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.

This episode hits home if you’ve ever searched:

• Why self-help isn’t working

• Gym membership regret

• Overhyped wellness products

• Skincare mistakes women make

• Mental health quick fixes that failed

• Health fads that didn’t work

• How to actually feel better in midlife

• Chasing healing as a mom, wife, woman

In this episode, you’ll get:

• Hilarious and humbling stories from women who tried all the things

• The worst (and best) health and wellness purchases we’ve ever made

• Shocking history and stats about the five-trillion-dollar wellness industry

• Real tools and takeaways for pursuing healing that’s actually sustainable

• A gut-check reminder that healing isn’t in your cart—it’s in your daily rhythm

We’re naming the things that didn’t heal us so we can finally chase wholeness without shame, pressure, or another overpriced serum.
