Substack: Wicked Problems Defy Simple Solutions
Thursday, 10 September, 2026
Send us Fan MailDon't let them bring you down.If you have spent even a year or two in this profession, I bet you have felt a familiar, exhausting sense of déjà vu. We keep having the same arguments about entry-level education, whether we belong in hospitals or high-end spas. We argue about franchise pay and work conditions, the definition of “professionalism,” and we wonder vaguely (but never actually measure or study!) what might be behind the staggering rate of early-career burnout.Our struggles as massage therapists do not stem from a lack of trying. They stem from an inability and an unwillingness to look at the size of the problem and all of its unseemly tentacles.We are living and working inside a wicked problem and wicked problems will never be solved by effort alone.Support the showSubscribe to our Substack: "More Than Hands"Send us an email: podcast@healwell.orgLeave us a voice message: 703-468-1799 Check out our interview-style podcast: InterdisciplinaryYou can support Healwell and the cool things we make by donating here!Ways join in:Leave us a review on Apple PodcastsCheck out Healwell’s live and online classesContinue the conversation with a free 3-day trial of the Healwell CommunityFind a copy of Rebecca Sturgeon's book: "Oncology Massage: An Integrative Approach to Cancer Care"Thank you to ABMP and AMTA for sponsoring us!Healwell is a 501(c)(3) non-profit based out of the Washington DC area.
