When Healing Becomes a Performance

from Wander & Weave · host Brooklin C. Buchanan

What happens when the journey of healing becomes another mask to wear?In this raw and reflective episode, I open up about my own experience navigating the pressure to do wellness right — from spending money I didn’t have to chasing every tool, trick, and supplement in hopes of finally “fixing” myself.This isn’t a call-out. It’s a call inward — back to truth, back to simplicity, and back to your own body.I talk about:How perfectionism sneaks into the spiritual and wellness spaceWhy healing doesn’t need to be expensive, aesthetic, or performativeMy castor oil pack mishap (yes, really)What it actually means to heal on your own termsLearning to stop performing and just… be humanThis episode is for anyone who’s felt like they’re not doing healing “right” or wondered if they’re falling behind. Spoiler: you’re not. You’re healing in your own time, and that’s more than enough.Take this with you: Less noise. More truth.You don’t have to earn your healing — just feel it, live it, and trust it.→ Connect with me on Instagram: @brooklincbuchanan

Epics of Rome Dr Rhiannon Evans This subject explores Ancient Roman epic poetry, the literary genre which deals with grand mythical narratives involving heroes, gods, war, and love affairs. Epic was the most prestigious literary form in the ancient world. Roman poets adapted and developed Greek epic, particularly influenced by the Homeric Iliad and Odyssey. Roman epics similarly deal with divine and heroic material, but Roman poets also weave contemporary and topical themes into the mythical subject matter. The primary text for this subject is Ovid's Metamorphoses, which tells many comic tales of the gods in love and encounters between heroes and monsters through a series of transformations. Epics which influenced Ovid will also be studied, such as the Greek epics of Homer, the early Roman epics of Naevius and Ennius, and Virgil's Aeneid, which was the most significant influence on Ovid. We shall also consider Ovid as a major influence upon Western artists and writers, from Shakespeare to David Malouf.
