"Harvard-trained dermatologist Dr. Mary Alice Mina has a name for it:
**The Hot Girl Hamster Wheel.**
It's that endless list of things you're supposedly supposed to do:
Wake up at 5 AM.
Journal.
Cold plunge.
Meditate.
Perfect your skincare routine.
Take all the supplements.
And somewhere along the way, self-care starts feeling like another full-time job.
As Dr. Mina shares with Andrea Miller, we've turned wellness and beauty into a performance instead of asking a much simpler question:
**What do I actually enjoy?**
Maybe you love getting your hair done.
Maybe you love Botox.
Maybe you love skincare.
Maybe you love long walks.
And maybe there are a dozen other things you can stop doing altogether.
Because the goal isn't to do everything.
The goal is to find the practices that genuinely make you feel good â and give yourself permission to say no to the rest.
Sometimes the healthiest thing you can do is step off the hamster wheel.
