Show Notes
A wellness director at a university saw an opportunity that should have been obvious. A major public health conference was coming up, complete with a wellness section, yoga sessions, and holistic health programming. Her institution's public health department already had a booth reserved. The connection was clear: wellness is public health, and she could bridge both departments while expanding student awareness of career pathways.
But when she proposed attending the conference, her boss dismissed the idea immediately. The message was clear: wellness and public health are separate fields. The opportunity never even reached a budget conversation because leadership couldn't see the public health value from the start.
