48. The Problem With Wellness

Ever wonder how "wellness culture" got so messed up? In this episode, we sat down with Herbalist and activist Miriam Latif (aka @___understory) to do a deep dive into how Wellness and Wellness Culture exists in our contemporary world, how it got to be so focused on consuming, and how to move back to a place of connectedness and true, authentic wellness both on the individual and communal level. Miriam shared with us about how she navigates being a practitioner in the wellness world while also holding her values and intentions in a place of connection to land, to community, to mythology, and to authenticity, with a super raw sense of groundedness and realism. We are SO excited for you to dive into this one, and to reflect on your relationship to wellness and what wellness means to you with us. As always, we'd super appreciate if you could drop us a comment, a like, a review, and a good old tap on the subscribe button to help us continue this beautiful, beloved Bloom journey. We love you BloomSquad, thanks for being here xx Tay & Emma This episode is sponsored by Momotaro Apotheca Song: Flower Wall by Cospe Tarot Deck: NeoTarot by Jerico Mandyburr
