Wellbeing Without the Wellness Industry | Why Wellness Culture Doesn’t Work for Everyone

If you’ve ever felt quietly resistant, sceptical, or even irritated by mainstream wellness culture, this episode is for you. In this episode of The Happya Life Podcast, Clare Deacon explores wellbeing without the wellness industry and why so many intelligent, capable women feel disconnected from the way wellbeing is currently being sold. This is not a rejection of wellbeing. It’s a reclaiming of it. Many people who are thoughtful, emotionally aware, and highly functioning have tried the routines, read the books, and followed the advice only to feel more pressure, not less. When wellbeing is framed as something to optimise, perform, or perfect, it can quietly become another form of over-functioning. In this conversation, Clare brings together positive psychology, nervous system science, and lived experience to explain why the wellness industry often fails people who have spent years coping, holding things together, and surviving responsibly. This episode explores: • Why wellness culture often increases pressure rather than reducing • How wellbeing became another performance standard • The difference between coping, functioning, and thriving • Why “doing more” is not the answer for a tired nervous system • How nervous system regulation actually supports wellbeing • Why wellbeing after survival looks different • How positive psychology defines wellbeing beyond habits and routines • What it means to build self-trust instead of following trends If you’ve ever thought: “Why does wellbeing feel like another job?” “I’ve done the wellness things so why do I still feel flat?” “I don’t need fixing, but I do need something different” You’re not failing at wellbeing. You’re likely responding intelligently to a model that doesn’t respect your life, your nervous system, or your stage of growth. This episode offers a quieter, more honest conversation about wellbeing one rooted in reality, psychology, and compassion, rather than trends or optimisation. 👇 If this resonates, let us know in the comments what landed for you, or where you’ve felt pressure from wellness culture. 🔗 Explore grounded wellbeing and identity resources here: https://happyacoach.com/explore/self ✨ Subscribe for thoughtful conversations about identity, nervous system health, positive psychology, and wellbeing beyond survival.
