Episode description
This episode is special. Not that kind of special but the other kind of special. Yeah, that one. We have more to give our listeners and we want to thank you so much for hanging with us so we have another extra episode for you, because you earned it. In this extra special Friday episode, we cover the topic of Racism in the Wellness Space. Racism has pervaded every aspect of human existence in our current world. You can't turn over a rock without seeing how another industry has been negatively affected by the worst parts or prejudice and discrimination. From fitness to fashion, art and sports, racism is in everything. What made the people of the wellness industry, my industry, think it would be any different?
Using the story of Nicole Cardoza, Kathryn Budig, and the Yoga Journal controversy as our jumping off point, we dive deep and explore how implicit bias, well-meaning language, and overt discrimination finds it way underneath the masks of smiles, inclusion, diversity, and Namaste.
Again and as always, thanks so much for hanging with us as we unlearn the BS and relearn the good stuff.
