Maya had always been good at being good. For fifteen years, she had followed the wellness lifestyle with the devotion of a monk. She woke at 5:00 AM for a 10k run, her morning smoothie was a precise blend of spinach, spirulina, and unsweetened almond milk, and her Instagram grid was a meticulously curated grid of oat milk lattes, sunset yoga poses, and captions about "listening to her body."

She realized that true wellness isn't a destination where you're finally "thin enough" or "fit enough"—it’s the daily practice of being kind to the home you live in.
