If tomorrow, everyone woke up with a profound and unwavering sense of self-worth, the entire wellness industry would fall apart.

Today we explore the connection between wellness marketing, and the inadequate feeling that drives so much of peoples' behavior. Let's dive in.

Where is the line between pursuing your health goals, and becoming obsessive about your health goals?

Why do we use words like "good" and "bad" when talking about food?

What's the difference between enjoying exercise, and tying your sense of self-worth to your body?

In the wellness world, the word "Transformation" usually equates to a Before and After photo. But what I am asking everyone to do today - regardless of your personal views - is to broaden what the word "Transformation" means to you, and dig into the often-ignored, clunky, challenging, and even brutal process of becoming your true self.

My guest today is Jessica Salazar. Jess grew up in Salt Lake City in an extremely conservative, evangelical Christian environment and was raised to believe that very traditional roles, especially regarding gender, sexuality, relationships, and parenting were the only option for her. In her late 20s-early 30s when her body started telling her something was not right, she began a very long process of unlearning the theology and rigid expectations she had grown up with, in an effort to find a more authentic, whole version of herself. Jess finds herself today on an on-going journey to truly live a brave and shame-free life, and hopes to inspire others to be themselves… no matter the cost.

This week was my birthday, and today I'm sharing some current reflections, as well as my routines and goals in a variety of areas. We cover my daily eating routine and body image realities, as well as my workout plan (and reason why I train the way I do). We also cover some business goals, alcohol, emotional health and therapy, and beyond.

I am entering this new year feeling grateful, loved and content. Thank you as always for your support!

Shannon Cury is a breathwork practitioner, facilitator and personal friend, based in San Diego.

Her first appearance on the show was episode 37, and today we catch up, with a focus on the conversation centering around our pursuit of unlearning cultural programming, workaholism, and how radical it can feel to be satisfied. We also hear about her recent 60-days off social media, and what came up for her through that experience.
