“I like this podcast a lot. It’s intelligent and fun. There are a lot of great recommendations—I have started making PB&J sweet potatoes and never looked back. But I think the premise that it’s “anti-Goop” or “the middle income, everywoman’s guide to accessible wellness” is just not true. There are tons of brands mentioned, and none of them are cheap. The idea that Kate and Emma are somehow more in tune with the financial realities of the everyday person who just want to stay healthy is also not really true. It would be interesting to have an episode of this podcast that was more based in lower-middle class realities: like, how to be a wellness god on while on unemployment benefits, or if you have a $10 a month budget for activewear, or a minimum wage job. I feel like until this demographic gets representation in wellness podcasts, they will always be niche, never really relatable to most, and just a (super fun to listen to, addictive) podcast version of Goop for the next generation, with Gen-Z substitutions for all the Goop-recommended brands.”
