broke us out, meditation apps we downloaded and ignored, to health fads that left us broke and bloated—we’re unpacking the wellness graveyard of false starts and expensive letdowns.
