Summary

On the cusp of a new year, it's time to talk about what's coming down the pipe in the world of wellness. I sat down with my dear friend Amy Eisinger, Head of content at Well+Good, to talk about their annual wellness trends report and what we should look to focus on in the new year. We talk about the concept of hard vs. soft wellness, the rise of recovery tourism, the power of alone time, and why we should be prioritizing biophilia in 2025. I always learn something new from Amy and this conversation also allowed us to look at what we personally want to prioritize as we look to kick off another year of wellness.
