When Healing Gets Messy: The Dark Side of Self-Improvement Culture

In this raw and revealing episode, the ladies of Couch Chronicles sit down with guest Renee Anya, an accounting graduate turned fashion creative, blending precision with bold artistry, to unpack the unfiltered truth about healing, therapy, and the self-improvement industry. We live in a time where everyone is “healing,” journaling, manifesting, and going to therapy… but what happens when healing becomes another performance? Another expectation? Another trend? Together, we explore the side of self-work that isn’t aesthetic, curated, or Instagram-friendly, the messy middle nobody posts about.
