softcore Wellness

Send us Fan Mail In this episode of Softcore Wellness, we’re talking about routines, the ones we love, the ones we resist, and the ones we’re currently trying to figure out. We get into our real-life routines across everything: mornings, nights, food, movement, mental health, and the small, specific things that make up our day-to-day (including the not-so-glamorous ones). This isn’t a “perfect routine” conversation. It’s an honest look at what’s working for us right now, what isn’t, what we’ve tried before, and what we’re still navigating. Because routines aren’t static, they shift with your life, your energy, and the season you’re in. This episode is less about giving you a blueprint, and more about opening up the conversation: What does support actually look like for you right now?

Send us Fan Mail In this episode of Softcore Wellness, we’re diving into the world of functional medicine — what it is, how it works, and why so many people are turning to it for a more personalized approach to their health. We’re joined by a functional medicine PA who walks us through how this model looks at the body as an interconnected system, rather than a set of isolated symptoms. We talk about the kinds of testing often used in functional medicine, how practitioners “connect the dots,” and why two people with the same symptoms might need completely different approaches to care. This conversation is especially relevant if you’ve ever felt like something is “off” but haven’t gotten clear answers — or if you’re looking to better understand your body and optimize your health in a more holistic, individualized way. We also explore how functional medicine can work alongside your existing care team, including primary care providers and specialists, to create a more complete picture of your health.

Send us Fan Mail In this episode of Softcore Wellness, we’re celebrating Women’s History Month by taking a look at the history of women’s health — and how far we’ve come (and how far we still have to go). From periods and period products to sports bras, medical research, and the ways women have had to advocate for their own care, we explore some of the milestones that have shaped the way women experience health and wellness today. We also talk about something deeply personal: learning to listen to our bodies. For generations, women were often told to ignore their symptoms, push through pain, or accept discomfort as normal. Reclaiming trust in our bodies can be a powerful act of self-awareness and self-care. This conversation moves between history, personal experience, and curiosity about what it means to live in — and care for — bodies like ours.

Send us Fan Mail What does it really mean to be with someone at the end of their life? In this episode, we sit down with Rachel, a Clinical Licensed Social Worker and program director for a death doula collective, to talk about dying - practically, emotionally, and honestly. We cover: • what actually happens in the body as it begins to shut down • the difference between dying at 90 and dying at 40 • why grief isn’t linear • what to say (and what not to say) to someone who is grieving • different kinds of loss we carry throughout a lifetime • and what it really means to “let go” We also touch on the Baba Ram Dass quote, “We’re all just walking each other home,” and what that looks like in real life.  As showing up. As being willing to stay. This conversation is thoughtful, grounded, and unexpectedly comforting. Death isn’t mystical here. It’s human. And so is grief. If you’ve ever wondered how to support someone through loss, or how to think about your own mortality with a little more steadiness, this episode is for you. Presence is enough.
