Wellness Equals #Empowerment.. Right? - with Kaila Tova

Selfie Reflective

Kaila Tova is a PHD student, drag artist and host of the Your Body, Your Brand Podcast ~

You'd assume that the trend of women dropping out of the workforce to pursue online brands is a good thing. After all, what's more inspiring than a person taking charge of their own path?

But as Kaila Tova tells us, this trend is not always necessarily positive. In fact, it's demonstrative of issues that are much bigger than any individual. Plus when online brands are related to health or wellness - things can get a little scary.

Topics include: neoliberalism, feminism, self branding, collectivism, #empowerment and more.
