What happens when the wellness industry becomes the very thing we need to detox from? Why are some people more comfortable buying crystals than confronting capitalism? What if your yoga practice, your organic groceries, and your mindfulness apps aren’t actually making the world more just? In this episode, host Hawah Kasat sits down with Kerri Kelly, wellness activist and author of American Detox: The Myth of Wellness and How We Can Truly Heal. The conversation tackles the deep-rooted inequities within the wellness industry, examining how concepts like capitalism, white supremacy, and patriarchy infiltrate our self-care practices. Kerri shares her personal journey from losing her stepfather on 9/11 to realizing that wellness culture often perpetuates the very systems it aims to heal. Together, they explore collective care, the limits of individual wellness, and the need for systemic change to achieve true healing. This episode offers a profound perspective on how real wellness goes beyond personal optimization and moves toward collective liberation.
