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:

  1. What capitalism is and how it all started.
  2. How the wellness industry and capitalism are tied together like BFFs.
  3. Things you really need to keep in mind when purchasing wellness services, courses, coaching, and products.
  4. The evolution of influencer culture and building a personal brand.
  5. Internalized capitalism and how building a better world starts as an inside job.
  6. How to deconstruct capitalism without burning out or having a panic attack.
