I Escaped a Wellness Retreat Before Breakfast

June 22, 2026 · 40 min

Show notes

An expensive wellness retreat was booked. A quiet, nourishing reset was planned. But no TV and no phone? Bruna said..no thanks. Speaking of wellness, Mary claims she cured her warts with witchcraft, and Dr Ginni has some...scientific questions. Creatine is the midlife supplement we hear about more than any, so what does the good Doctor have to say? And how far would you go for your bestie? Because Mary went pretty far to get Bruna a filming permit.

Plus a dilemma: our Unleashers husband has discovered Facebook Marketplace and is convinced he can flip a commercial deep fryer by Tuesday. So entrepreneurial. Our advice is savage. 

In your ears today: Bruna Papandrea, Mary Coustas, Dr Ginni Mansberg and Cath Mahoney.
