Wellness Without Hype with Liezel Van Der Westhuizen
Loading player...
We’re joined now by Liezel van der Westhuizen, mental fitness and neuroscience coach, burnout prevention specialist, and endurance athlete to unpack the psychology behind wellness culture, social media, and what’s really going on in our minds.
Now, you’d expect a mental fitness coach to feel right at home in high-performance space but Liezel says she spent two years avoiding a global fitness race, not because she wasn’t capable, but because of what she was seeing online.
That experience opened up a much bigger question: are we consuming wellnes or are we being overwhelmed by it?
May marks Mental Health Awareness Month a time when conversations around mental wellbeing take center stage. But in a world where wellness content is everywhere, from fitness trends to mindset hacks flooding our timelines, how much of it is actually helping us and how much of it is adding pressure?
This is Wellness Without Hype, where we separate what’s evidence-based from what’s exaggerated.
