How to flip the script on healing and wellness culture by noticing how you already embody all that you yearn for.

Jocelyn reflects on the intersection of capitalism, productivity culture, and the wellness industry and how they each try to lure us into focusing on what we lack, what we are not, what we have yet to accomplish. She offers an alternative perspective: That healing can only occur right here in this moment and that if we accept ourselves as we are, we can see how we already embody so much of what we yearn for.
