EP- 154- True Wellness VS Consumerism: Which are you practicing?
Wellness Secrets vs Consumerism- Too often we intertwine and confuse the two -- one should be free and available to us at all times and the other should be completely separate as a shopping experience- for companies focused on profit should remain a consumer facing for profit business. There's nothing wrong with a for profit company - I would say it is important to know the difference and know wellness is a free and available practice to all. Here are some of my fave free ways to well & sites I love - written by each individual posted below. A free meditation is avail at the end of this podcast. xx thank you for listening xxCandice
