Rethinking Wellness From the Inside Out: Living in Alignment with Tamara Croes
Monday, October 19, 2026 • Duration 24:37
What if wellness isn’t something you chase, buy or optimize, but something you feel within? On Wellness Reimagined, Tamara Croes questions the trends and checklists and asks what it really takes to feel whole.
Tamara shares how noticing she was more away from home than with her family led her to change the way she lives, why breaking old patterns can feel isolating at first, and how to keep going when fear shows up.
About the Guest:
Tamara Croes lives in the Netherlands and is a mother of five. Together with her partner, she chose to step off the conventional path so her family could live, work and raise their children together, on their own terms.
Key Takeaways:
Wellness starts with how you speak to yourself, not the latest trend.
The people around you shape your patterns, so notice who’s in your circle.
Breaking a pattern can feel isolating; start with the small circle you have.
Fear will speak up; let it, then choose not to stay there.
You don’t need every step mapped out; life isn’t meant to be fully known.
When someone you love slips back, give them space and hold the vision.

Rethinking Wellness Beyond Trends: Intention Over Method with Sam Brooks
Wednesday, September 30, 2026 • Duration 25:57
What if wellness isn't something you buy or achieve, but whatever truly helps you feel well? This episode of Wellness Reimagined questions the "shoulds" that turn self-care into another performance.
Rally News founder Sam Brooks shares why a practice that works for one person may drain another, how intentional media habits lower everyday anxiety, and why the goal matters more than the routine.
About the Guest:
Sam Brooks is the founder of Rally News, a positive news aggregator built as an alternative to social media algorithms. He is passionate about helping people be more intentional about the media they consume.
Key Takeaways:
Wellness is anything that helps you feel at peace, not a checklist of trends.
If you keep asking whether a practice serves you, it may not.
Be intentional about media, especially in the first minutes of your day.
Give a new routine a few weeks. If it feels like a chore, replace it with another.
Hold on to the intention. The routine is only the path to it.

Rethinking Wellness: Living Your Highest Values Instead of Chasing Perfection with Liz Coleman
Sunday, September 27, 2026 • Duration 19:12
What if wellness isn't a destination you reach, but a way of living in line with who you really are? This episode of Wellness Reimagined is for anyone chasing a perfect routine or a life that looks good on paper but feels out of place.
Life coach Liz Coleman shares how to find your highest values, why molding yourself to others' expectations creates stress, and how asking "What would my highest self do?" helps you respond instead of react.
About the Guest
Liz Coleman is a New York-based transformational life coach. After a career that looked amazing from the outside but felt out of place, she learned to live as her true self.
Key Takeaways
Find your highest values by asking what you'd do if no one asked.
Perfection means something different to everyone, so chasing it keeps you stuck.
Resisting who you are creates stress that tends to surface somewhere.
When triggered, pause and ask how your highest self would respond.
Swap "I have to" for "I get to" or "I'm choosing to."
Recommended read: Breaking the Habit of Being Yourself by Dr. Joe Dispenza

Rethinking Wellness Beyond Quick Fixes with Dr. Maria Van Der Maaten
Tuesday, September 22, 2026 • Duration 24:46
Does self-care feel like one more checklist you're failing? This episode of Wellness Reimagined is for anyone tired of chasing routines and quick fixes that never quite deliver.
Dr. Maria Van Der Maaten explores how productivity culture reshaped wellness, and offers a gentler path: community care, experimentation, simple floors instead of perfect ceilings, and a focus on process over results.
About the Guest:
Dr. Maria Van Der Maaten holds a PhD, has taught at university, and completed a holistic wellness and fitness coaching certification. Originally from the US, she now lives in Argentina.
Key Takeaways:
Wellness works best as a daily way of relating to yourself, not an occasional treat or performance.
Much of modern self-care is sold to keep us productive. Ask what you actually want more time for.
Do wellness with others. A walk with a neighbour covers movement, connection, and nature without feeling like work.
Set a floor, not a ceiling. A small non-negotiable, like ten minutes of yoga, carries you through hard days.
Treat setbacks as experiments. Each restart gets easier, and sustainable systems matter more than fast results.
[00:00] When Did You Last Feel Truly Well? - an opening invitation to rethink wellness
[02:30] Beyond the Spa Day - wellness as a daily way of being
[05:30] Self-Care and Capitalism - how wellness got tied to productivity
[09:30] Community Is the Real Hack - why wellness was never meant to be done alone
[13:30] Finding Your Why - what a pandemic pause revealed about worth and wellbeing
[18:30] Floors, Not Ceilings - experimentation, restarts, and a ten-minute yoga practice
[24:00] Process Over Results - saying no, keeping it simple, and noticing small shifts

Redefining Wellness Through Personal Practice: Silvia Rizzo on Wellness Reimagined
Saturday, September 19, 2026 • Duration 18:25
What if wellness was never about a fixed standard, but about what actually makes you feel alive? Host Swati talks with Grand Prix dressage rider Silvia Rizzo about why wellness has to be personal, not performed for anyone watching.
Silvia shares why skipping a workout usually comes down to excuses rather than real limits, a lesson from working with 700 kilogram horses about staying clear headed under pressure, and why the only thing you can truly control is your own reaction.
About the Guest:
Silvia Rizzo is a professional Grand Prix dressage rider and life coach who helps people make better decisions under pressure. She draws lessons from working with large animals, where staying calm and clear headed is essential, into how she teaches wellness.
Key Takeaways:
Skipping a workout is usually an excuse, not a real physical limit.
Wellness should be for yourself, not a performance for anyone watching.
Staying clear headed under real pressure is a skill you can actually train.
The only thing you can fully control in life is your own reaction.
A wellness practice needs flexibility, since life and your needs keep changing.

