Why Modern Wellness Trends Aren’t Making You Healthy

Join me in a conversation that goes far deeper than wellness trends.

It’s about imperfection. It’s about energy. It’s about finding wholeness by embracing all parts of yourself, not just the polished ones.

I sat down with Luuk Melisse, founder of Sanctum, a global mindful movement community that blends ancient spiritual practices with modern music, movement, and storytelling. Luuk opens up about his personal journey of loss, ambition, spirituality, and what it truly means to live between two worlds, the material and the spiritual.

Together, we dive into why the wellness industry may have become too sexy, why perfection culture is harming us, and how movement, music, meditation, and emotion can come together to create real transformation. This is an honest, grounded conversation about purpose, presence, and redefining success as service.

Conversation Highlights:

* What Sanctum really is and why it’s more than a workout

* Why Luuk believes “the future of wellness is ugly”

* Perfection culture vs. true healing

* How music and movement shift energy

* Meditation, energy protection, and the concept of Nazar (evil eye)

* Vipassana meditation and the power of silence

* Somatic movement and emotional release

* Finding purpose by going inward

* Why happiness comes from accepting everything you are

Who this episode is for:

* Anyone feeling disconnected or overwhelmed by wellness trends

* People tired of chasing perfection and craving something real

* Those curious about spirituality without the fluff

* Anyone seeking purpose, balance, and deeper self-awareness

* Wellness practitioners, founders, and conscious creators

✨ “You are the love, you are the rage, you are the pain and accepting all of it is how you find happiness.”
