Welcome to The Lavish Well

If you’ve just joined us, consider this your invitation into the heart of The Lavish Well.
If you’ve been here since the beginning, welcome back to the fire we’ve been tending together.

THE NEW STANDARD: 15 ISSUES DEEP 

We’re not just growing—we’re igniting.

A +337% subscriber increase signals something undeniable: women are hungry for a different kind of well-being.

Not the surface-level “self-care” kind. The Lavish Well has become a sanctuary for high-achievers unwilling to sacrifice their bodies for their success—women ready to lead, live, and create from a resourced core.

Below: the 7 issues that cracked open new paradigms for our readers.
For each, you’ll find:

  • A distilled lens still reverberating

  • A featured resource, tool, or product

  • A link to the full issue for deep re-immersion

Note: This is the first in a recurring Archive series—every 11th issue will gather the most powerful insights, rituals, and resources from the previous 10 issues and present them for your catch-up or re-enjoyment.

These are the topics that have most resonated with the women in our audience—what you have returned to again and again for clarity, embodiment, and sovereign strength.

#1: 🔥 Issue 12 — Inflammation Is Information

Lens: Inflammation isn't a malfunction—it’s your body speaking in fire, illuminating the places you've overridden your inner knowing. It’s not something to suppress, but something to interpret. This issue offers a path to stop fighting the flames and start understanding their message.

Featured Tools:

  • ✍️ The Body Intelligence Inquiry (7-day practice created by Dr. Erin Martin)

  • 🌿 Temple Restoration Protocol (nervous system + digestive recalibration)

  • ☀️ Golden Sun Milk and 🌙 Golden Moon Milk (Ayurvedic rituals for inflammation)

Why revisit: This issue reframes chronic symptoms as a form of initiation. It’s for the woman tired of silencing her body and ready to begin decoding its sacred language.

#2: 💎 Issue 10 — The Luxury of Not Having to Prove Your Worth

Lens: Worth isn’t earned—it’s embodied. The deepest luxury is living without apology or performance. We delve deeper into the nervous system mechanics of worthiness and uncover why your value isn't tied to productivity. It invites you to decouple your identity from your output, and instead rest into a felt sense of enoughness—without needing to prove anything.

Featured Tools:

  • 📄 The Desire Edit — a 5-step free guide to desire-led decision making (created by Dr. Erin Martin)

  • 💍 Worthiness Anchors — jewelry and sensory reminders of your inherent value

Why revisit: When proving gets exhausting, this is your reentry point into sovereignty. Not hustle. Not more doing. Just being.

#3: 🧬 Issue 11 — Intelligent Fitness for Women

Lens: Movement should regulate, not deplete. This issue dismantles the performative fitness industry and replaces it with a somatic, seasonal, hormone-informed rhythm. It’s about working with your biology, not against it—movement that builds capacity rather than burns it out. Especially for women in high-output seasons, this issue reframes fitness as fuel for clarity, creativity, and wholeness.

Featured Tools:

  • 🧘 A Week of Nervous-System Supportive Movement

  • 💧 Deep Hydration Protocol with Pique Life

Why revisit: If your workouts leave you tired, inflamed, or disconnected, this issue gives you permission—and protocol—for re-attunement.

Your body is changing. Your training should too.

#4: 🧖‍♀️ Issue 09 — Your Skin Doesn’t Lie—It Translates Truth

Lens: Skin isn’t surface—it’s a sensory oracle. Every breakout, patch, and glow is your nervous system, hormones, and immune system speaking in real time. This issue invites you to stop battling your skin and start understanding what it’s trying to say.

Featured Tools:

  • 🧴 Ayurvedic Beauty Balm by Banyan Botanicals

  • 🌿 Radiant Skin Protocol + Ayurvedic Skin Type Quiz

  • 💊 Healthy Skin + Women’s Support supplements

  • 🌱 Shankara Skincare Line (science-backed Ayurvedic care)

Why revisit: This issue reclaims skin as intelligence, not imperfection. For women ready to decode their body’s outer truth—and respond with devotion.

#5: 🌬️ Issue 06 — When the System Crashes Quietly

Lens: You don’t need to break down to reset. This is your invitation to recognize nervous system depletion before it becomes a full-body shutdown. It explores what happens when high-functioning becomes low-resourced, and how to return to your rhythm before it becomes a crisis. A must-read for the woman who’s outwardly on-point but inwardly running on fumes.

Featured Tools:

  • 🎧 Breathwork for Spiritual Practice by David Elliott (Spotify + Apple Music)

  • 🛌 Bedtime before the second wind (Ayurvedic rhythm restoration)

  • 🛼 Play, tears, joy, stillness—as pathways of regulation

Why revisit: If your high-functioning life masks low-functioning reserves, this issue meets you in that quiet edge—and offers real-world tools for resourcing.

#6: 🪞 Issue 01 — A New Standard of Feminine Well-Being

Lens: This is the manifesto. A return to resourced, sovereign vitality built on the LAVISH framework—Love, Abundance, Vitality, Intuition, Self-Expression, and Health. It’s not a list of tips—it’s a foundation for how to live and lead in alignment. If you’ve ever felt like you’re performing wellness instead of living it, this is your origin point.

Featured Tools:

  • 👘 The Silk Robe Ritual — regulation through sensuality

Why revisit: This issue orients you to the entire ethos. Not a protocol. A remembering. The paradigm shift that’s been waiting to be embodied.

#7: 🕯️ Issue 02 — The Lavish Path to True Well-being

Lens: Wellness is a brand. Well-being is a relationship. This issue explores cyclical intelligence, hormone-honoring rituals, and nervous system attunement through pleasure. Luxury becomes the lever—not the prize. It invites you to experience nourishment not as a reward but as your baseline—a daily act of allegiance to your inner rhythm.

Featured Tools:

  • 🛏️ Evening Glycine Ritual — amino acid for parasympathetic tone

  • 🕯️ The Candle You’ve Been Saving — scent as somatic signal of safety

Why revisit: If you’ve been performing wellness instead of embodying ease, this issue is your reorientation—where luxury becomes medicine.
