Explore equitable practices in holistic health and healing arts: how spas, retreat centers, holistic practitioners, and luxury services incorporate collective liberation. This podcast is perfect for business owners, artists, personal brands, coaches, and service providers destined to find one another in solidarity for justice and healing as one.
In this episode of the Equitable Wellness podcast, we hold conversation with Marisa Guthrie — coach, entrepreneur, and author of the forthcoming book, The Reluctant Capitalist. Together we explore the paradox of surviving and thriving while transforming a system that profits from global injustices. Through the lens of equity, liberation, and holistic business, we unpack anticapitalism and what it means to create ethical income, hold sovereignty within collective wellness, and fulfill the lifetime arc of eroding capitalism as solopreneurs.
It’s been my utmost honor and pleasure to chat with Marisa, for whom writing the book The Reluctant Capitalist is an act of “audacious hope.” Give this episode a listen to hear about her experiences in multicultural London, post-apartheid South Africa, nearly 30 years of entrepreneurship, and the deep research for her book: from economists like Eric Olin Wright and Kate Raworth to journalists like George Monbiot.
