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.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
