is trendy self care actually toxic? ep.6...

Alex Adams
About this episode

Is self-care actually helping us, or are we falling for trends that might be doing more harm than good? This is a question I’ve found myself asking repeatedly, especially as wellness practices flood our feeds with promises of healing and transformation. On this week’s episode, I dive into the world of trendy self-care practices—what they claim to do, why they’re so appealing, and the hidden ways they might be counterproductive. I hope this episode resonates with you and sparks reflection. Let me know what you think—you might be surprised to discover how your own self-care routine stacks up. I love you all, enjoy.
