The Wellness Deception: Breaking Free from the Quick-Fix Trap Inspired by Ebony Rooks

In this episode, we challenge the myths of the wellness industry and explore why quick fixes often leave us feeling worse, not better. Inspired by Ebony Rooks’ groundbreaking work, we unpack how the promise of instant transformation exploits our insecurities and shifts blame onto individuals, rather than addressing deeper, systemic issues. Discover why true wellness is a slow, intentional journey rooted in self-respect and holistic care, and how rejecting quick-fix culture can lead to more authentic healing—especially for Black women navigating unique challenges in health and self-care. Join us as we reclaim wellness from marketing hype and embrace a path that honors our bodies, our stories, and our communities.
