Episode 20: Making Progress On Why Millennials Are Obsessed With Wellness

In this episode of The Progress Girls, Whitney and Madison dive into why millennials have gone from SnackWells and Lunchables to saunas, red light therapy, and green juices. They unpack the psychology behind the wellness obsession—control, health anxiety, and the pressure to optimize every aspect of life. Is this a genuine shift toward better health, or are we just managing anxiety in a more aesthetic way? The girls also share the wellness practices they actually love (and what’s worth skipping), while exploring how to tell the difference between self-care and control. Because sometimes anxiety just throws on a cute workout set, grabs a green juice, and calls itself wellness.
