If you’ve ever spent a weekend feeling completely burnt out while simultaneously crushed by the guilt and shame of not being productive…welcome to the wonderful world of capitalism.
When this happens, we often end turning to wellness spaces to help us feel better, but are we really escaping the effects of capitalism through the wellness industry…or are they just two sides of the same coin?
This week, I’m talking with Rachael Kay Albers about:
- What capitalism is and how it all started.
- How the wellness industry and capitalism are tied together like BFFs.
- Things you really need to keep in mind when purchasing wellness services, courses, coaching, and products.
- The evolution of influencer culture and building a personal brand.
- Internalized capitalism and how building a better world starts as an inside job.
- How to deconstruct capitalism without burning out or having a panic attack.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
