^^believe it or not, “wellness” doesn’t HAVE too look like this 😉 WHO KNEW?!
Okay I’m getting *spicyyy* today!
The topic of my unpopular opinions about wellness culture is something I’ve wanted to write about for a LONG time, but I didn’t quite know how to go about it.
I know this content may seem a bit funny coming from me because I think many of you may identify me as a ~wellness influencer~, but today I want to break down where I do (and more accurately where I DON’T) resonate with this culture of self-care and fancy face masks and goji berry smoothies and exotic supplements and all-natural this and nontoxic that…
Now don’t get me wrong. I do think there’s a LOT of merit to this movement. Like, why wouldn’t I support focusing on things that promote health, make us feel good, and inspire us to take care of ourselves?!
And, TBH, I do *genuinely* enjoy a lot of things I am kind of mocking in this post (hot yoga, delicious smoothies, natural remedies, and matching sets, oh my!).
SO. While I may never fulllllllly denounce any movement that intends to promote health & self-love….
I do think there’s nuance to this movement on a smaller level, and there are certain aspects of the ~wellness~ industry that just simply do NOT resonate with me.
So buckle up — this is a LONG one. (Let’s just say I had a lot of thoughts.)
Let’s dig in.
wait, wait— hold up! access to this full post is for my paid subscribers only 😉
