The podcast previously known as Selfie Development is back with the classic wellness rebrand, minus the scandal!
The wellness industry is as weird and wild as ever, with more of us looking to alternative ways to stay healthy and improve our wellness. But while wellness tells us to drink the green juice, shouldn't we be questioning what's actually in it?
Welcome to Wellness Question, a podcast looking at how to navigate the wellness industry well, hosted by Katie Gordon and Annabel Lee. In each episode, they cover a different aspect of wellness and self-improvement, looking at ethics, scandals, and red flags.
Come and join us as we explore how to do wellness, well.
