About This Podcast

Welcome to self-care with a conscience—where science, spirituality, and sustainability are brunch buddies. Self-Helpless explores all things on the cutting edge of personal and collective growth with leading specialists who share paradigm-shifting insights every week. Hosted by Delanie Fischer, known for her casual but fluff-free approach, Self-Helpless garners millions of downloads and aims to close the gap between one-dimensional self-help and everyday activism. Themes include conscious consumption, integrative health, cognitive neuroscience, reality studies, social conditioning, creativity, belief, and purpose (but, ya know, fun). New episodes each week—making commutes, tasks, or bedtime existential crises more majestic.
