    Ep. 118 - Goblin Mode Activated: Cleanliness, Chaos & The TARDIS

    This week on Well Being, it’s a two-man weave as Theo and Andy hold it down while Kel is off adventuring.   We kick things off with Sparks of Inspiration — a full-blown British invasion. Andy dives deep into the worlds of Doctor Who (Tenet, Eccleston, and Matt Smith runs secured) while revisiting the magic of Harry Potter on Audible. Rose. Donna. Martha. Regret. Redemption. Giant bees (apparently).   Meanwhile, Theo returns to the haunting beauty and brutal difficulty of Hollow Knight, embracing the pain in hopes that maybe — just maybe — this is the run where he finally beats it.   Then we pivot into the Mental Health Portion, continuing our Goblin Mode exploration. But this time? We dig into Goblin Core.   What does it mean to live in “organized chaos”? Is goblin energy unclean… or just uncurated? Where did our internal pressure to keep a staged, company-ready home come from? Childhood? Culture? Pinterest perfection?   We unpack: The difference between messy and dirty Why dishes feel like a moral failing Bathroom hypocrisy The guilt spiral of “I should be cleaning” And why no one has ever achieved enlightenment scrubbing a toaster oven   From ornate mossy corners to cable-filled doom boxes, this episode explores the tension between aesthetic chaos and internalized shame — and whether we can build homes that reflect who we actually are instead of who we think we’re supposed to be.   So light a candle, embrace the goblin within, and remember:   Cleanliness might not be next to godliness… but self-compassion probably is.

    Ep. 117 - Goblin Homes & Highlight Reels

    This week on Well Being, Theo and Kel roll deep in a two-man squad while Andy gets pulled back into the capitalist void.   We kick things off with Sparks of Inspiration: 📚 Theo finishes Dungeon Crawler Carl: Doomsday Scenario and immediately needs book three injected into his veins. 🌌 Star Wars Outlaws is finally clicking. 🗡️ Hollow Knight gets resurrected (again). 🎬 And Kel experiments with Montage Editing in Final Cut — confronting vertical video, anamorphic squeeze lenses, and the existential crisis of “Do I make people turn their phones sideways?”   Then we shift into Goblin Mode.   What does your ideal home say about you? Are Pinterest-perfect interiors inspiring… or quietly shaming? Is clutter a failure — or proof that your life is actually being lived?   The guys unpack: Minimalist chic vs curated maximalism Secret passage mansions and Resident Evil dream homes Candid photos vs perfectly composed misery Millennials and the art of “Well… at least we’re not on fire” Why productivity feels impossible when your space isn’t your nest And the difference between a house that’s impressive and a house that’s yours   Turns out, maybe the goal isn’t a perfect home.   Maybe it’s a home that reflects you — cobwebs, scratched couches, tech upgrades, goblin corners and all.   Be well. Even if your rug’s clawed up. Even if the clutter’s winning. Even if you’re still figuring out where the hell everything goes.   Just cause you’re feeling a little strange… doesn’t mean you’re doing it wrong.

    Ep.116 - Breaking the Rules (and Lowering the Stakes)

    January finally let go of our ankles, and Well Being is back on the other side of the longest month known to humankind. This week’s Sparks of Inspiration are absolutely stacked: Kel somehow watches five movies in one week, we talk Sinners, Weapons, One Battle After Another, Superman (2025), and why modern stabilization might be robbing car chases of their soul. Andy revisits Schitt’s Creek and gets hyped for the Super Bowl halftime show, while Theo dives headfirst into Dungeon Crawler Carl, a book series that feels like Running Man meets Hitchhiker’s Guide with max chaos energy.   From there, we roll straight into the mental health portion, pulling from Rick Rubin’s The Creative Act: A Way of Being to unpack one of the book’s biggest chapters: Rules. The rules we’re taught. The rules we inherit. The ones we don’t even realize we’re following. We talk perfectionism, lowering the stakes, creative pressure, and how unconscious rules can quietly suffocate joy, collaboration, and experimentation.   We reflect on breaking out of rigid structures, rediscovering play, and why sometimes the best move is to throw away the old playbook—without losing the skills you earned along the way. Creativity, mental health, teamwork, and the radical idea that maybe you’re allowed to do things your way.   No absolutes. No averages. Just testing the rules and seeing what happens.

    Ep. 115 - Intentions, Algorithms, and Turning Your Fing Phone Sideways*

    The whole gang is finally back together, and the vibes are immaculate—slightly unhinged, deeply thoughtful, and very anti-vertical video.   This week’s Sparks of Inspiration bounce all over the place: Shrinking season three turning into an accidental five-episode binge, Royal Rumble confusion at 9am, Resident Evil retrospectives, the absolute joy of Dungeon Crawler Carl, and a bold creative stance that may change everything: turn your damn phone sideways.   In the mental health portion, we return to The Creative Act: A Way of Being by Rick Rubin and unpack the idea of intention—why care matters, why friction isn’t always the enemy, and whether making things “easier” actually drains them of meaning. From perfectionism and creative paralysis to algorithms, organization chaos, and starting literally anything, the conversation gets honest, vulnerable, and surprisingly funny.   We talk about hiding feelings in characters, making art through anguish, being a creative instrumentalist in a much bigger cosmic orchestra, and why sometimes the best move is just dumping everything into the timeline and seeing what survives.   It’s a joyful mess. It’s thoughtful. It’s a reminder that the work isn’t the point—the intention is.   🎧 Sparks fly 🧠 Mental health gets weird 🎨 Art gets vulnerable 📱 Vertical video gets roasted   Welcome back to Well Being.

