It's a big word.
It's a big word.
And it describes a huge number of different practices.
And it's a term that seems like it's getting broader and broader in definition all the time.
So my first question is,
What even is wellness?
I'm sorry, who's thinking of CBD leggings?
I've never heard of those before.
Gotta get some, Brittany.
They're all the rage.
I'm not on the right email list service.
I tell y'all what.
Today, we're getting into wellness.
It's a global industry worth $6 trillion that's starting to encompass all kinds of things, including spirituality.
From the spirituality of wellness practices like yoga and Reiki to treating wellness itself like a religion.
I want to know, what do people get out of a wellness-based spirituality?
And is it a spirituality of the self?
I sat down with Alyssa Bereznack, wellness editor for the LA Times.
Thank you so much.
