In this bold kickoff to the Women’s History Month Wellness Series, Dr. Rolanda Fabien reframes wellness as an essential, revolutionary act. You’ll discover what real wellness looks like (beyond the bubble baths), why it’s vital to reclaim it, and how to take your first steps toward healing, balance, and sustainable success—without the guilt.

• The truth about wellness beyond aesthetic trends

• The 4 Pillars of Holistic Wellness: Spiritual, Mental, Emotional, Physical

• Why reclaiming wellness is a radical act of self-liberation

• 3 small but powerful ways to prioritize yourself starting today
