Beneficial or Detrimental? The Five P’s of Wellness

Send us a text

Are the people, habits, and perspectives in your life fueling your flourishing—or quietly draining it? In this candid conversation, Ruth and Tom unpack a deceptively simple filter that can transform every choice: beneficial vs. detrimental. From there, they reveal the Five P’s that either propel us toward thriving or pull us back into mere survival:

1. People – Why the company you keep (including you) shapes every other dimension of health.
2. Purpose – How clarifying “why I’m here” guards you from living everyone else’s agenda.
3. Perspective – Expanding (or shrinking) your worldview and its ripple effects on resilience.
4. Perception – The sensory lens—SOS, anyone?—that colors your emotions and decisions.
5. Passion – Turning reclaimed energy into a laser-focused, life-giving drive.

You’ll hear practical exercises—like the “People List” audit—to diagnose hidden drains, plus stories of extrovert overwhelm, introvert isolation, and the surprising boost of cross-cultural friendships. Whether you’re recalibrating mid-year goals or just feeling “funky,” this episode hands you a roadmap to evaluate every input through a wellness lens.

Listen in and learn how to trade survival mode for sustainable, whole-person thriving—one beneficial choice at a time.
