Summary

In this solo, I’m catching you up on everything: walking through hard things and what it actually feels like when life finally turns around. I talk about staying friends with an ex (yes, it’s possible), how my lifestyle now compares to when I was married, and the biggest perspective shifts I’ve had post-divorce. I also get into finding joy in the small stuff, how to want what you already have, and my honest thoughts on kids now that I’m in a happy, long(ish) relationship. For a little beauty chat, I discuss my current in-office treatments, easy chest hacks, what I wish I did earlier, and the top five skincare and makeup products I can’t live without.

0:00.0	The following podcast is a dear media production. I'm sharing a little bit about finances in this
0:06.7	episode and something that has made a huge difference in how I approach my money and my finances,
0:13.5	especially now that I am responsible for that, is Wynab. So Wynab spelled YNAB is a truly
0:20.5	life-changing app that helps you do what you want
0:22.5	with the money that you have. You just create a flexible plan for your money through the simple
0:27.1	practice of giving every dollar a job, keeping you focused on the life that you want. And I love
0:32.5	this approach. It makes so much more sense to me than just budgeting and trying to put away a lot of money for
0:38.9	future spending. What you do with YNab is you create categories. So for me, I have my business
0:44.5	expenses, business overhead, I have my personal expenses, I have travel, I have investments,
0:52.0	and I allocate every single dollar that I currently have, not future money,
0:57.6	money that I currently have, to one of those categories. So I can see exactly where my money is going
1:04.8	and making my money really work for me. So listeners of well can claim an exclusive three-month
1:10.6	free trial with no credit card required
1:13.1	at www.wynab.com slash well. That's ynab.com slash well. I highly recommend taking advantage of this
1:22.7	three-month trial because you will get a hang of this approach. And for me, it's truly become fun. It's like a game and I love
1:29.9	checking my app every day and moving my money around. It's so empowering. So again, that's
1:35.3	ynav.com slash well. This is well, a podcast about wellness in all its forms. I'm Ariel Lori, and each week I'm sharing
1:45.7	unfiltered conversations with the people shaping how we feel, live, and look. Come for the
1:51.2	substance, stay for the honesty, and leave with the tools to be well, inside and out.
2:19.1	Welcome to the show. Can you guys believe that it's October? I just truly can't believe it. I just got done with a meeting and we were talking about 2026 things and I'm like, I don't understand. 2025 flew by. It flew by. I'm like, I don't understand. 2025 flew by.
2:20.5	It flew by.
2:26.5	I sound like such an old person and I feel like this is such like a banal thing to talk about.
