Recently, we talked about how wellness has become performative. How it was more about&nbsp;looking&nbsp;serene than actually&nbsp;feeling&nbsp;or being it.This week, I’m taking that idea further. Because wellness isn’t just performative, I think it has become&nbsp;exclusive.&nbsp;It’s a club with an unspoken dress code, a price tag, and a very specific aesthetic.From £300 yoga mats to Alo tracksuits and the sacred Stanley cup, the modern wellness world isn’t about health, it’s about&nbsp;belonging.&nbsp;We’ll talk about:<ul><li>Why 'inclusive' wellness is often just clever marketing</li><li>The new uniform of wellbeing (and why trainer socks are apparently an indicator of age/being out of fashion)</li><li>How thin privilege and class still shape who gets to be 'well'</li><li>Why you never see wellness marketed to men - and what that says about who the industry’s really serving</li><li>And how ancient cultural practices became content for Instagram</li></ul>This isn’t a takedown of self-care, it’s a reality check on what wellness culture has become: a glossy performance that often leaves people out.Maybe real wellness isn’t something you can buy, post, or prove.Maybe it’s the small, unfiltered things that actually keep you human.🎧&nbsp;Listen now&nbsp;for a wry, honest look at the business, aesthetics, and quiet absurdities of modern wellness culture.🌿 Instagram <a href="https://www.instagram.com/emmaguns/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.instagram.com/emmaguns/</a>📰 Substack <a href="https://emmaguns.substack.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://emmaguns.substack.com/</a>🎧 Listen to past episodes <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-emma-guns-show/id1102982843" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-emma-guns-show/id1102982843</a>Hey!