Reimagining Wellness: Karen Bentley on Stopping and Harmlessness
Thursday, September 17, 2026 • Duration 30:23
What if wellness is less about adding more habits and more about learning to stop? Host Naba talks with author Karen Bentley about the practice of becoming harmless, and why neutralizing a harmful thought takes ongoing attention, not one single decision.
Karen shares a personal story about neutralizing jealousy toward a family member over several weeks, why stopping a habit, even something small, builds the same skill you need for bigger changes, and why knowing what you actually want keeps you off autopilot.
About the Guest:
Karen Bentley is the author of more than 17 books, including her latest, The Warrior Strong Manifesto, about the conservation of life energy. She teaches three core skills for working with what she calls the ego robot, starting with the practice of stopping.
Key Takeaways:
Wellness is often about doing less, not adding more habits, journaling, or affirmations.
Neutralizing a harmful thought can take weeks of repeated, deliberate attention, not one decision.
Practicing stopping with a small habit builds a skill useful in bigger moments too.
Harm isn't only physical, guilt trips and raised voices count too.
Knowing clearly what you want keeps you from running on autopilot.
[06:00] The Biggest Misconception About Wellness (approx.)
[13:00] A Personal Story of Neutralizing Jealousy (approx.)
[22:00] The Ego Robot and the Practice of Stopping (approx.)

Reimagining Wellness Beyond Appearance: Dr. Sean Altman on Wellness Reimagined
Tuesday, September 15, 2026 • Duration 21:52
What if looking healthy and actually being healthy are two completely different things? The host talks with Dr. Sean Altman about why true wellness lives beneath the surface, in both the body and the mind, not in how someone looks.
Sean shares the difference between internal and external motivation for healthier habits, why gradual changes tend to stick better than dramatic ones, and why sleep and exercise are the two highest-leverage places to start.
About the Guest:
Dr. Sean Altman is a functional medicine doctor specializing in orthopedic and regenerative medicine. He focuses on patient education, asking patients about their personal goals as part of building a wellness plan tailored to them.
Key Takeaways:
Looking physically fit doesn't guarantee someone is actually healthy underneath the surface.
Internally motivated habits, done for your own reasons, tend to last far longer.
Gradual changes are usually easier to sustain than one dramatic overhaul.
Sleep and exercise are the two highest-leverage places to start improving wellness.
A supportive team, trainers, coaches, or clinicians, helps you recover from setbacks.

Redefining Wellness Through Connection: Steve McGough on Wellness Reimagined
Tuesday, September 15, 2026 • Duration 30:34
What if wellness isn't something you build alone, but something you create together? Host Niharika talks with Dr. Steve McGough about why social connection matters for health, and why knowing yourself comes before finding a partner.
Steve shares the biology behind why in-person connection beats texting or video calls, a simple weekly practice he and his wife use to stay close after 27 years together, and why going out into nature can offer a real sense of community too.
About the Guest:
Dr. Steve McGough is the founder of Human Innovations and inventor of the Hi Massager, a therapeutic device originally developed to help his wife. He has worked with couples and individuals on relationship health for over 16 years.
Key Takeaways:
Social isolation can be as harmful to long-term health as smoking daily.

In-person presence carries emotional information, through facial cues, that texting simply can't.
Setting aside weekly time to fully focus on your partner can deepen the relationship.
Time in nature can offer a real sense of community, even without other people.

Redefining Wellness Beyond Checklists: Geoff Grant on Wellness Reimagined
Wednesday, September 9, 2026 • Duration 25:17
Most of us treat wellness like a checklist: water, steps, sleep. But what if it's not about getting it right, but about actually experiencing your life?
On this episode of Wellness Reimagined, longtime caregiver Geoff Grant shares what 25 years of caring for his mother and wife taught him about grief, vulnerability, and staying grounded.
About the Guest:
Geoff Grant has spent 25 years as a family caregiver, first for his mother, then for his wife. He joins the show on the one year anniversary of her passing, reflecting on presence, grief, and self-compassion.

Wellness is mind, body, and spirit, not a checklist to perfect.
Vulnerability is strength. Revealing yourself is harder than hiding, and braver.
You can go through grief, or grow through it. The choice matters.
Stop measuring your life against someone else's idea of "perfect" wellness.
Grounding can be free: a walk outside, a journal page, an honest talk.

[02:30] What wellness really means: mind, body, and spirit together (approx.)

Wednesday, August 26, 2026 • Duration 30:31
What if the way we've been taught to chase wellness is part of what keeps us from feeling well? On Wellness Reimagined, host Navya talks with clinical herbalist Bonnie D'Arcangelo about diet, stress, and sustainable habits.
Bonnie shares why restriction backfires, how small consistent steps beat all-or-nothing goals, and why unresolved stress can undo even the healthiest diet.
About the Guest:
Bonnie D'Arcangelo is a clinical herbalist and holistic health consultant based in Michigan. She works with clients managing chronic conditions using herbal medicine, and explores the emotional root causes that often sit underneath physical health issues.
Key Takeaways:

Set small, realistic diet goals instead of banning foods completely
Keep a simple food journal to build awareness without judging yourself
Look for the emotional or stress-related root behind a physical health issue
Pair a calming scent, like lavender, with deep breathing to reset
Give yourself grace after a setback and simply start again
