016: How To Be Healthy In An Unhealthy World With Pilar Gerasimo

“Health doesn't happen in a vacuum. It happens in community and society,” explains Pilar Gerasimo, founding editor of Experience Life Magazine. Pilar believes we must make unconventional choices to thrive in an unhealthy world. So in this episode, we explore how to take ownership of our health and find the happiness we seek.

In an age where we are inundated with constant messaging, it’s easy to fall into cycles of burnout and emotional depletion. With busy schedules where we have to cook, clean, and work with little time to ourselves, it’s challenging to find time to rethink our health.

If we take a step back and resist our toxic default realities, we can create the space to make small changes that lead to transformative action. By making healthy choices part of who we are, we can be the change we wish to see.

In fact, in an unhealthy world, choosing health is almost like an act of rebellion. Learn more about societal sabotage, the virtuous cycle of healthy deviance, and stop being a slave to what Pilar termed the “unhealthy default reality.”
