Is it really healthcare…or just sickcare? I’m pulling back the curtain on the U.S. healthcare system and asking the questions no one wants to answer. Why is prevention so undervalued? Why are we managing lifestyle diseases with medication alone? And how can integrative wellness offer a better path forward? If you’ve ever felt like the system isn’t built for true healing — you’re not wrong.

What if the reason you’ve never quite “fit in” isn’t a problem to fix — but a clue that you’re meant to live differently? In a world that rewards conformity and burnout, choosing rest, intuition, and alignment can feel rebellious. But maybe that’s exactly what real wellness looks like now: a quiet refusal to play by rules that were never made for us. This post is your permission slip to stop shrinking and start leading — from the edge.

Why this simple (and slightly awkward) question might be the secret to unlocking your best health, mental clarity and overall self-care. Let’s get real about what we’re holding onto — physically and emotionally.
