Living Well (or Trying To) with Janet

Hello Living Wellers :p This week's release is a short one. I share a little announcement that instead of my original plan to release every other week during the summer, I'm going to aim to release weekly! That means that this week I am taking a little break from publishing in order to ramp up for the coming weeks. In the meantime, you can check out the episodes from May or the 40 before that! Oh, also - I have a new email address where you can send me questions (maybe I'll do some Q&A episodes), episode topic requests, or guest requests - send them all to livingwellwithjanet@gmail.com.

In this episode of Living Well (or Trying To) with Janet, we're diving headfirst into the bizarre, bold, and sometimes straight-up bonkers side of wellness. From tanning your perineum to sipping untreated spring water (a.k.a. raw water), the wellness world has taken some wild turns. I’ll break down the most eyebrow-raising trends—like facial cryotherapy, chlorophyll shots, lymphatic drainage with a toilet plunger (yes, really), and even breatharianism—while asking: is this helping us actually live well, or just selling us new forms of anxiety and expense? As someone who loves wellness, I’m here for the green juice and cold plunges—but some of this stuff? Kinda sus. Tune in as we laugh, cringe, and question how far is too far in the name of “health.” Would you ever sun your butthole? DM me on IG (@janetdoubleu) or leave a comment—I genuinely want to know.

Let’s be real—modern dating can feel like a chaotic mess of apps, mixed signals, and awkward coffee chats. In this episode, I sit down with dating coach and podcast host Yue Xu (Dateable podcast) to unpack how building a friendship first might be the most underrated—and powerful—strategy in love. We talk about why so many of us perform on dates, how to tell if you actually like the person or just the date activity, and what it means to connect with someone as a human before labeling it romantic. We also talk about the 5 Dating Archetypes - The Maverick, The Achiever, The Thinker, The Energizer, and The Dreamer - which are you? Whether you’re swiping, reconnecting with an old flame, or just trying to feel less weird on first dates, this one’s for you. Catch part one of this conversation in Episode 42: The 30-Day Relationship Incubator: Reimagining Modern Dating with Yue Xu.
