When you don’t embody whiteness or have access to those types of resources, it’s almost as if you’re not welcomed authentically into wellness or that your wellness is not prioritized, or it’s somehow your fault that you are seeking wellness or don’t have that in your life as readily as other people.
Ever wondered why wellness spaces often feel exclusive? In this eye-opening episode of 'My Sober BFF', hosts Ally and Gaby dive deep into the often-overlooked issues of race, privilege, and accessibility within the wellness industry. Joined by yoga teachers Francine Taylor and Shri Diehl, they unravel the complexities of cultural appropriation and the commercialization of sacred practices. The conversation is candid and thought-provoking, tackling uncomfortable truths about how wellness is often white-washed and who gets left out in the process.
Francine Taylor shares, 'When you don’t embody whiteness or have access to those types of resources, it’s almost as if you’re not welcomed authentically into wellness or that your wellness is not prioritized.' This episode isn’t just for those already aware of these issues but also for anyone willing to push past discomfort to gain a broader perspective. With personal anecdotes and heartfelt stories, this episode offers a fresh look at making wellness more inclusive and equitable for everyone.
Whether you're part of the wellness community or just curious about these pressing issues, this episode is a must-listen. It's a step towards understanding and dismantling the barriers that keep wellness from being truly universal.
