Hosted by Michelle and Wallis, Good for U(?) is a lighthearted podcast about capitalism-critical consumerism in the wellness industry. Each week, we discuss what's haunting our carts, the trends we can't escape, which sexy unique scams to avoid, and our strong opinions (that are loosely held). It's cosmic consumerism gone rogue.
Good for u! Is it? Maybe. Who's to say? Not no!
