Today your host Jaidyn takes you through a solo episode where she explains her backstory and why she started a podcast. Describing her fitness journey, food sensitivities, and anxiety diagnosis among other experiences, Jaidyn goes beyond the taglines and discusses health on a deep level while managing a world of health and wellness products that promise you the epitome of health.

If you want to know how to take agency in your health and wellness journey, you first have to know how to question what you see. 

Today, we learn the difference between how society defines ‘mindfulness’ and how we define the mindful marketplace. The latter concept encourages you to view health and wellness  trends differently. 

We discuss the book “Psychology of Habits” by the father of philosophy, William James, and how it relates to the modern day world. Jaidyn discusses these habit-forming practices using evidence-based theories and strategies for their implementation.

After you listen, you’ll know how to make informed decisions involving buying products and forming habits for your very own healthy life.
