8: Self-Care Spending Trap: When Wellness Becomes Overconsumption


Listen Later

We have a bit of a lighter episode planned this week and second part coming tomorrow in order to help distract you and keep you company during this election week! In this conversation, Amanda White, LPC and Sam Dalton, LCSW discuss the frustration and misinformation surrounding wellness trends and beauty standards. They highlight the dangers of believing in made-up terms like 'cortisol face' and the pressure to constantly fix perceived flaws. They emphasize the importance of seeking professional advice and being mindful of the content we consume. The conversation also touches on the need for self-discipline, self-awareness, and the acceptance of our natural human experiences.

In this conversation, Sam and Amanda discuss the culture of overconsumption and the pressure to constantly buy products in order to improve our lives. They explore the idea that many of these products are unnecessary and can actually contribute to stress and anxiety. They encourage listeners to pause and reflect on their purchasing habits, asking themselves why they feel drawn to certain products and whether they truly need them. They also share their own impulsive and regrettable purchases, highlighting the importance of being intentional with our spending.
