Summary
So much of what we're sold as wellness is really performance in soft clothing: the optimized routine, the tracked sleep, the morning ritual. And underneath it, many people are quietly exhausted from being so well. Trauma recovery coach Anu Verma unpacks the mask of "I'm fine," why real wellness is often about putting things down rather than adding more, and the small, honest micro practices that actually sustain you. About the Guest: Anu Verma is a UK-based certified trauma recovery coach, holistic therapist, and author of Victim to Victor. She is the founder of Victim2Victor and host of its podcast, helping people heal and reclaim their power. Key Takeaways: Mindset and body go hand in hand; wellness is holistic. The "I'm fine" mask blocks the very energy that keeps you well. Real wellness is often putting things down, not adding more. Micro practices, a few mindful minutes, beat elaborate routines you can't sustain. Healing isn't linear; slipping back signals there's still more to learn.
