Sexual wellness is often reduced to physical sensation - but what if it could be the key to mental clarity, relationship harmony and professional success?

Today, Emilie sits down with Dr. Tara to explore the three dimensions of sexual health that most people ignore.

We dig into the root causes of the low self-esteem epidemic among women and challenge the restrictive cultural scripts we inherited from previous generations.

Dr. Tara explains the tangible ROI of an orgasm and why "sex positivity" is about more than just being open-minded. We also navigate the dark side of digital intimacy, from the dehumanization of AI sex bots to the misogyny lurking in your DMs. This is a candid look at how reclaiming your sexuality can fundamentally change how you show up in the world.

Wellness has never been louder, or more confusing. From six week bikini plans to “wellness-washed” products promising miracle quick fixes, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed before you’ve even made breakfast.

This week on Well Enough, Emilie Lavinia sits down with Ella Mills, founder of Deliciously Ella. Ella sprung into the public eye in the early 2010s as a food blogger and has gone on to build one of the UK’s most trusted plant-based brands. She’s watched the wellness industry grow into a multi-trillion-dollar machine and she’s refreshingly honest about what’s gone wrong along the way.

Ella shares what it really takes to build a household name, how she balances entrepreneurship with family life, and why true health has nothing to do with quick fixes or perfection.
