Self-Care isn’t for Sale

Self-care got rebranded somewhere between a Sephora sale and a $98 candle — and honestly, we’re calling it out. In this episode, Ashlie and Alexis unpack the glossy illusion that self-care is something you can purchase, questioning the billion-dollar wellness machine that quietly profits from our exhaustion and insecurity. If you’ve ever felt like you’re failing at “wellness” because your routine doesn’t come with a receipt, this conversation is the reality check you didn’t know you needed.Together, they redefine what care actually looks like: rest that doesn’t require permission, boundaries that protect your peace, and the radical act of doing less in a world obsessed with productivity.
