Redefining Wellness - Beyond the Buzzwords
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode of Coffee Unlimited with J & D, we unpack the word “wellness” — what it really means, how it’s evolved over time, and why it may need redefining.
Danielle reflects on her 20+ years in the wellness space, including her time at the Chopra Center, and shares the complexity of reconciling disappointment when leaders fall short. From there, the conversation widens into something more universal: wellness as something deeply personal — not commercial, not elite, and not one-size-fits-all.
Together, we explore:
- How wellness has become commercialized and performative
- Why true wellbeing doesn’t have to cost anything
- The connection between thoughts and suffering
- The subtle “red flags” that signal we’re out of balance
- Sleep, sugar, movement, and aging — without rigidity
- Why wellness is about returning to wholeness, not perfection
This episode is honest, unscripted, and reflective. It reminds us that wellness isn’t about spa days or green juice — it’s about awareness. It’s about noticing when we’re impatient. It’s about choosing grace over rigidity. It’s about recognizing that balance isn’t static — it’s something we flow in and out of every day.
Wellness isn’t perfection.
It’s presence.
It’s self-awareness.
It’s coming home to yourself again and again.
