In this episode of Love, Saranghae, Peter and Andrea discuss the BRO-ization of wellness, a proliferation of wellness culture, particularly its hyper-optimized and often male-centric approach. They explore the risks associated with this trend, including burnout and the pressure to conform to rigid wellness routines. The conversation emphasizes the importance of finding balance in wellness practices, personalizing self-care, and incorporating joy and playfulness into daily routines. Ultimately, they advocate for viewing wellness as a journey rather than a destination, encouraging listeners to engage in practices that foster self-compassion and emotional health.
