The WellMess
Mothers finding themselves through wellness
Welcome to the WellMess podcast, where mama’s find themselves through wellness. I’m your host Dona Monroe.
I’m a designer by trade and a working mom of two young daughters. I started this podcast to share what I’ve learned along my wellness journey in the hopes that I can support other mamas out there.
Let's get real about striving towards wellness. As working moms we struggle with balancing it all, we feel like we're drowning. I get it, I've been there. I AM there. It's a daily practice to work on wellness and still try to be an amazing mom; all the while trying to kill it at the office!On this podcast you'll hear from other working moms who found that spark of inspiration to start their wellness journeys. We'll discuss the amazing things they've been able to accomplish as badass women as well as the raw messy bits that sometimes derail us. Let's talk about the different ways we can start to introduce healthier habits in our daily lives. We are all a work in progress and there is no perfect destination.Let's motivate each other to keep at it and understand that success comes from having the courage to work through the failures and to just keep getting up when life gets us down. Just like you tell your kids every day .. "WE CAN DO HARD THINGS."
And I’d love to know, how are you ... really?
Join me as we dig deep into the WellMess.

Customer Reviews
Informed, empathetic, encouraging
I’m amazed how podcasts like this get a non Mom like me to want to listen anyway. Dona’s speaking from experience of trying to do it all as a working Mom, and is offering relatable content and specific helpful tips for Moms. I love how she says “we are all a work in progress.” So many women, moms and not, feel the pressure to do it all and be perfect. She sees the listener and I’m excited to continue listening!
Well mess!!! Such a great name!
Dona is that kind of mama. Not pretentious but real. Because it’s in the realness and the mess that we find true beauty in life. So needed! Wellness is truly a journey, and sometimes messy for sure!!!❤️❤️❤️
She gets it!
Dona’s entrepreneurial background, combined with her passion for creating wellness for her and her family, provides amazing insight into how to balance it all! An important skill for everyone - mom or not!
