0:00.0	Hi friends, welcome to the Wabi Sabi podcast episode number 92.
0:10.5	So we're talking about being unwell and how hype has no part in wellness.
0:18.6	It has been almost 20 years since I've been in the biz, and 20 years ago,
0:24.7	my agent said verbatim, wellness and health will never be mainstream. Now, here we are 20 years later,
0:33.7	and it is a multi-billion dollar industry that is so toxic that we find ourselves contemplating
0:40.6	what is true wellness and who the fuck are all these people crowding our space. Welcome to the
0:48.7	Wabi-Sabi podcast where we get very authentically real because it's truly all of God left.
0:55.7	In a sea full of phonies and fakes, it has been extremely difficult to stay in this field and stay sane, might I add.
1:05.2	I did a interview with Wondermind today, Selena Gomez's amazing mental health and wellness company where she

1:39.5	words that she sings to men and women, or all beings, when it comes to being well, being real.
1:48.7	As I've said to my friends on the almost 30 podcast, Krista and Lindsay, when we were having a deep
1:54.2	conversation years ago, how are you possibly going to practice wellness if you can't even be a real person? Living in
2:04.0	LA, like I've said in podcast 91, to my own mother, is an absolute destructive distortion
2:11.6	to the true practice of wellness. First I'll define what wellness is and then we'll go into the different types of
2:19.3	wellness that you can practice that are real and free and accessible to everyone as they should be.
2:26.5	So true wellness is a practice where we are mindful of what we are doing. We are self-aware
2:32.1	and we are living with moral integrity, which means we
2:35.8	practice what we preach. And I've been around enough fake and phony people to know one when I see one,
