- S2:E11 - Insert witty title here
Send us a text
Greetings and welcome to this week’s podcast! Today’s episode is full of lively discussions about my concerns with pop culture wellness influencers. This topic seems to be my “that one time at band camp,” but I’m totally okay with that. Sometimes you have to say things multiple times so the words can flow to all the right places.
A little bit of full disclosure here - I’m falling behind on weekly blog posts. It’s my constant struggle - take 3 hours to write a post, or use that time to help others and make things. Shew…this being human is for a real a guest house.“We cannot live in a world that is interpreted for us by others. An interpreted world is not a hope. Part of the terror is to take back our own listening. To use our own voice. To see our own light.” ― Hildegard of Bingen
58 min - S2:E10 - How Culture Defines Wellness Work (in the digital age)
Send us a text
In today’s episode I cover quite a few threads in the tapestry of my topic - how the culture defines wellness work (of any flavor) in the digital age.
Highlights are:
- the cultural double standard that hinders wellness practitioners in conventional and integrative care
- how to look for a good practitioner, of any genre
- a brief description of what it means to get a “cold reading”
- how to stop asking your friends who own their own business for free things
- questions to ask a provider/practitioner
