Is It Worth It?

Women, who report higher levels of stress , anxiety , depression and burnout , may be particularly susceptible to wellness. The perfectionism we impose on women, especially those with demanding care taker roles, forces us to contort our bodies to visions of how we should be. Admidst unending impossible expectations, how could we not fall into this "new form of faith?" Wellness promises what many religions also promise: happiness, purpose, and above all, everlasting life.

This adopted version of Katherine Rowland's incredible article speaks to the dangers of wellness culture gone too far. I've added a few examples and summarized key ideas, but my representation is mostly loyal to the original article. I found this work to be incredibly poignant and relevant, especially on a social media focused on self improvement. I hope you enjoy!
