For context. I am, in effect a “wellness teacher”. I frequently hold workshops, community spaces and corporate events, in addition to writing wellness columns. I wholeheartedly see the benefits of mindfulness, self-care, yoga, massage, cold dips, infa-red saunas, and even the boost from a quality beauty treatment.

“Girrrl we’re tired”…. The normal conversation between myself and my friends now in our 30s, has quickly replaced the dating/ going out plans conversations that dominated our 20s. We are all tired.
