## Resource

Gina Livy sits down with Kyle Buchanan, wellness contributor on Global's The Morning Show and host of Feel Goodery and The Exhale on SiriusXM, and they do not hold back. From salmon sperm facials to scream clubs, they cut through the noise of so much modern wellness "wankery" to talk about what actually may help you. The conversation gets to the core of nervous system burnout, why grief goes unacknowledged, what it means to finally stop editing yourself for everyone else, and why the most radical thing you can do right now might be to exhale longer than you inhale. No optimization required.
