Why I Walked Out of a Sound Bath | When Wellness Becomes Performance

This week, I did something I’ve never done before - I walked out of a sound bath halfway through. Then I went to a breathwork session that felt eerily like a cult. Both experiences made me realise how far modern wellness has drifted from its purpose.In this episode, I unpack why so many wellness practices now feel performative rather than healing; more about being seen to be “working on yourself” than actually feeling better. I talk about the way movements like clean eating and body positivity started as genuine acts of self-care, only to be hijacked by branding, aesthetics, and algorithms.What happens when wellness becomes performance? And what would it look like if no one could see it?Connect with me:🌿 Instagram https://www.instagram.com/emmaguns/📰 Substack https://emmaguns.substack.com/🎧 Listen to past episodes https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-emma-guns-show/id1102982843Hey!
