Episode Summary

In this special After Show mini-series of The All In Wellness Approach, producer and behind-the-scenes voice Sarah steps in as host to unpack each episode with honesty, humor, and reflection.

In this inaugural After Show, Sarah sits down with Amanda and Aubrey to look back at how The All In Wellness Approach came to life—from the first six months of planning and production to the lessons learned on set and the vulnerability it took to share their stories publicly.

They talk about what worked, what didn’t, and how listener feedback is already shaping future episodes. The conversation explores authenticity, mental health, and the messy reality of growth.

This new series is still finding its name, and the AIWA community will get to help choose it—so keep an eye on our socials to cast your vote and be part of the process.
