Would You Be Well? By Claire Mckenna

Clare McKenna takes a gentler, more realistic route into wellbeing, focusing on habits that feel possible rather than punishing. Down-to-earth and encouraging, this is a strong recommendation for readers tired of rigid wellness culture and looking for something more humane.

Clare McKenna has worked as a broadcaster in TV and radio for over twenty-five years. She began presenting Newstalk's health and wellness show Alive and Kicking in 2019 and this sparked an exploration into her own relationship with her wellbeing. After embarking on a deep dive for the show and a national newspaper, Clare began to move away from the clutches of diet culture towards a life where a healthy relationship with food and body was prioritised and, in turn, so was her wellbeing. Impassioned to share this message with others Clare went on to become an Integrative Health Coach to promote lifestyle and preventative medicine. She now hosts events championing individualised wellbeing in small achievable steps, cutting through the noise and overwhelm to empower people to feel as good as they can for as long as they can. Clare is also a master breathwork teacher.

• Enjoy wellness books that feel practical rather than preachy
• Are looking for realistic habits built around balance, ease and self-compassion
• Like approachable guidance that fits around busy everyday life
• Want an encouraging, down-to-earth read with plenty of usable ideas
