Together, they dissect everything from classic literature like Wuthering Heights and modern novels like Normal People to iconic albums like Beyoncé's Lemonade and viral TikTok wellness trends.

Combining sharp humor with compassionate psychological insights, Second Helpings proves that recovery is a journey best navigated with cultural curiosity, vulnerability, and a healthy dose of skepticism toward quick-fix wellness culture.
