Embracing Real Health: Living in Total Wellness with Glen Alex
Host: Melissa Crook | Guest: Glen Alex

In this insightful and empowering episode of The F.E.E.L Podcast, host Melissa Crook welcomes back Glen Alex—author, speaker, and holistic health advocate—for a heartfelt conversation on what it truly means to live in total wellness. A familiar voice from our Together We F.E.E.L panel “Meet the Difference Makers — Holistic Health & Self-Advocacy,” Glen now joins us one-on-one to explore the deeper layers of self-care, self-worth, and the “big picture” of our health.

With her intuitive and joyful approach, Glen shares why knowledge is only potential until it’s applied, how understanding your why shapes your ability to care for yourself, and the importance of celebrating your own wins with the same energy you’d give a friend. Together, Melissa and Glen unpack the mindset shifts that help us move from burnout to balance—and why your relationship with yourself sets the tone for your total well-being.

✨ “If you figure out your why, the how will follow.” – Glen Alex

In this episode, we explore:🧠 Knowledge as potential—and application as power💛 The “why” behind self-care (and why it matters more than the “how”)🌱 Celebrating your own wins like you would for a friend🧩 Seeing both the big picture and the pieces that create it🔥 Avoiding burnout by keeping your cup full

Whether you’re redefining your self-care, rethinking your mindset, or reconnecting with your worth, this episode is a reminder that you are worth the time, energy, and celebration you give to others.

💛 Ways to Engage:Be aware of saying you “should” do something and change it to “could.” Think of things as you are capable and can do them, rather than twisting reality to what you should be doing, but aren’t. See how this changes your motivation and perception of yourself as you make this shift.
