what a healthy reminder that wellness rarely looks good (in a glamorous pinterest -esque kind of way). the essay was a good way to tie in how low attention spans and the need to keep up with trends really amplifies the lack of impulse control that constantly consuming enables.
love this. a conversation about how we have a lot more agency as consumers than we give ourselves credit for, is a conversation I'm always willing to have!
the wellness rabbithole is ENDLESS. when I really rile myself up, I'm like, "are the wellness girlies the next blue zone diet??" but then I remind myself that I should find what works for *me* - not just what corporatized wellness brands say will work
I think wellness gives us a semblance of control in a world where we literally have 0 actual control. And you know what I love that for us.
Always a much needed reminder. We have no control so let’s have fun!!!

Great point that I didn’t even consciously articulate! Impulse control as a subject deserves a substack series of its own…

We should definitely be hanging out 🤓

So true! Loved this read and can only relate.
We recently wrote about how wellness deserves an own, personal definition.
In case you want to read it :)
