Episode 28: The Big Bad Wellness Industry

In today’s episode, Kate and Emma discuss how wellness transformed from a mere concept to a trillion dollar industry. We speak about capitalism, social signifiers, personal responsibility, appropriation, morality, the rise of personal fitness, commodification of self-care, and how wellness has become a new-age religion to arrange power relations. We conclude the conversation by talking about what the future of community building in wellness means in an era of rampant individualism and consumerism.Kate Glavan -- instagram.com/kateglavan/Emma Roepke -- instagram.com/emma.roepke/Sea Moss Girlies -- instagram.com/seamossgirlies/Sea Moss Life Community Platform on Geneva https://links.genevachat.com/invite/03fa1998-a28f-4cc1-8bae-95dec9ecf0e6Use code SEAMOSSGIRLIES for 15% off your order from Joolies Medjool Dates.https://joolies.comUse code SEAMOSSGIRLIES for 10% off your order from 26th and Love. https://26thandlove.com/?ref=NCDgKhQevc1xoVisit PHASEY.CO/SEAMOSS to get 15% off of your order.--- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/wtf-is-sea-moss/supportLearn more about your ad choices.
