68: What is your wellness routine in service of? (solo episode)

Medium Well

In today’s episode, I dive into a topic that’s been on my mind for some time now in regards to wellness. If you’re keeping up with trends, taking fancy supplements and powders, doing the face masks, and beyond— that’s great. But what is it in service of? What are you using your now resilient mind and strong body for? If we aren’t taking care of the collective, showing up to do anti-racism work, and protecting others, what is the point of our wellness?

In this episode, I discuss:

• What is wellness, really?

• Why you should care about anti-racism work if you care about wellness

• How wellness has become commoditized and is oppressive

• How wellness can be overly individualistic and why I believe wellness is about the collective

• What is your wellness is in service of? Why do you take care of yourself?

• Why I engage in wellness practices

• What questions I am reflecting on during this moment

• How I am part of the problem and what I am working on to unravel that
