  • Real & fun

    I started listening to Isabel around 2019, when she launched her first podcast. I binged it while in Vegas, found her on social media and sent her a drunk DM telling her how much I loved her podcast. We are friends now but I still listen to her podcast like a fan still. She’s a ton of fun and real. She covers a range of topics & finds a way to connect to the audience through her own storytelling. I love how the episode has segments. Go listen! You’ll love it.

  • It’s a vibe!

    I really don’t think I could be this honest with the world. I’m also on a wellness journey and really appreciate this vulnerability (and the sense of humor). Loving this pod!!

  • Actionable tips and real life

    I love this podcast so much. Izzy vulnerably shares her experiences but with tips that will make a positive impact on your actual well being. She’s super thoughtful about the wellness news, tips, the wellness wheel and wellness and chill segments and I always look forward to the next episode! Highly recommend!
