158: Spirituality Without the Con

We've spent three years tracking the slide from online wellness influencer to red-pilled conspiracy promoter, from yoga and breath work teacher to anti-vax ivermectin slinger, from vegan raw chocolate aficionado to anti-immigrant, transphobic, election denial.

We speak to these today. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
