Have you ever thought about YOUR definition of wellbeing? 

Wellbeing is incredibly subjective, personal, and there’s no single, unified definition. In today’s episode, Mike Krause, Dr. Helena Fowler, DCN, and Jamie Watson, LMFT, RPT-S kick off their journey into the six aspects of wellbeing (physical, career, social, community, financial, and spiritual) with a primer on the foundations of wellbeing. 

We also clarify the often-misunderstood difference between self-care and wellness—two terms frequently used interchangeably but with distinct roles in our lives. Finally, we’ll explore how wellbeing is a deeply personal and evolving journey, reminding you that your path to wellness is as unique as you are. Tune in for insights that will empower you to take control of your wellbeing!
