50: How Wellness Culture Weaponizes Women's Health & Ferility

In this rant-y episode, we dive into the intersection of wellness culture, toxic positivity, and women's reproductive health after a viral clip from Lauryn Bosstic claiming her positive mindset was the reason she got pregnant on her first try.In conversation, we tackle:* The harmful impact of telling women their fertility struggles are due to not being "positive enough"* How wellness influencers oversimplify complex medical issues and profit from women's desperation* The "wellness to MAHA pipeline" and how legitimate health concerns are being co-opted by conservative movements* The historical context of women's healthcare and how medicine has systematically dismissed women's concerns* The alarming connection between manifesting culture and blaming women for their health struggles* The evolutionary perspective on childbirth and why it's never been a "natural" or "health-neutral" eventWE ARE NOW ON SUBSTACK with bonus episodes, pep talks, episodes guides, and so much more!
