S1E1: WDF: Bootstraps, SUP Boards, and Burnout

Welcome to Wellness Dumpster Fire or WDF! Hosts Dr. Kat and Sam are sisters who delve into the complex world of wellness and its weaponization in modern society. They explore how societal pressures and neoliberal ideology have turned wellness into a tool of blame, pushing individuals to balance impossible demands. Through personal anecdotes and insightful discussions, they challenge the notion of work-life balance and highlight the systemic issues that make true well-being elusive. Join them as they navigate the intersection of wellness, neoliberalism, and the quest for genuine self-care. WE SEEK THE WELLNESS!
