Jonni and Maria chat about our take on the wellness industry, and our own definitions, dilemmas, and habits.We question the blurring lines between beauty, health and diet culture. We dish on benefits, placebos, body positivity, how our brains work and if wellness industry players have good intentions or if some are grifters. We share many resources and also explore how privilege and white supremacy play into the wellness industry (trust us, there's a thread!) and howGen Z'ers view wellness and body image these days.
And please fact-check us if we got anything wrong! We are nothing if not humble and eager to learn.
Plus, mall shopping, Harry Potter world,adult purchases that bring us embarrassing joy (new windows and couches!), and more tomfoolery.
