This week Veronica comes clean about her problems with the current fads of wellness and questions if the things that are marketed to us to be “well” are actually making us well, or simply giving us another thing to either feel guilty about or simply the illusion that we have any control in our lives.
We also speak in the beginning about the heaviness of the news in the wake of the Israel Palestine conflict and are sharing some materials (from both sides) that we dove into to educate ourselves further if you’re looking to do the same.
