 "You're supposed to be striving for more, but also be really pleased with what you've got... You're never supposed to be seen wanting. You're supposed to be just filled with gratitude for everything that you have, but also constantly trying." -Amy LaroccaListen in as Dr. Jennifer Reid chats with Amy Larocca, former New York Magazine fashion director and author of How to Be Well: Navigating Our Self-Care Epidemic, One Dubious Cure at a Time. Amy pulls back the curtain on how the wellness industry has become the new fashion industry—using the same aspirational marketing tactics to make women feel perpetually inadequate.If you've ever felt guilty for being "just fine" or pressured to optimize every aspect of your life, this episode is your permission slip to stop. Amy's journey from fashion journalism to wellness investigation reveals the dangerous messaging targeting women and offers a refreshing antidote to optimization culture.Key Quotes:On the pressure to optimize:"It feels irresponsible to be satisfied with fine... especially if you're a woman, it's like, okay, well, what about my family? Like, who am I, if I'm saying that's okay. Should be trying to optimize at all times."On the myth of returning to yourself:"The idea that the self is fixed...if I could piece together what this self that we're endlessly being sold promises...but it's not a sustainable idea of itself."On wellness as the new status symbol:"Fashion was becoming less exclusive, which meant people interested in aspiration had to find something more exclusive. And weirdly, it became health. Do you know this doctor? I have better health than you."On the core message:"I look at my daughters and I'm like, you don't have to improve anything. And all I would wish for them is to not waste that time thinking that they're not enough... you're so more than enough."About the Guest:Amy Larocca is an award-winning journalist who spent 20 years at New York Magazine as fashion director and editor at large.
