Wellness events don’t cure burnout - but they can build community, reduce isolation, and create moments of humanity in a demanding system. In this episode, we unpack why wellness initiatives sometimes draw eye-rolls, what can make them fall flat, and how to design events that feel supportive rather than performative. The goal isn’t forced happiness, but sustainability and connection.
