Show Notes

What do we mean when we talk about "Wellness" today? We know that it’s a multi-billion dollar industry built on products and services centered on “self-care”, and we also understand that to be "well", means much more than purchasing the latest green powder.


This is part two of a three-part series we’ll be speaking with several guests to unpack the nuanced and complex layers of what it means to work, take part, and profit from the (capital W) Wellness industry.


This week we’re chatting with Danielle Friedman about her incredible work on the history of women’s fitness from the 60s onward and how this history informs our most complex notions of what it means to be well in our bodies today.
