    Welcome back to the Happy Place for the last time this season, yes you have made it to the tenth and final episode this season.

    Before Ben puts away their microphone, they have just enough time to bring you the whole reason for this podcast, and the ultimate way we can treat ourselves as imperfect perfect humans.

    “We should never negate the power of self-care because we can care for ourselves in so many ways that can really make our lives easier, and far more manageable. Thus this is the essence of Anti-Wellness Wellness, it exists to care for the imperfect nature of being human, and this podcast is an extension of that.”

    Thank you for your support all season long, Ben will be back in 2021, but until then they hope you find your Happy Place, uh buh bye…

    Once we know the truth we are much more able to live on our own terms.
