In a world where "community" has been neatly packaged and branded, what does real belonging look like in wellness spaces? What does it mean when a word like community gets co-opted - reshaped into a shiny aesthetic that misses the heart of true connection?
In this episode I am joined by Raudhah Rahman, a web designer, yoga teacher, cultural retreat host, and equity facilitator.
Together, we explore what genuine, inclusive community looks and feels like - and why we need to trust that inner voice when the vibe feels off. Tune in to discover how questioning wellness norms can be an act of love, bringing us closer to each other and to authentic community.
Tune in as we explore:
How aesthetics can mask a lack of true inclusivity
The gap between curated spaces and genuine connection
Spotting signs of a space that doesn’t align with your values
How inclusive community requires awareness beyond just a checklist
Why true wellness considers the whole person and their needs
