Welcome back to Well Being! This week, Andy returns from his mountain retreat, Theo’s riding high on Severance season 2, and Kel is…well, somewhere on assignment. In this episode, our dynamic duo dives into a brutally honest mental health check-in—with new therapists, old frustrations, overthinking spirals, and full-size hotel bed regrets.

Plus, we go deep with “Burn After Reading” prompts: who we’d bring back from the dead, what languages we wish we knew, and the biggest holes we’ve tried to fill (emotionally, not metaphorically). It’s real, it’s ridiculous, and it’s healing.

Then we jump back into the campaign—straight into chaos. Rollerblades off, hovercars on, drones attack, and Sholo rages like a true wildcard. Spiritual weapons get summoned. Sneak attacks go wrong. Negotiations are abandoned. And everyone starts doing the exact opposite of what they should be doing. It’s glorious.

🎲 Mental health meets mayhem. Therapy meets tactics. Chaos meets catharsis.

This week on Well Being, Theo and Kel go full Val Kilmer appreciation mode, diving into the legacy of a legend—from Batman Forever to Kiss Kiss Bang Bang. But it’s not just sparks of inspiration this time: the duo opens up in a raw and thoughtful mental health check-in. Theo shares insights from a recent therapy session, Kel talks about stepping into the world of therapy and navigating insurance nightmares, and together they explore what real change feels like after a year of shadow work.

Also covered: spooky coat-on-a-chair realizations, anxiety hand-under-the-bed metaphors, and why some medications feel like superpowers with trade-offs. Come for the movie talk, stay for the vulnerability. ✨

This week, the crew takes a deep dive into the world of insecurities—how they creep into our work, relationships, and self-image. From imposter syndrome to body dysmorphia, we unpack the emotional weight we carry and how it shapes our daily lives. But it’s not all heavy! Sparks of inspiration bring us indie filmmaking victories, Daredevil critiques, and the wild world of Blender-powered Oscar winners. Plus, in the campaign, the team stumbles into a neon-lit underground city, meets fish-headed locals, and discovers a greasy diner that just might hold more than a good meal. Grab a seat at the bar, because this episode gets real.

What if thinking dumber actually made you smarter? This week, Theo, Andy, and Kel sit down with David Carson, author of the Dumbify newsletter, to explore how embracing “dumb thinking” can lead to creativity, problem-solving, and even scientific breakthroughs. From the origins of Liquid Death to the unexpected genius of potato chips, they discuss the power of letting go of the need to be “smart” all the time. Plus, the gang shares their own stories of happy accidents, DIY filmmaking mishaps, and how dumb ideas sometimes lead to the best results.

No campaign session this week, but plenty of laughs, insights, and inspiration to shake up your mindset. Be sure to check out David’s work and, in the spirit of Dumbify, embrace a little bit of foolishness in your life.

The gang is back with sparks of inspiration, from revisiting Severance to diving into Absolute Batman. But this week’s shadow work takes a deep dive into denial—how we mask emotions, push things aside, and convince ourselves that everything is fine. From childhood experiences to relationships, the crew unpacks what it means to sit with discomfort without forcing a silver lining. Meanwhile, in the campaign, the team navigates sewers, encounters slimes, and makes some high-stakes rollerblade repairs. Join us for another episode of Well Being —where facing the shadow is part of the adventure.

Ah, balance—the ever-elusive unicorn of life. This week, Theo, Andy, and Kel attempt to wrangle their inner chaos and find some kind of harmony between their shadow traits and, you know, actually functioning humans. Will they succeed? Probably not, but hey, it’s the effort that counts!

Sparks of Inspiration this week include Lego-building therapy, the dangers of puzzles (too many pieces, not enough patience), and why AppleCare might just be Kel’s new best friend. Meanwhile, in the campaign, our heroes finally stop running and start fighting… with mixed results. Some epic rolls, some epic failures, and one poor rat who gets viciously mocked into oblivion.

Join us as we fumble through shadow work, dodge existential crises, and try (keyword: try) to find balance.

This week, Theo, Andy, and Kel dive deep into the foundation of identity—our families of origin. Sparks of Inspiration ignite the episode with everything from Super Bowl performances to impulse purchases, new tech, and a long-overdue therapy appointment. But the real journey begins when the crew explores how childhood environments shape financial habits, relationships, and personal growth. From generational cycles to unexpected self-discoveries, this episode is a heartfelt, hilarious, and sometimes heavy reflection on where we come from and where we’re headed. Plus, the campaign continues—fear, teleportation, and glowing rats included.
