A wellmate.me podcast · Australia & beyond

The conversations behind the practice.

Meaningful talks with wellness facilitators and community leaders doing the quiet, careful work, heard for the depth of it, not the volume of their posting.

Hosted by Eduardo Rivas · based in Melbourne, recorded anywhere

Why this exists

The facilitators and community builders who quietly serve others carry so much, stories of challenge, of inspiration, of hard-won wisdom. This is their microphone.

Because sometimes we're one quote, one phrase, one connection away from changing our lives for the better. And when these stories get heard, they don't just move one person, they ripple out. That's how we start changing the world, together.

What the show is
Heart-led facilitators shouldn't have to become influencers to be heard. So we give them a room.

Behind The Practice is a long-form conversation with the people who hold space for others, breathwork facilitators, wellness guides, healers, retreat organisers, holistic therapists, life coaches, the practitioners doing work that doesn't fit in a thirty-second clip.

Each episode goes past the offering and into the person: how they found the work, what it asks of them, what they've learned holding rooms full of strangers. Slower, warmer, and more honest than the feed usually allows.

Eduardo Rivas, host of Behind The Practice
Your host

I'm Eduardo. I host the conversations worth slowing down for.

I grew up in Mexico City and have built my life in Australia for almost a decade now, somewhere between technology, conscious community, and the dance floor. My days go into building tools for wellness facilitators and community builders. My evenings go into the rooms they hold.

Behind The Practice came out of a simple frustration: the people doing the most careful work are often the quietest online. This is my way of handing them the microphone, and learning out loud alongside them.

Come sit with these conversations.

Be a guest

If you serve, hold space, and care about co-creation, this is your stage…

  • You've got stories worth telling, of challenge, of inspiration, of what the work has taught you.
  • You do work that's hard to compress into a clip, and you'd rather talk about it properly.
  • You want to be heard for the depth of the practice, not your posting schedule.
  • You're up for an honest, unhurried conversation, no script, no selling.