    Ep. 114 - Goblin Mode, Game Grinds, and a Disney Engagement

    Being persists.   This week, we kick things off with Sparks of Inspiration, diving deep into gaming obsessions as Theo continues his Resident Evil marathon in preparation for RE9, revisits the chaotic joy of Resident Evil Village, and discovers the hilarious, unexpectedly heartfelt world of Dungeon Crawler Carl. Kel shares finishing his latest Star Wars run, thoughts on the Fallout series (including some side-eye at the Brotherhood of Steel), and why Walton Goggins is absolutely unstoppable.   Then—big life update alert 🚨—Kel tells the full story of his Disneyland engagement, complete with castle photos, sneaky family coordination, Magic Bands, and an accidental masterclass on how to get a hundred professional engagement photos for the price of a Lightning Lane pass. It’s wholesome, chaotic, and extremely on brand.   In our mental health portion, we continue our Goblin Mode series, exploring what it means to create a home that feels curated, cozy, automated, and lived-in. We unpack ideas of organization vs. chaos, shared living spaces, renter limitations, smart lighting obsessions, and the emotional weight we attach to “having things in their place.” Is a tidy home actually peace—or just another expectation we’re supposed to live up to?   As always, we wrap with reflection, humor, and permission to exist somewhere between mossy goblin cave and hyper-organized Pinterest dream.   Be well. 🖤 Theme by Affektiv https://open.spotify.com/artist/2dkwCQLY61JvqMmiiBvps3?si=N97bAnDqQkqcSSxVZA0C0Q https://soundcloud.com/affektiv Email us: WellBeing.Podcast@outlook.com YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@WellBeingpod

    Ep. 113 - Goblin at Home: Work-Life Balance, Creative Curation, and Letting Things Be

    All the things. Everything. All at once. Welcome back to Well Being.   This week it’s just Theo and Andy holding down the fort as they ease back into rhythm after the holidays. Sparks of Inspiration kick things off with glass-blowing competition shows, Edgar Wright rewatches, heavy video game rotations, and spinning the wheel on nightly comfort gaming.   In the mental health portion, the conversation turns toward work-life balance, respecting time off, setting boundaries with notifications, and why focusing on one meaningful goal might be healthier than chasing a dozen at once. The two reflect on resolutions, therapy check-ins, burnout, and learning how to actually rest without guilt.   From there, it’s full Goblin Mode. The discussion explores what it means to feel truly at home—maximalism vs. minimalism, curated clutter, creative spaces, rotating collections, and why “less is more” doesn’t always apply to people who love their stuff. From coffee setups and office reorganization to lightsabers on the wall, this episode embraces comfort, personality, and building spaces that reflect who you are right now.   It’s cozy, reflective, a little chaotic, and very goblin. Be well. Just ’cause you’re feeling a little strange.

    Ep. 112 - Goblin Mode Activated: Perfectionism, Play, and Permission Slips

    We’re back in the new year and checking in — resolutions, realities, and all the weird little habits that follow us into January. Theo and Kel kick things off with Sparks of Inspiration, diving into video games as healthy escapism, rediscovering Doctor Who, filling the Severance-shaped void with mysterious TV, and finding joy in actually finishing long-form games instead of doom scrolling into oblivion.   In the mental health portion, we do a real New Year check-in: what’s working, what isn’t, and why “baby steps” might be the most sustainable way forward. From cutting back on energy drinks to navigating therapy, medication adjustments, gratitude practices, and creative momentum, this episode is about being honest without being harsh.   We also tackle perfectionism — how it shows up in our art, our homes, our bodies, and even the clothes we wear to the grocery store — and ask what might happen if we loosen the grip just a little. That conversation leads us straight into Goblin Mode: giving ourselves permission to rest, create imperfectly, be cozy, play games, make messes, and exist without constantly performing productivity.   This episode is about letting go, tuning back in, and remembering that progress doesn’t have to be loud or polished to be real.   Just cause you’re feeling a little strange — you’re not alone. 🖤 Theme by Affektiv https://open.spotify.com/artist/2dkwCQLY61JvqMmiiBvps3?si=N97bAnDqQkqcSSxVZA0C0Q https://soundcloud.com/affektiv Email us: WellBeing.Podcast@outlook.com YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@WellBeingpod

    Ep.111 - Twixmas Goblins & Gentle Resolutions

    Welcome back to Well Being, caught right in that strange liminal space between Christmas and New Year’s — aka Twixmas. The days feel blurry, productivity is optional, and next year’s problems can absolutely wait.   We kick things off with our Sparks of Inspiration, swapping holiday highlights, comfort media, and creative joys — from Disneyland dreams and Stranger Things discourse to Hades II, Star Wars games, Doc Martens conversions, and the quiet magic of returning to things you love.   From there, we ease into the mental health portion, unpacking what resolutions actually mean in a world that feels heavy, loud, and demanding. Instead of rigid goals and toxic self-optimization, we explore resolutions as guiding lights — promises rooted in compassion, creativity, movement, and sustainability. We talk fitness without shame, creativity without burnout, work-life balance, planting seeds for future growth, and learning to love making art both alone and together.   Then we drop fully into Goblin Mode 🧌 We shed shame, confess our goblin behaviors, laugh through messiness, doomscrolling, food choices, jacket piles, and creative chaos — all while questioning perfectionism and the unrealistic standards we’ve been taught to uphold.   This episode is cozy, honest, funny, and reflective — a permission slip to enter the new year without pressure, without punishment, and without pretending you’ve got it all figured out.   As always: Be well. Don’t let them tell you to change — just because you feel a little strange.
