Episode 28: The Big Bad Wellness Industry

In today’s episode, Kate and Emma discuss how wellness transformed from a mere concept to a trillion dollar industry. We speak about capitalism, social signifiers, personal responsibility, appropriation, morality, the rise of personal fitness, commodification of self-care, and how wellness has become a new-age religion to arrange power relations. We conclude the conversation by talking about what the future of community building in wellness means in an era of rampant individualism and consumerism.
