  The Wellness Backlash Has Officially Begun

  Sep 22, 20267 min

  Wellness got optimized, medicalized, measured…and maybe we’re all a little tired. Melissa Gellman Weiss is back to talk about the growing revolt against performative wellness, why SoulCycle suddenly feels good again, the rise of bathhouses and curated social clubs, and what underground sex clubs might have to do with all of it. Because maybe the next era of wellness isn’t about doing more for your health. Maybe it’s about connection, pleasure, trust, and remembering that sometimes you just want to feel good.

  The Most Important Part of Wellness No One Talks About: Money

  Sep 15, 202650 min

  We talk constantly about sleep, supplements, hormones, longevity and approximately 4,000 other ways to optimize ourselves. We talk a lot less about the thing sitting underneath almost all of it: money. Heather Loomis has spent her career managing billions of dollars at J.P. Morgan, BlackRock and now for some of the wealthiest families in the country. Her take? Finance has been made way more complicated than it needs to be. We talk financial wellness, what’s happening in the markets right now, the first three things everyone should do with their money, why understanding your finances is really about freedom, and the surprisingly expensive consequences of constantly buying the next thing we're told will make us happier, prettier or healthier. Basically: fewer acronyms, smarter decisions, more money working for you.
