When wellness starts to feel like another full-time job, it is often a sign that the body is asking for something simpler, steadier, and more supportive. In today’s episode, I sit down with Kate Prince and Jo Woodhurst of Ancient + Brave to explore why modern wellness has become so complicated, and how we can return to practices that actually help us feel well. We talk about ritual over routine, blending instead of balance, and the role nature, rhythm, and community play in nervous system regulation and long-term resilience.
